Another one bites the dust!
The industry has seen yet another celebrity turn away from the dazzling world of Hollywood to enter the even more exciting world of poker!
The latest starlet to join her cronies on the green felt is Heather Graham, the beautiful blond actress who is best known for her role in the 1997 movie, Boogie Nights.
In the film, Graham played the porn starlet, ‘Roller Girl’ and made waves with her full frontal nudity scenes – making for quite an unforgettable performance!
Since that movie, Graham has starred in a number of others, including From Hell, the 2001 film about Jack the Ripper, and Lost in Space. She was also voted by People Magazine as one of the 100 Most Beautiful People in the World.
So where did Ms. Graham discover the wonderful world of poker?
Industry rumors have it that she spent plenty of her time in Vegas while filming her latest film, Hangover. While there, she could not help by get caught up in the thrill of poker, and before long, she was Born Again.
But don’t be fooled by those pretty blonde locks and big blue eyes. Heather has admitted that the game of poker has unleashed a side of her that she hadn’t even known existed until she placed that first ante.
“Poker is pretty vicious and dark,” she said. “It brings out an ugly side of me that’s pretty competitive.”
So competitive, in fact, that Heather Graham has already entered a poker tournament or two, even earning herself the very respectable fourth placing in one event.
Naturally, Graham is not the first star to discover the lure of poker. She is now in extremely good company with Hollywood actors such as Tobey Macguire, Edward Norton, Jason Alexander (Seinfeld’s ‘George’) and Ben Affleck.
And if she’s looking for a little female company around the table, Graham should also find Shannon Elizabeth of American Pie fame.
