Heather Graham Thinks All Women Should Become Strippers

Heather Graham, who plays a stripper in today's new Vegas comedy The Hangover, thinks all women should take stripping lessons, because it's "inspiring."

Graham, who shot to fame with Swingers and Boogie Nights, in which she co-starred as porn star Rollergirl, says that she was taking a female empowerment class when a guest speaker convinced her to take classes in the art of the tease:

Sheila Kelley came in.... I had actually taken her classes because my friend taught one of them. She worked at the Mayor's office and quit her job to become a pole dancing instructor.

"For this film I went back and took some refresher courses. It's a dance class but they teach you pole dancing moves and it reminded me how great it is... It's for any kind of woman, women of all different ages and sizes.

"As a woman, it's inspiring because any woman can feel sexy and you're cheering each other on. You're not doing it for like, 'Oh, just give me a tip.' Usually people wear shorts and a tank top or a bra.... You're doing it to feel good about yourself and see other women feel good about themselves."
