[edit] Career
From 1993-1995, she played the role of Stephanie "Steffi" Brewster on the soap opera Loving. She also played the character for two months in that show's short-lived spin off The City from November 1995 until January 1996. In 1994, she was nominated for a Soap Opera Digest Award for "Outstanding Female Newcomer".
Through the 1990s she appeared in many made for TV movies as well as a starring role in the 1999 Steven Soderbergh film The Limey as Peter Fonda's girlfriend. She appeared in the music video for "I Will Buy You a New Life" by Everclear.
In 2001, she returned to the world of daytime television, this time in the role of Mia Saunders on All My Children, the heretofore unknown half-sister of Liza Colby (Marcy Walker). Although she started as a front-burner character, her romantic pairing with Jake Martin (J. Eddie Peck) didn't work out because of the actor's exit from the show, and so Mia was limited to being a background character. In 2004, Heinle opted not to renew her contract with All My Children and left the show.
On March 21, 2005, Heinle joined the cast of the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, as Victoria Newman, replacing the popular Heather Tom in the role.
Heinle also appeared in season 4, episode 20 of Ghost Whisperer entitled "Stage Fright" with real life husband, Thad Luckinbill, and fellow daytime drama actress Lesli Kay in April 2009.
[edit] Personal life
In 1995, she married her Loving co-star and on-screen love interest Michael Weatherly, who played the role of "Cooper Alden." On January 10, 1996 Heinle gave birth to the couple's son, August Manning Weatherly, in New York City. In 1997, she and Weatherly divorced.
In March 2007, she married her Young and the Restless co-star Thad Luckinbill, who portrays her onscreen ex-husband, J.T. Hellstrom. The couple welcomed their first child together, a son, Thaddeus Rowe Luckinbill, Jr. "Rowe", on November 2, 2007. They welcomed their second child, a daughter Georgia March Luckinbill on December 17, 2009.[2]
