Nationality: United States Executive summary: Rollergirl in Boogie Nights
Heather Graham is a gorgeous blonde actress who first caught attention as the naked skating Rollergirl in Boogie Nights, and in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me as Felicity Shagwell, replacing Elizabeth Hurley opposite Mike Myers.
Her father was an FBI agent, and because of his work the family moved frequently while Graham was growing up. At 13, she filmed commercials for Ivory and Mountain Dew, and at 14 her first film appearance was a bit part in Mrs. Soffel with Mel Gibson and Diane Keaton. She was a drug addict in Drug Store Cowboy, a sexy nun on Twin Peaks, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito's mother in Twins. She could have had Winona Ryder's part in Heathers, but her strict parents disapproved of the story line. After her extended nudity in Boogie Nights, her parents cut off all contact with their daughter.
"It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family", she says, "and yes, part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am. But if they never do, it's OK. I've learned to take care of myself."
