She’s also starred in popular shows like ER (which ran from 1994–2009), Ray Donovan (2013–2020) and Dirt (2007-2008), as well as the film Cool as Ice (1991) alongside rapper Vanilla Ice.
Her performance as Miranda ‘Randi’ Fronczak in ER earned her widespread critical acclaim.
Last year she admitted that she’s only ever watched Home Alone once – and not even all the way through.
Despite the blockbuster’s massive success, she said she doesn’t make a point of watching it in December like everyone else.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the actress revealed that the first ever time she watched the beginning of Home Alone at a screening, she felt ‘quite sick’ and ‘burst into tears’ and has never felt the need to tune in again.
In fact, Minter first realized she didn’t like seeing herself on screen when she invited the kids from the cast of Home Alone to come to her room and watch television one evening after a day of filming.
‘We watched movies in my room and ate pizza,’ she recalled. ‘I had a recurring part on TV show The Outsiders, which aired while we were filming and I remember I invited everyone to my room and I had never seen myself on TV or anything yet, and all of a sudden I started getting really sick and I had to cancel because I needed to watch it by myself.
‘I think I do get quite sick. I’ve actually only seen Home Alone – and I wouldn’t even say I saw it all the way through – once, at a screening. I remember I went to go and see Goodfellas, which came out right before I went to the screening of Home Alone.’

Pesci took on the role of Tommy DeVito in the Martin Scorsese crime drama, which was released in September 1990, but also played the part of Harry Lyme in Home Alone – a burglar who meets his match in Culkin’s Kevin McCallister.
Minter and Pesci share a very brief scene at the beginning of the film when his character poses as a police officer and asks Heather: ‘Do your parents live here?’ to which she replies: ‘My parents live in Paris, sorry.’
Referring to the first time she watched Goodfellas, Minter continued: ‘I remember seeing Joe Pesci’s face and because I had met Joe Pesci, I’m now clocking the size of his face in real life and then the size of his face on the screen and I started getting sick during Goodfellas!’
‘I actually had to walk out of the theatre and get some air and stuff and then I remember with Home Alone it was the first screening I’d ever been to of something I was in and as soon as I saw my face, I burst into tears. And I’ve just never sat down and watched it again. I’ve seen bits and pieces, but I hate hearing my voice.’
Minter continued: ‘Unless it’s something that’s not me at all, like when I play a drug addict… I play a lot of bad guys and I’m really quite fine watching things that are absolutely not me and the worse they make me look, the easier it is for me to watch! Like if I’m trying to be attractive on camera, it’s just… I’m just not my type!’
Minter is seen several times in the first 20 minutes of the movie as the McCallister family prepare for a trip to France in the huge mansion where Macaulay’s character Kevin lives with his parents Kate (O’Hara) and Peter, who is played by John Heard.
When the family accidentally sleep in, it’s a mad rush for them to make it to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on time – and Heather is the one in charge of doing a headcount of all the children before they set off.
She mistakes the McCallister’s neighbor, Mitch Murphy, as Kevin and therefore the group jet off to Europe without the youngster – who wakes up a short while later and discovers that he’s home all alone.
She’s also starred in popular shows like ER, Ray Donovan and Dirt, as well as the film Cool as Ice (1991) alongside rapper Vanilla Ice (seen in a still with Vanilla Ice)
Minter revealed that many fans of the film, whom she interacts with on Cameo, believe that it’s actually Mitch Murphy’s fault what happened to Kevin, and said: ‘I didn’t even know who Mitch Murphy was! I had to look it up and then I realized he’s the kid in the van. So, personally I think it was Mitch Murphy’s parents fault!’
In fact, Minter insisted that Heather was the only person who wasn’t mean to Kevin during the scene when the family are in the kitchen eating pizza and chaos descends after Kevin pushes his big brother Buzz (Devin Ratray) into the dining table.
‘I thought his family was a little mean to him. I’m the only character who’s not mean to him!’ she claimed before admitting it was a ‘very long day eating pizza’ when they filmed the memorable kitchen scene.
When asked what she thought about Culkin, now 43, recently getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Minter replied: ‘I am so happy for him. He deserves that star so much. That little kid carried the movie and it was not easy, and I have a lot of respect for Macaulay Culkin. It had to have been a bit of a hard time for him.’
