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.
