Heather Graham defied family's religious beliefs to do nude scene in ‘Boogie Nights’
Fox News
Heather Graham says she grew up in a religious household that discouraged starring in films with sexual content, but that changed before "Boogie Nights."
At the time, Graham says her agent encouraged her to take the job, one that would have her playing a porn star. "I grew up in a religious family, and they were like, ‘Don’t do anything with any sexual content.'" Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer.

"I had turned down a few things where there was sexual content, and then I saw other people having really good careers," Graham continued. "I just said, ‘Screw it. I wanna do this. The script [for ‘Boogie Nights’] is amazing.'"
