What the Hell Happened to Mike Myers + Heather Graham?

The next year, Myers returned to Austin Powers for the sequel, The Spy Who Shagged Me. The sequel traded in co-star Elizabeth Hurley for 90′s it-girl, Heather Graham.

Whereas the first Austin Powers was a modest hit with a devoted cult following, the sequel was a box office smash. The reviews were still mostly positive, but noted that Spy was basically a retread. Audiences who saw the first film on video came out to the theaters for the sequel.

In 1999, Graham finally had her big year. Although, in retrospect, it wasn’t as big of a year as I remembered.

First, she appeared in the Austin Powers sequel, The Spy Who Shagged Me. The first Austin Powers film was a modest hit that attracted a larger following on video. The sequel brought the franchise to the masses. It wasn’t nearly as fresh or funny as the original. But it was a huge hit that saturated pop culture for years.

But as big as The Spy Who Shagged Me was, there was no mistaking the fact that it was Mike Myers movie. He played multiple roles and kept all the good lines for himself. Graham did little more than wear short skirts.

Even Mini-Me upstaged her.

Goldmember wasn't as good as the first two, and he made the mistake of being in the cinematic abortion of Cat In The Hat.

Son, you got a panty on your head.

Mike made THE LOVE GURU. Heather simply isn't a very good actress.
