Heather Graham — on Young Fame, Rollergirl, and Becoming a Scream Queen
About this episode
Heather Graham discusses her early career, iconic roles, and her latest projects in the horror genre.
'Boogie Nights’ and ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ star Heather Graham joined the show. Over Spanish mackerel and steak, Heather tells me about doing her first film at age 17 with ‘80s teen icons Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, being discouraged to star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s edgy cult classic ‘Boogie Nights,’ and her latest foray into the horror genre with her new action-packed film ‘They Will Kill You’ and a hotly anticipated new adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Carrie.’ This episode was recorded at Le Pavillon in Midtown Manhattan, NY.
