After having some unpleasant experiences with a sleazy criminal in England, Juliet returned to New York and graduated from college in 1972. Graham worked a nine to five office job that she was eventually fired from and secured a subsequent job as an editorial assistant producing books for Time Life. Juliet got involved in the 1970's swinging scene, which was how she met and started a relationship with porn actor Ashley Moore. Moore invited Graham to a hardcore film shoot where she met Jamie Gillis, who she also wound up having a relationship with. Gillis convinced Juliet to perform in her first X-rated feature Oriental Blue (1975). In the wake of splitting up with Moore, Graham lived with Gillis for a few years and went on to appear in a handful of additional hardcore movies while still working at her office day job that she was once again eventually fired from. Undaunted, Juliet became a professional model, did some theater work, and even appeared as an extra in a slew of mainstream films. More recently Graham has been working on her memoirs.
