Heather Graham on Awkward Intimacy Coordinators

Heather Graham, who gained fame as Rollergirl in 'Boogie Nights,' has expressed mixed feelings about the increasing use of intimacy coordinators on film sets. She finds their presence during intimate scenes can be peculiar, especially given her experience filming without them for years.

Graham shared an anecdote where she felt she had to comfort an intimacy coordinator during a disturbing scene, highlighting the unexpected dynamic. She also recounted an instance where an intimacy coordinator overstepped by attempting to direct her performance during a sex scene, which she found confusing and inappropriate.

While acknowledging that intimacy coordinators might be beneficial for younger or less experienced actors, Graham, now 56, feels she is strong enough to assert herself and prefers fewer people in the room during such scenes. Her latest project, the horror-comedy 'They Will Kill You,' allowed her to take on physically demanding roles, showcasing her continued interest in action-oriented parts.
