She went on to unforgettable roles in the 1997 classic Boogie Nights, for which she received the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, and 1999's Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Also in 1999, Graham was named ShoWest Female Star of Tomorrow.

Her performances include that of a doe-eyed girl in Swingers, with Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn; an ambitious young actress in Frank Oz's Bowfinger, with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy; and the tragic Mary Kelly in Albert and Allen Hughes' From Hell, opposite Johnny Depp, as well as roles in The Guru, with Marisa Tomei; Hope Springs, opposite Colin Firth; Committed, with Luke Wilson; Ed Burns' ensemble Sidewalks of New York; James Toback's Two Girls and a Guy, with Robert Downey Jr.; Lost in Space, with Gary Oldman and William Hurt; and Six Degrees of Separation, starring Will Smith.

Her upcoming film projects include Baby on Board, opposite Jerry O'Connell and John Corbett, and Boogie Woogie, alongside Stellan Skarsgard and Gillian Anderson, for director Duncan Ward.

On stage, Graham made her theatrical debut off-Broadway in Playwrights Horizons' Recent Tragic Events.
