Heather & Heroin
I interviewed Heather Graham last night on the red-carpet at the Music Box Theatre for the Chicago GenArt Film Festival premiere of her new movie Broken. Here’s a recap of my slightly AWKWARD interview.
Liz: Tell me about your role, does it remind you of your early days of acting?
Heather: Yeah you know, when I was a heroin addict my life was just like this.
Liz: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(My intern Amy prepped me for this interview. She informed me she played the role of a struggling actor, but failed to mention that the struggling actor was also a heroin addict. Oops! INTERN! Just kidding Amy, love ya!)
Heather: No life for me was never like this. I was never a heroin addict.
Liz: Not even in Boogie Nights?
Heather: No we weren’t doing heroin. We were just doing coke.
Liz: Ok GREAT! Seriously, how was it playing this intense role?
Heather: It was really fun. I think, I always kind of wanted to be one of those rock chicks.
Liz: You look like a rock chick right now, I love those boots!
Heather: I dress like one of those rock chicks, but I’m not really a rock chick.
Liz: So are you dating anyone right now?
Heather: Yeah I am. He’s right over there.
Liz: Who’s the mystery man?
Heather: His name is Charles Ferri. (He owns Star nightclub in New York.)
Ferri truly is a trooper. He sat and watched the entire flick with Graham and I must say that couldn’t of been easy for him. Graham had some intense sex scenes, which included a lesbian make-out session and a rough ride with her drug dealer. Go Roller Girl!
