Heather Graham
Actress, writer, and producer Heather Graham dropped out of college after two years in order to pursue her acting career. Her first acting role was an uncredited appearance at the age of 14, and her first credited appearance was at the age of 17 in the TV film Student Exchange. In 1989 she starred in the crime drama Drugstore Cowboy, which put her on the map as a legitimate actress.
Graham continued to appear in film and television, but it was only towards the late nineties that she gained wide-spread recognition, after she starred in the critically-acclaimed period drama Boogie Nights (1997). Some of her other notable performances were in the comedy Say It Isn’t So (2001) and the romantic comedy Gray Matters (2007).
