Amber Laura Heard attended high school at St. Michael’s Catholic Academy in Austin until her junior year, when she left to pursue a career in Hollywood.
At 17, she dropped out of high school to be a model. She continued her studies at home, earning a diploma. She made early appearances in music videos before landing acting roles in episodes of Jack & Bobby (2004), The Mountain (2004) and a cameo as a salesgirl in The O.C. (2005).
After a series of roles playing mostly high school students, Heard got her first grownup part in 2011's The Rum Diary – alongside Depp.
