Heather Matarazzo
Matarazzo, instantly recognizable as the girl in 1995’s Welcome to the Dollhouse, is the youngest out lesbian in Hollywood. Currently starring in Hostel: Part II, Matarazzo, who has over 35 film credits to her name, publicly declared her sexuality in 2004, when she was just 21, on the red carpet at a premiere of The Princess Diaries 2. “It was the end of a long press day and I’d been asked ‘do you have a prince charming’ by every reporter,” says Matarazzo, now 24. “So finally I just said ‘No, but I have a princess charming!’” Matarazzo started acting at age 7 (around the same time as her first kiss with her best friend) and spent her childhood shuttling between movie sets and her parents’ Long Island home. Incredibly down-to-earth, the Manhattan resident recently began volunteering with New York’s Harvey Milk High School. Next up? Logo’s Exes and Oh’s. –MW
