FROM 'SUPERGIRL' TO SONGWRITER: HELEN SLATER

Helen Slater's career has encompassed motion pictures, television, music, and legitimate stage. Upon graduating from the famed High School of Performing Arts, her debut film performance in Supergirl, opposite Faye Dunaway and Peter O'Toole, won praise from the most cynical of critics and launched her performing career.  She went on to star in such films as The Legend of Billie Jean, Ruthless People, The Secret of My Success, City Slickers, Sticky Fingers, Lassie, No Way Back, The Steal, and Seeing Other People, among others.

 

Her credits also include the Fox original movie 12:01, Hallmark Hall of Fame's Best Friends for Life with Gena Rowlands, Toothless with Kirstie Alley and Lifetime’s The Good Mother.  She currently has two movies in postproduction, The Curse of Downer's Grove with Bela Heathcote and A Remarkable Life with Daphne Zuniga.

 

Helen has also found success in the theatre world. She co-founded the theatre group The Naked Angels, and was a member of the Actor's Movement Studio. 

 

A singer and songwriter since her days at the High School of Performing Arts, Helen has performed at clubs and benefits in the Los Angles area. As an artist, Helen has also released four CDs of her own original music, including a unique children’s album about Greek mythology.
