Heather says that even though many are now addressing the issues they’re facing in the industry, nothing has really changed.
“No one really thought about it or commented on it [back in the 1990s]. At that point, people thought they were being really evolved and now we look back and go, ‘Whoa, that was so sexist.’ I’m glad that we are growing as a culture,” she admitted. “Some of the movies from that time period, they were so sexist.”
Heather then added that since thing, there hasn’t been a huge change.

The joke was on me. I remember as a kid seeing Elizabeth Taylor play Cleopatra. I was captivated, but even then, I felt the image was not right. Was her skin really that white? With this new production, could I find the answers about Cleopatra’s heritage and release her from the stranglehold that Hollywood had placed on her image?
