According to The New York Times, Apa was participating with the Parkinson's Champions team in honour of her grandfather, who passed on from Parkinson's disease in 2022.

 Heather Graham opens up about 'domineering father' and 30-year family estrangement


Heather Graham has spoken candidly about her difficult upbringing, revealing that her father’s controlling nature left her with painful memories she has no desire to revisit. 


The actress explained that her FBI agent father was domineering, while her mother accepted his behavior, creating an environment that normalized unhealthy dynamics. 


By the age of 18, Graham moved out thanks to her first acting paycheck, and by 25, she cut ties with her parents entirely. 


She has maintained that reconciliation would only be possible if her father acknowledged the harm he caused and apologized, something she doubts will happen.


Her career took off with roles in License to Drive, Twin Peaks, and Swingers, but Graham said her father’s paranoia about Hollywood made her early success even more challenging. Despite this, she credits her mother and teachers for encouraging her creative side. 


Over time, Graham has embraced independence, surrounding herself with supportive friends and building a career that now includes writing and directing. 


She has also been outspoken about her choice not to have children, saying that while she occasionally wonders what motherhood would have been like, she is largely grateful for the freedom it has given her.


Beyond her family struggles, Graham has reflected on her love life, including her relationship with the late Heath Ledger in the early 2000s. 


She described him as “amazing” and admitted she was deeply in love during their time together, cherishing the memories and photos they shared. 


Today, Graham takes pride in seeing more women in Hollywood stepping into creative leadership roles, and she continues to focus on projects that amplify female voices. 


For her, setting boundaries with her family and rejecting the need to please others has been a turning point, allowing her to live more authentically and find peace in her personal and professional life.
