Heather Graham |
Though most people know Heather from her relatively recent roles as Rollergirl from Boogie Nights or Felicity Shagwell from Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, she is actually a longtime veteran of the film industry, having made her big-screen debut at the tender age of 14 alongside and Diane Keaton in Mrs. Soffel. She has since appeared in over 40 productions and dated such notable names as and Ed Burns, but it’s the combination of her stunning good looks and ample…er…talent that has transformed Heather into a household name.
Heather’s fans had to be disappointed by her output in 2005, as the actress didn’t appear in a single theatrical release all year. Just about the only place to see Graham was on the small screen, though the pickings were awfully slim there as well. She appeared alongside Desperate Housewives’ Jesse Metcalfe, The Pretender’s Andrea Parker, Malcolm-Jamal “Theo” Warner, and Fred Willard on Bravo’s Celebrity Poker Showdown,, and she reprised her role as Dr. Molly Clock on NBC’sScrubs.
Hot off her acclaimed stint on Scrubs, Heather is tackling a sitcom of her very own, called Emily’s Reasons Why Not. The show casts her as the titular character, a mistrustful woman who must learn how to let her guard down and fall in love after a painful breakup. She’s also got four films slated for release, including: Gray Matters (opposite Molly Shannon and Sissy Spacek), Mary (the latest from noted provocateur Abel Ferrara), Broken (a drama costarring Six Feet Under’s Jeremy Sisto), and Emilio Estevez’s Robert Kennedy project, Bobby.
