Heather Graham

Heather Graham, to me, is one of the most underrated presences of her generation. Her late-nineties breakthrough, capped by that 1998 MTV Movie Award, could have frozen her forever as a screen ingenue, all sunshine and wide eyes. Instead she quietly built a long, varied career, moving into producing and writing while keeping that disarming openness on camera. A UCLA-educated Milwaukee native who reads as effortless is usually someone working very hard. I suspect her apparent lightness is actually craft, and the industry has consistently undervalued how difficult it is to play warmth convincingly. I always find myself rooting for her.
