 | | Heather Graham's playing a porn star upset parents | | |  |
The 'Boogie Nights' movie ruined Heather Graham's relationship with her parents.
The Hollywood beauty, who had a strict Catholic upbringing, admits her
family are unhappy with her playing a porn star
Heather, 37, told the Weekend magazine: "'Boogie Nights' was quite explicit
and my parents were horrified. They didn't really want to hear my point of
view, and thought that, because I took the part, then I was like that in
real life.
"It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family, and yes,
part of me longs to have a mum and dad who love and accept me for who I am.
But if they never do, it's OK.
"I've learnt to take care of myself."
She said: "My parents were quite strict and religious, so it's taken me a
long time to become comfortable with my sexuality. They even wanted me to be
a nun at one stage.
"Not surprisingly, I grew up feeling sex must be a bad thing and I used to
feel guilty as a young woman for having any kind of sexual thoughts. I was
convinced I would go to Hell.
"Men I meet tend to think of me as this super-sexy, wild woman, when in fact
it has taken me a long time to be able to express that side of myself.
"One ex-boyfriend was so surprised to find out that I wasn't anything like
the wild, crazy person he had expected. I basically think that I'm a fairly
nice, normal person with just a few eccentricities."
