Heather Michele O'Rourke (December 27, 1975 – February 1, 1988) was an American child actress.
She made her debut after being discovered by director Steven Spielberg while visiting MGM's studios.
Spielberg promptly casted her in the horror film Poltergeist (1982) as Carol Anne Freeling, and was recognized for her performance.
She was also notable for saying her iconic line, "They're here!" She then reprised the role in the second and third installments.
O'Rourke was also recognized for her work in television, and appeared in recurring roles on Happy Days from 1982 to 1983, on Webster in 1983, as well as appearing in the television-film Surviving in 1985. Throughout her career, O'Rourke had been nominated for six Young Artist Awards, winning one for her role in Webster, and appeared in a total of three films (all of which are from the Poltergeist franchise) and twelve television series, before her death at the age of 12 from cardiac arrest and septic shock caused by a misdiagnosed intestinal stenosis.
