Graham was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 27, 1970, to a schoolteacher mother and an FBI agent father. Even though she grew up in a strictly Catholic home and frequently moved due to her father's job, she developed an early interest in acting.
After appearing in a few minor roles, she enrolled at UCLA to study drama. While attending UCLA, she caught the attention of actor James Woods, who cast her in one of his films. She quit her studies to pursue acting full-time.
She became famous after appearing in films such as "Drugstore Cowboy," "Boogie Nights," and "Killing Me Softly." She rose to fame after appearing in television shows such as "Twin Peaks," "Scrubs," "Californication," and "Bliss."
As Graham's star rose in the entertainment industry, so did the rumors surrounding her romantic relationships, as she was linked to several Hollywood heartthrobs.
Heather Graham Used to Date Several Hollywood Stars, From Heath Ledger to Edward Burns
Graham was rumored to be dating high-profile celebrities and was romantically linked with several actors in Hollywood; some relationships lasted more than a year, while others were just flings.
Graham explained that she has nothing against marriage and plans to get married in the "right situation."

The actress and Ledger first met while filming different projects in Prague. At the time of their relationship, Ledger was 22 years old, while Heather was 33.
Despite no longer being in a relationship, Graham still held Heath Ledger in high regard. In February 2021, she posted a short but sweet tribute to Ledger on Instagram, who passed away from a drug overdose in January 2008.
The tribute included three photos of the couple when they were younger, and in the caption, Graham expressed that Ledger was "such a special person" as she reminisced about their time together.
In 2003, Graham reportedly had a fling with "Friends" star Matthew Perry after they were spotted together several times in public. It's unclear how or why they split after that.
Graham went on to date producer Chris Weitz for two years before reportedly splitting in November 2004. The following month, in the same year, she was in a relationship with actor Josh Lucas, Salma Hayek's ex-boyfriend

Graham, like with her previous boyfriends, eventually ended her and Lucas' relationship. She was then linked to acclaimed Kiwi actor Russell Crowe, who was married to Daniella Spencer from 2003 to 2018.
Graham later made headlines for reportedly dating veteran actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Puerto Rican star Benicio Del Toro. However, the rumors, like hers and Crowe's, faded with time.
