Heather Graham, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry ‘butted heads’ with family, faced warnings Hollywood was 'evil'

Stars like Heather Graham, Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry struck it big in Hollywood, but they did not always have the support of their parents.

"I was homeless, but I told her, ‘This is what I have to do.’ "They don’t agree with some of the things I do, and they do wish that I could do other things." "I always thought my father was a little embarrassed by me. He couldn’t quite be proud of an unconventional showbiz act that he couldn’t understand.'

She told The Wall Street Journal that her father, "regularly told me that the entertainment industry was evil and that Hollywood would claim my soul."

Graham moved out of her parents' home at 18 after her breakout role in "License to Drive" in 1988, recalling "I said to myself, ‘I’ve got to get out of here, I’ve got to be successful, and I’ve got to be a movie star.’"
