Heather's family raised this young actress in
a strict Catholic household and were probably very
angry when she did Boogie Nights. From a young age
she was often encouraged to enter a convent and
become a nun. However, Heather had other plans.
She tasted acting in a local play and became an
instant junkie. Soon her parents were driving her
to Los Angeles for auditions, but they kept control
over her work. She was forced to turn down a role
in Heathers because of the language in the film.
Heather decided to work on a back-up plan, so she
enrolled at UCLA. Midway through her sophomore year
she dropped out to once again pursue acting. Numerous
roles followed, but none established her as a star.
Then came Swingers. Jon Faverau and Vince Vaughn
starred in this hilarious cult classic, and Heather
played the girl of the main character's dreams.
She wowed audiences with her beauty and critics
with her acting ease.
But a role in Boogie Nights established her as a
superstar. The dramatic film that relaunched Burt
Reynolds' career was wildly successful with critics
and a decent box office hit. As Rollergirl, a porn
star on wheels, Graham was electric. Details crowned
her Queen of Hollywood, painted her in gold and
slapped her on the cover. From there it was pretty
much downhill, Austin Powers 2, Bowfinger, and the
superbly acted Two Guys and a Girl followed. Heather
is now a definite Hollywood star.
Aside from acting, Heather is still very religious,
although her views have strayed from her Catholic
upbringing. Her love life has also been very well
documented. A longtime love affair with Edward Burns
was most notable, until her recent engagement to
Heath Ledger. |
