Tragedy at HOLLYWOOD. The Bold and the Beautiful…

HEATHER Tom is sad because her mom died.

She played Katie Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful.

It was hard for the actress to say goodbye to the woman she called her “most important influence.”

Heather sent a video and several photos to Instagram to honor her mother, Marie.

The actress also wrote a long, poignant message.

As my mother passed away at 12:20 a.m. on Sunday, my brother David, sister Nicholle, and Michael, who was her only child and not adopted, held her hand, kissed her face, and whispered “I love you.”

“She was my biggest champion and my most important influence.”

Heather talked about how her mom liked toy poodles, Mexican food, margaritas, and Elvis Presley.

She also said that she helped her move her family to Los Angeles, even though Marie was a single mother.

“Any talent we have is hers.” “Anything that drives us is hers,” Heather said.

“I’ll miss her every day, but every time I look into my son’s eyes, I’ll see her there, because they are hers.”

I am so thankful that I was able to put my hand on her heart as she died. I will feel her hand on mine until I die too. Mama, I love you. Take it easy. “You deserve it.”

HEATHER TOM

Heather Marie Tom was born in Hinsdale, Illinois, on November 4, 1975. She acts and directs.

She may be best known for her parts as Katie Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful and Victoria Newman on The Young and the Restless.

According to Soap Opera Digest, Heather said of her B&B character, “She has come a long way.”

“Thank goodness she hasn’t been stuck in one place.” Katie has been through a lot of things that have changed her view of the world and how she deals with relationships and problems.

“She comes from the same background as her sister and will always feel like she’s walking in her footsteps, but she has come into her own.”

Heather has also played lead roles in Criminal Minds, One Life to Live, Ugly Betty, and Rizzoli & Isles.

TIME WITH THE FAMILY

In 2011, Heather got married to musician James Achor.

He has worked in the music department for many shows over the years, such as Charmed (1999), Waking Up in Reno (2002), All Aboard America (2004), The Manzanar Fishing Club (2012), and Bigfoot’s Love Slave (2017).

He has also contributed music to the place where his wife works at The Bold and the Beautiful.

Heather’s job keeps her busy, but that hasn’t stopped her from starting a family.

The two-time Daytime Emmy winner had her son, Zane Alexander Achor, in 2012.

Tom wrote on social media in 2020, “I’m so proud to be your mom—you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” Sam was her son.

Because Zane is so young, not much is known about his personal life. However, he is often on Tom’s Instagram page.
