Graf was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas.[1] From an early age she aspired to be an actress, and began performing in local theater at the age of five or six years old, a goal fostered by her parents.[2] Graf attended Ray High School and the University of Texas at Austin where she majored in theater arts.[1]
Graf relocated from Austin to Los Angeles and began auditioning for TV and film parts. Early roles included small parts in TV series 90210 and the Comedy Central series Workaholics.[1] She also acted in the films Savage County;[3] the 2015 continuation film of the series Entourage;[1] and The Amityville Murders, the true story of the mass murder antecedent to the alleged supernatural events of The Amityville Horror.[4]
In 2018, Graf was cast in the Netflix biopic The Dirt, as 80s TV star Heather Locklear, then-wife of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.[5] The Dirt received mixed reviews from the critics but was one of the top audience-rated films of 2019 on Rotten Tomatoes.[6] Graf's subsequent roles have included a lead in the film Capsized: Blood in the Water, a survival film based on the true story of a yacht crew stranded in shark-infested waters;[7] and a guest role on highly regarded Netflix dramatic comedy series The Kominsky Method.
In 2021, Graf was cast in The CW series Walker starring Jared Padalecki, a reboot of the 1993–2001 television series Walker, Texas Ranger, as Crystal.[8] She had been cast in a recurring role as Tara Locke, the mother of Kyle Abbott's (Michael Mealor) son on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, but had to be replaced due to a resulting scheduling conflict with Walker's shooting.[9]
