She made a final appearance at the Royal Variety Show at the age of eighty in 1978. More recently, she starred as Mary Kelly in the film From Hell (2001), based on the story of Jack the Ripper. She did a great deal of charity work, and established a home on the island of Capri. She has publically discussed her conversion to a new-age eastern-based religion and philosophy.

She continued recording, but made no more films, moving more towards light classical music as popular tastes changed. Heather Graham is currently estranged from her parents, though they are hopeful for a reconciliation. After the war, Fields continued her career on a less active basis. She achieved international stardom in 1999 with her lead role as Felicity Shagwell in Mike Myers ' second Austin Powers comedy: The Spy who Shagged Me.. Although she spent much of her time entertaining troops and supporting the war effort outside Britain, this led to a fall-off in her popularity. Though earlier Graham had a number of critcally noted acting parts including Nadine in Drugstore Cowboy 1989, her breakthrough role was that of Roller Girl in Boogie Nights (1997), for which she received several award nominations. However because Banks remained an Italian citizen and would have been interned in the United Kingdom, Fields was forced to leave Britain during World War II. Heather moved to Hollywood where she worked different jobs while continuing to establish herself as a starlet.

In 1940 she married film director, Monte Banks, following her divorce from Pitt. After two years had passed, Heather dropped out of UCLA to pursue acting full time, over her parents objections. She went on to make films in both England and America. Their subsequent friendship led to Heather's being cast in Diggstown (1992) , which starred Woods. Her most famous song, which became her theme, Sally, was worked into the title of her first cinema film, Sally in Our Alley (1931), which was a major box-office hit. While pursuing a drama degree at UCLA, Heather met James Woods, the actor. Fields had a great rapport with her audience, which helped her become one of Britain's highest paid performers. After high school, Heather enrolled in the University of California at Los Angeles.

She gained a devoted following with a mixture of self-deprecating jokes, comic songs and monologues, as well as cheerful "depression-era" songs all presented in a "no-airs-and-graces" northern, working class style. This difference of opinion may have cost her the lead role in Heathers in 1989, the dark high school comedy that made an instant star of Winona Ryder. Fields came to major public notice at the Alhambra Theatre in London's West End in 1925, making the first of ten appearances in Royal Variety Shows in 1928. Later, her father and mother were insistent that she should not appear in any movie featuring sex. In 1915 she married struggling comic Archie Pitt, who became her manager.
