One of Heather Graham‘s career-defining roles was as Rollergirl in the 1997 movie, Boogie Nights, but the character came with its challenges, including a nude scene. It was something she had tried to avoid early on in her career, but she eventually had a change of heart. 

“I grew up in a religious family, and they were like, ‘Don’t do anything with any sexual content,’” Graham said on the Oct. 8 episode of Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast “But try to be a woman in Hollywood in your early 20s, mid-20s, and then to try to get no roles with any sexual content — it’s like impossible.” The now-54-year-old actress watched her peers “having really good careers” while embracing films with “sexual content.”
