Amber Heard dropped out of school in order to pursue a career in modeling at the age of 17. She then worked her way into the Hollywood scene and landed roles in Jack & Bobby, Friday Night Lights, and The Mountain. After numerous guest roles, she was cast in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, playing the titular character. This led to yet another major gig for Heard, who returned to the small screen to play Greta Matthews on Hidden Palms. The series, unfortunately, was short-lived.
From 2008 to 2010, Heard concentrated on doing movies such as Pineapple Express, Never Back Down, Zomebieland, The Stepfather, The River Why, Ward and The Informers. At present, she stars as Maureen on the series The Playboy Club.
