Hedges was Sassy Magazine's "One to Watch" for January 1992. Sassy was a feminist magazine aimed at teen girls that was published from 1988 to 1996. Its "One to Watch" column usually highlighted an up-and-coming young male actor or musician, though Hedges is not primarily either; other "Ones to Watch" during Sassy's run included Billy Zane, Lenny Kravitz, and Jason Priestly.
