How come Heather Graham didn't become a bigger star?

[Mr. Somebody]

Demonic possession. Crooked smile. Demonic eyeshadow. Non-modest attire. Sad.

She is fine as hell, but the reason she didn't get bigger is because she is real faithful, she is a tease that never played the casting couch. She is like the that lady from Entourage, the one who played Vinces agent for awhile and she was in Sin City, Carla Gugna or something, both fine girls who are pretty good actors but but don't sleep around.

 

[Doctor Gonzo]

Not sure what she brings to the table that say, a Cameron Diaz doesn't.

 

[jwinfield]

She's a shytty actress. Both Halle and Salma are significantly better

 

[Nuke Dukem]

You kind of answered your own question in your post.. she was in high demand for her looks. I don't think it helped that she starrred in a bunch of bad indie flicks.

But wow.. did she look good naked in Boogie Nights. I wonder how many people remember her as the drunk passed out broad in the Corey Haim/Feldman classic License To Drive.

Yeah but a lot actress are in high demand for their looks yet they still get parts like Halle Berry and Salma Hayek. And I don't think their talent as actresses are all that far fetched from Heather's.

Oh yeah, I remember her in that License to Drive movie. I haven't watch that movie in a long time.

Off the top of your head, how many Halle Berry and Salmas do you know in Hollywood? Now how many hot blondes can you name?

There's your answer.

It must have been some industry shyt, not that there was a major demand for her, but there isn't for a lot of actresses that get pushed.

I figured it was something like this. Not that she was a super talent or anything, but she was no worse than a lot of pushed actresses and could've been a star.

Good point.

 

[bangbreh]

she was great in scrubs, adorably dizty.
her eatin that keilbasa

 

[Box Cutta]

She was good in Bowfinger, fukking slut

and I enjoyed her time on Scrubs to say the least



consistently good looks.

I agree that Graham looks better, but the basic point was that she's just another blonde. When challenging for rules, it's more than just t*ts....

You can ask this question about millions of people that tried to make it. Graham has done and will continue to do better than most, but ultimately there doesn't seem to be one sure thing that separates stars from non-stars (Well, in modern Hollywood, race seems to )

She's a good actress, but unfortunately she has gotten by on her good looks as opposed to her talent. Halle Berry and Selma have had good/great performances over their careers although Heather was underrated in Boogie Nights.
