The Bold and the Beautiful fans are so excited that one of their own took home the Emmy for the Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the 2019 Emmys, but they also know that one of their own also lost to Jacqueline MacInnes Wood. It’s hard to feel sad when you know you took home a win, even when another of your favorites did not win. Heather Tom, who is the lovely and glorious Katie, did not win. But, we also know that her role has been a boring one lately. Writers continue to make her some sad, meek woman who always manages to lose out on what is good in life. She loses to her sisters, to her friends, to everyone in between, and her story line never changes. So, while we think she is a fabulous actress in every manner of speaking, it would have been hard for her to win with such poor writing these days. On that note, though, we want to share some fun facts about this Emmy nominee.
She Comes From a Talented Family
You know how some people seem to come from families who just cannot stop when it comes to winning at life? Her family is one of those. What are the odds that you have three kids, and all three of them are successful actors in Hollywood? What are the odds for this family? Well, higher than most. She’s an actress, her younger sister is an actress, and her brother is an actor. You already know that while she was playing Victoria Newman on the Young and the Restless, her real life brother was over there playing Billy Abbot. Her sister, Nicholle Tom, is famous for her roles in “Beethoven” movies as well as the famous sitcom “The Nanny,” and many more projects. They’ve done well as a family.
She and Her Brother Were Nominated Together
To further prove that she and her brother and her entire family are so talented, she and her brother made Emmy history back in 2000. They were both nominated that year for an Emmy Award for their roles on daytime television. They are the first brother and sister duo to get to this point in their lives, and that is something that will never be taken from them. Can you imagine how proud their parents must have felt that year? Two kids nominated for the most prestigious award in daytime television history at the same time? That is a beautiful and wonderful thing that they went through.
Her Son is Her Son
Heather Tom and her husband were together a long time before they got married. It was 15 years into their relationship when they got engaged in August of 2011. They got married a mere month later, and only 13 months after that, they welcomed their first child. Their son, Zane, has gone to work with his mother regularly since his birth. In fact, any good B&B fan knows who he is because he shows up on the show regularly as her own son. That’s right. Her real life son has played her on-screen, Will, off and on for many years. What a great way to make use of the people you have on set and make use of your child coming to work with you. Most people make their kids make copies or shred documents when they go to work with them. She makes her son play her son on national television, and we are all about it.
She is A Business Woman
If the acting thing doesn’t work out for her — and it has, so this is unlikely — Heather Tom does have a job to fall back on. She’s got a successful business with her husband. They run a design company that has been featured in many magazines, television shows, and they’ve even been on HGTV. She and her husband dare doing well, and they have little to worry about when it comes to the success of their design company. They’ve been able to build it up to the success it is right now, and that is something so amazing and beautiful. It’s hard to not feel proud of her for her accomplishments.
