In 1986, she appeared on a special "Teen Week" episode of the [[NBC]] game show ''[[Scrabble (game show)|Scrabble]]''. Then she appeared in numerous television commercials, and an episode of the sitcom ''[[Growing Pains]]'' in 1987. Her first high-profile starring role came in the [[Corey Haim]]/[[Corey Feldman]] vehicle ''[[License to Drive]]'' (1988), as a popular girl named Mercedes Lane, who serves as the love interest of Haim's character. Her efforts won her a [[Young Artist Award]] nomination in the Best Young Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Fantasy category. Her strict parents forbade her to accept a role in the [[black comedy]] ''[[Heathers]]'' (1988), which had an expletive-rich script.<ref name=HC/> The same year, she had an uncredited appearance as [[Danny DeVito]] and [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s mother in flashbacks in their film, ''[[Twins (1988 film)|Twins]]''.<ref>{{cite book|first=Leonard|last=Maltin|title=Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide 2006|location=New York|publisher=Signet|year=2005|isbn=978-0-45121-609-0|page=1367}}</ref> === From ''Drugstore Cowboy'' to ''Swingers'' (1989–1996) === In 1989, Graham was featured in [[Gus Van Sant]]'s ''[[Drugstore Cowboy]]'' as Nadine, a young, drug-addicted accomplice of the two main characters (played by [[Matt Dillon]] and [[Kelly Lynch]]). Her performance gave her career an initial boost and earned her a nomination for the [[Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress]]. She rejected a steady role in a soap opera and a three-picture deal with a major studio because she thought it would be too restrictive.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lou|first=Linda|title=The more risks, the more rewards|url=http://159.54.226.237/99_issues/990808/990808graham.html|work=USA Weekend Magazine|access-date=December 2, 2012|archive-date=January 16, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140116131222/http://159.54.226.237/99_issues/990808/990808graham.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> After ''Drugstore Cowboy'', she appeared in [[Lawrence Kasdan]]'s dark comedy ''[[I Love You to Death]]'' (1990), alongside [[William Hurt]] and [[Keanu Reeves]], and the rock-and-roll coming-of-age film ''[[Shout (film)|Shout]]'' (1991), for which she received a nomination for the [[Young Artist Award]] for Best Actress Starring in a Motion Picture.
