- Heather Graham is a beloved American actress
- She shockingly turns 54 years old today
- THIS is what she has been up to lately
Hollywood has seen many stars rise and shine, but few have sparkled quite like Heather Graham. From her high school days as "Most Talented" to her full-throttle dive into the acting world, Heather's journey is nothing short of a Hollywood script!
Born to a retired FBI agent and an author-teacher duo in Milwaukee, Heather's life was a nomadic adventure, moving from place to place before settling in California at the tender age of nine. With stars in her eyes and talent to boot, she bid adieu to her English studies at UCLA, chasing the bright lights of Tinseltown instead.
Heather's story is very unique
Heather's uncredited debut in 'Mrs. Soffel' (1984) may have been modest, but it wasn't long before she was turning heads as Mercedes Lane in 'License to Drive' (1988). Her role in 'Heathers' the same year cemented her as a face to watch. But it was her portrayal of a drug-addicted "Nadine" in 'Drugstore Cowboy' that truly showcased her acting chops.
The 90s saw Heather's star soar, with roles in 'Twin Peaks', 'Diggstown', and alongside big names like Keanu Reeves in 'I Love You to Death'. She even snagged a Young Artist Award nomination for her role in 'Shout' (1991). The mid-90s had her in 'Swingers' and 'Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story', proving her range and depth.
And then came the iconic roles. Heather's turn as the irresistible "Felicity Shagwell" in 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me' (1999) had audiences grooving to her beat. And who could forget her as "Jade" in the laugh riot 'The Hangover' (2009)? And she's not just a pretty face, Heather lent her voice to the virtual realm in 'EverQuest 2' and continued to dazzle on the small screen in 'Californication' and 'Law & Order True Crime'.
Perhaps it's her ability to glide effortlessly between drama and comedy, her captivating on-screen presence, or simply her dedication to her craft. One thing's for sure, Heather Graham is a Hollywood mainstay we can't get enough of!
Heather's doing it on her own
Heather has never been married or had kids. She is also estranged from her parents. She has been in several high-profile relationships with actors like Russell Crowe, Josh Lucas and Matt Dillon. She has famously said she “dodged a bullet” by not marrying and having kids. Saying she’d rather be "happily single" than "unhappily married."
In fact, Graham always posts her comings and goings for fans. She shared the snaps to her Instagram feed on Oct. 8, 2023, posting a carousel of moments from the sunny trip, including a bit of PDA with her boyfriend, John de Neufville.
In the first photo, Graham ate some gelato in a flowery romper and a white hat, while the second showed de Neufville kissing her on the cheek. Next up, Graham posed in a bold black bikini during a relaxing swim, later donning the same swimsuit in a video in the roundup post.
Whether the pair will tie the knot at some point remains to be seen!

Heather told 'People' magazine this last April: "Of course, you want someone to understand your crazy schedule, which is different than a normal job, but I like dating someone who's not in the business... It puts it in perspective. Sometimes your job becomes so important to you, and then you realize there's so many other things in life that are happening. It's not all about the movie business."
As far as the future is concerned, a few of her upcoming projects include the rom-com 'The Other Zoey', reportedly out soon, as well as the holiday film 'Best. Christmas. Ever!', which is set to premiere next month.
Fans can also look forward to seeing Heather in the upcoming film 'Chosen Family' set to be released later this year.
