Career
When Heather first moved to L.A. to pursue an acting career, she worked as a performer, singing at the Golden Horseshoe Jamboree at Disneyland. She met a guy there, and together, they put together a 14-piece band and started touring. For four years, Heather toured with the band as its lead singer, opening for artists such as Mel Torme, Manhattan Transfer, and Dana Carvey.
From 2000 to 2002, she starred in the CBS television drama That's Life as Lydia DeLucca. She also performed the show's theme song, "Learnin' As I Go," used in the second season. She also appeared in Married with Children, Nowhere Man, Men Behaving Badly, Life with Roger, Jenny, Early Edition, Stark Raving Mad, and Surviving Suburbia. She left acting for a number of years to focus on raising her four children.
She was brought into the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County after befriending cast member Tamra Judge, and she generally gets along with everyone, though she occasionally butts heads with fellow cast members for being so buttoned up. Dubrow appeared on The Real Housewives of Orange County from 2012 to 2016. She reportedly left the show after a series of explosive encounters with then-new Housewife Kelly Dodd. Their drama continued off the show, with Kelly secretly filming Heather outside of a fitness studio, which she posted to her Instagram Story in 2019.
She returned to her acting roots while still trying to balance her work and family life and can be seen in episodes of Malibu Country, Hot in Cleveland, Young & Hungry, and Hawaii Five-0. Some of her Real Housewives castmates affectionately call her "fancy pants" because of her lavish lifestyle.
Dubrow has also worked as a substitute co-host of Good Day L.A. and Botched: Post Op.
Heather has her own podcast, "Heather Dubrow's World," which focuses on health, beauty, wellness, travel, parenting, and also talking about Botched and RHOC. On behalf of her podcast, she appeared at SXSW in 2019. New episodes premiere every Friday on PodcastOne. She also has a YouTube channel called Heather's Closet that debuts new episodes weekly.

Personal Life
When Heather was 27 years old, she asked a friend, who was a transplant surgeon, if he knew any Jewish doctors that he could introduce her to. She was introduced to plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow via a blind date, and while he fell for her right away, she needed a bit more time. When the couple went on one of their first weekend getaways, as Heather was walking up to the plane, she knew that she wanted to marry Terry. Heather and Terry got married three years later, in 1999. They have four children: twins Nicholas and Maximillia, as well as daughters Katarina and Collette. The family lives in Newport Beach.
Dubrow went to medical school at UCLA and also holds a master's degree from Yale University. He went on to complete a residency in general surgery and was chief resident at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and he completed his fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the UCLA Medical Center. Terry Dubrow is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Heather's husband is the star of E!'s hit TV series Botched. The show features him and Dr. Paul Nassif as they help people who have had plastic surgeries go wrong. This is far from his first foray into the reality TV genre. He previously starred in Bridalplasty. The show's concept was to have 12 women compete for a wedding and for transformative cosmetic procedures. Dubrow performed the surgeries. The show also only aired for one season. His second TV show was Good Work, a talk show hosted by RuPaul, Terry Dubrow, and Sandra Vergara. The show only aired for a couple of months in 2015. In 2004, he was part of the Fox show The Swan, in which women who were judged to be ugly were given extreme makeovers that included several forms of plastic surgery.
Her husband is the younger brother of rock singer Kevin Dubrow, who was in the heavy metal band Quiet Riot from 1975 until his death from an overdose in 2007.
In 2018, Heather and Terry Dubrow published the book The Dubrow Diet, which promotes a fad diet. Per their website, the diet is "based on cutting-edge and Nobel prize-winning science that promises not just unprecedented metabolic control, but also an internal cellular rejuvenation with powerful anti-aging effects." The Dubrow Diet is a low-carb diet that uses intermittent fasting to promote weight loss. It emphasizes eating lean proteins, healthy fats, non-starchy vegetables, and fruits.

Chateau Dubrow
In 2013, Heather Terry sold their longtime Orange County mansion for $16.4 million. Around the same time as the sale, they paid $4.3 million for a plot of land in a new Newport Coast community, where they proceeded to build their new dream home. The final product, which they named "Chateau Dubrow," spans 22,000 square feet over nearly a full acre. They reportedly spent $21 million constructing the mansion. In October 2022, they sold Chateau Dubrow to an unnamed buyer for $55 million.
Other Real Estate
The same month of the sale, Terry and Heather paid $14 million for a penthouse in Los Angeles' Century City neighborhood. Located within the 42-story tower known as The Century, the Dubrow's unit has 5,300 square feet of living space and, amazingly, just TWO bedrooms.
