Graff was born in Brooklyn, New York City, and is a graduate of Wagner College. She is a cousin of actors Todd Graff[1] and Ilene Graff.
Graff has been in feature films such as Keys to Tulsa and Rent as well as being in television shows such as NBC's Law & Order a number of times. In addition to film and television, Graff has been in several Broadway shows.
She originated the role of Fantine in the musical Les Misérables when the production opened on Broadway in 1987, which included "I Dreamed a Dream", also on the soundtrack released in 1990.[2]
According to Graff, she was the first person to sing "I Dreamed a Dream" in the U.S., which is not entirely true. Patti LuPone sang it on The Joan Rivers Show shortly before the show opened in New York.[3] She has also appeared in Broadway revivals of the musicals Damn Yankees and Fiddler on the Roof.
Graff teaches at the Manhattan School of Music.[4]
