Heather Graham has been on most men's radars after her performance in Boogie Nights as Roller Girl. She recently starred in Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and in the recent Lenny Kravitz video for American Woman, as a very, very, very sexy dancer. She's all woman. Undeniably sexy. She has that innocent face that seems to be hiding a wild woman inside.
Heather boasts a baby face look. Her innocent face is charming, yet seductively deceptive.
"It was the timing in my life. I got a lot out of doing Rollergirl. I've gotten a lot from every director, but, psychologically, that role gave me a lot of confidence." -Heather Graham on her role in Boogie Nights.
Heather Graham's Birthday
Heather Graham was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 29th, 1970. Soon after that, Heather was joined by her baby sister, Aimee, and they attended their very first elementary school in Virginia because her father worked for the FBI and they were forced to relocate quite often.
After having been shuffled around again, Heather and her little sister attended Sumac Elementary. A little while after that, they attended a school called Lindero Canyon Middle School.
Heather Graham as Actress
Heather went from odd job to odd job, eventually landing various roles and bit parts in movies such as License To Drive and the critically acclaimed Drugstore Cowboy, which starred Matt Dillon. As well, Heather also appeared on the small screen in the popular television drama Twin Peaks.
After some success in Hollywood, Heather decided to enroll in the University of California at Los Angeles. Her major was in English Literature, but unfortunately she dropped out after only two years. She did, however, come away with something positive.
It was at UCLA that Heather first read one of her favorite books by Dostoevsky, entitled The Brothers Karamazov. It was this book that impressed renowned actor James Woods when he first spotted the blonde bombshell. In 1992, Heather landed a small role in Diggstown; a movie that Woods starred in.
In the next few years that followed, Heather went on to play diverse roles in films such as Six Degrees of Separation, which starred Will Smith, Don't Do It and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues. While Heather was furthering her acting career, she piqued the interest of filmmakers like James Toback and Jon Favreau. Apparently, Favreau took Heather swing dancing one night, and a year and a half later, she played Lorraine in his nearly legendary movie Swingers. Toback soon after had his opportunity to work with her and cast her in his film entitled Two Girls and A Guy.
But it was in 1997, that Heather got her breakout role and would not soon be forgotten. She played "Rollergirl," a young porn actress who constantly wore roller-skates everywhere she went, in the true story of renowned porn actor John Holmes' life entitled Boogie Nights.

Heather Graham is Unemployed
Is it really news when a TV show that no one watched gets cancelled? It is when it's a fairly
hyped show starring Heather Graham, and it gets cancelled after only one airing. Glitterati writes that ABC took Graham's new (well, old now) show "Emily's Reasons Why Not" was taken off the schedule after only the first episode.
That's gotta hurt. But maybe now Heather Graham will go back to Scrubs, or even better, go back to making B movies where she takes off her clothes.
