Heather Graham became a guitar-playing rock chick for her latest movie.

The 'Boogie Nights' actress sings and plays a six-string on 'The Hanging Tree', a song which features in her upcoming film 'Broken.' The 37-year-old actress learnt to play the guitar for her role as aspiring musician Hope, who moves to Hollywood in search of success but ends up working the overnight shift at a diner.

Heather Graham's strictly religious parents severed contact with her after she played a porn star in 'Boogie Nights'. The Hollywood beauty, who had a strict Catholic upbringing, admits her family are unhappy with her sex symbol status.

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."

Heather Graham insists there's nothing quite like kissing a pair of soft lips - be it male or female.

Heather recently said she loved her same-sex kiss in new movie "Gray Matters."

Sean Penn wasn't going to accept an award without giving everybody a piece of his mind first, whether they liked it or not.

Penn recently warned an audience unless they challenge President Bush and Vice President Cheney over the Iraq war they will become "c*m stains" at a New York awards ceremony on Monday night.
