Heather Parry

Heather Parry is a TV and film producer. In December 2015, she was tapped to be the President of Production for film and television at Live Nation. From 2005-2015, she was the Head of Film at Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, and from 1993-2005, she was at MTV, first as West Coast Bureau Chief, and then in film development and production.

Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends) (2017) is directed by Colin Hanks, produced by Heather Parry, and executive produced by Michael Rapino. The film chronicles the events before and after the November 13 terrorist attacks at Le Bataclan Theater in Paris, and focuses on the friendship between the band's front-man Jesse Hughes and sometime band member Josh Homme. The film will debut on HBO in February 2017.

In October 2016, Parry and Guy Oseary, talent manager for Madonna and U2 at Maverick, signed on to co-manage the estate of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain.

After working with Sandler on The Longest Yard, Parry was brought on to run film development and production at Happy Madison Productions, where she produced The House Bunny (2008), Just Go with It (2011), That's My Boy (2012), and Pixels (2015).

The House Bunny (2008) was the first female driven comedy for Happy Madison, directed by Fred Wolf, starring Anna Faris as Shelley Darlington, a 27-year old playboy bunny (though, as her friend so tactlessly points out, is "59 in bunny years") who is kicked out of the infamous Playboy Mansion for her aging indiscretion. With no other talents aside from the obvious, Faris’ character finds herself as the house mother for the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority—home to seven of the most socially-inept sisters in the zip code, though played by some of the most beautiful and intriguing female forces flaming up Hollywood, including Rumer Wilis, Katherine McPhee, and Emma Stone. The film grossed $70 million worldwide. The script was first brought to Parry by the screenwriters of Legally Blonde, Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz, who had attached Anna Faris as the lead. The film was widely acclaimed as smart, special, charming, and hilarious. Said Faris of Parry: "I'd go as far as to say [Parry] is the reason this movie got made. She is an incredible supporter of the female comedy." "Female comedies are not hard to make," shares Parry, "they’re hard to get made."
