Heather Graham struggles to reconcile her life and career with her conservative upbringing
SHE is one of Hollywood’s first choices for scantily clad, doe-eyed heroines and she has been linked off-screen to a string of leading men.
Yet it’s all a far cry from Heather Graham’s conservative Catholic upbringing in Wisconsin. And the 43-year-old says she has struggled to reconcile her life and career as a result.
“A lot of times we’re brought up to please other people or take care of other people,” says the Boogie Nights star. “It’s ingrained in our nature to be motherly.
“I had to step outside that and go, ‘What makes me happy?’ I was taught to be demure so it was harder for me to learn how to stand up for myself and say, ‘What do I want? What are my desires?'”
We’re sure plenty of guys would have been happy to help Heather with her journey of self-discovery…
