Heather Graham was born January 29, 1970, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to a family of Irish descent. The eldest of two children, her younger sister, Aimee Graham, is also an actress and writer. Their mother, Joan, is a teacher and noted author of children's books, and father, James Graham, a retired FBI agent. The girls were raised with family values that followed a strict traditional Catholic upbringing. Graham graduated from the Agoura High School in California in 1989. In 1986, she appeared on a special "Teen Week" episode of the NBC-TV game show Scrabble.

After high school, Graham enrolled in extension classes of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), where she met actor James Woods. They became romantically involved during the the time she was cast in the movie Diggstown, where he had landed the starring role. After two years there, Graham withdrew from school at UCLA to pursue acting full time, over her parents' objections. She then moved to Hollywood, where she worked different jobs while continuing to establish herself as an actress. Source:www.wikipedia.org
