Heather Graham Reveals Why She Hasn’t Spoken to Her Parents in Nearly 30 Years – E! Online
“When the movie came out, I was 18,” Heather explained. “Living at home had become more difficult. I said to myself, ‘I’ve got to get out of here, I’ve got to be successful, and I’ve got to be a movie star.’”
It was only seven years later—during which time she’d landed supporting roles on the TV series Twin Peaks and in movies such as Six Degrees of Separation and Swingers—that her relationship with her parents was finished for good.
“I stopped talking to my parents when I was 25, and I’m estranged from them now,” Heather confirmed. “My friends are proud of me, and I’m proud of myself.”
While Heather hasn’t taken on a leading role since Say It Ain’t So and From Hell (both released in the early 2000s), she’s taken on a number of supporting roles in the years since, including work on both Hangover movies and series such as Scrubs.
