Heather Graham Detailed Biography
|
On the 29th day of January1970, Heather Graham wasborn in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.While her strict- Catholic fatherwas busy learning anti-terroristtechniques for the FBI, Heatherwould attend her very firstelementary school in Virginia,where she had very fondmemories, particularly of thelandscape and people. Later,she would attend SumacElementary School, followedby Lindero Canyon MiddleSchool, and finally, AgouraHigh School, where she wouldspend some of her worstyears.
While studying there, she always felt that she didn't really know how to talk topeople. Boys would have no time for her. People would tease her. She was evenconsidered a sort of ''theater geek'' by her classmates. Heather was neverconsidered part of the 'popular' crowd. Her family life didn't seem very comfortableeither, as Heather and her parents did not get along.After High School she began landing various roles such as License to Drive and thecritically acclaimed Drugstore Cowboy, and appearing on the popular televisionseries Twin Peaks. She eventually decided to enroll at the University of California atLos Angeles. There, she majored in English, but dropped out after only two years. Itwas, however, at UCLA where she first read one of her favorite books, The BrothersKaramazov. Little did she know that Dostoevsky would indirectly play a part in herlove life.
For the next few years, she would go on to play various roles in films like SixDegrees of Separation, Don't Do It, and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Throughoutthis time, she won the admiration of several filmmakers, including James Tobackand Jon Favreau. One night, as legend has it, Favreau took Graham to go swingdancing, and 18 months later, she played Lorraine in the critically-acclaimedFavreau vehicle, Swingers. Toback eventually got his chance and cast her in theupcoming film, Two Girls and a Guy.In 1997 her mesmerizing performance as Roller Girl in Boogie Nights launched herinto the stardom that was long overdue.
