Following her breakthrough performance as a wide-eyed drug addict in "Drugstore Cowboy" (1989), actress Heather Graham had a hit-or-miss career that was punctuated with several winning performances amidst an equal amount of duds. She spent nearly the next 10 years looking to fulfill the early promise of "Drugstore." But instead, she lagged in films like the divisive "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" (1992) - a continuation of her season two performance on "Twin Peaks" (ABC 1990-91) - and "Diggstown" (1992). She finally made good, however, with her star-making turn as a roller skating porn star in "Boogie Nights" (1997). Though co-stars Julianne Moore and Burt Reynolds received the lion's share of critical praise, Graham nonetheless managed to rise above the fray and established her credentials as well as created an iconic screen character. After "Boogie Nights," Graham was able to land roles in blockbuster films like "Lost in Space" (1998) and "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999). But once again, her star faded a bit, leading to a brief conversion to television that ended in disaster when her own show lasted just one episode. Despite the failure, Graham continued on as a steady presence, maturing into a well-rounded character actress equally at ease in comic and dramatic roles in films ranging from comedy smash "The Hangover" (2009) to indie horror cult favorite "Horns" (2013), as well as TV work including a campy trilogy of made-for-TV movies based on V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic series of pulpy novels and a supporting role on the legal drama spinoff "Law and Order True Crime" (NBC 2017- ).
