‘Boogie Nights’ Star Says Religious Dad Tried to Stop Her Career

Boogie Nights star Heather Graham revealed the childhood events that nearly derailed her pursuit of an acting career—and cost her her relationship with her parents.

Graham, 56, appeared on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s On Me podcast, where she recalled how her uber-religious father had tried to steer her away from her acting dreams.

“My father was really controlling, and he would be like, ‘When you’re in my house, you have to do what I say.’ And I remember thinking, ‘I’m never going to have somebody to say that to me again,” said Graham, who now owns multiple properties on both U.S. coasts.
