Before joining Hollywood, Heidi Mark used to work as a model. She was also a Hooter’s girl. It was through her modeling gigs that she was first noticed by casting agents. In 1994, she made her acting debut as Sharon Newman in the American TV soap opera ‘The Young and the Restless’. In the same year, she also featured on the cover of ‘Playboy’. Her appearance on the magazine’s April issue captured the attention of the American audience, and she became a ‘sex-symbol’ overnight. Heidi’s next appearance was in an episode of ‘Fortune Hunter’ (1994). She followed that up with her breakthrough role in the TV series ‘Thunder in Paradise’. She played the recurring character of Alison Wilson on the action-adventure show and received praise for her performance. In 1994, she bagged two more TV series, namely ‘Silk Stalkings’ and ‘Red Shoes Diaries’.

Heidi Mark continued her trajectory of success in 1995, and it turned out to be one of the most significant years of her career. She made her film debut in the 1995 TV movie ‘Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan’. She followed that up with two direct-to-video movies. One of them was ‘Baywatch: Forbidden Paradise’ (1995).
