She trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, having previously worked as a dancer, making her professional debut aged 13 with the Carl Rosa Opera Company. After early acting experience in repertory theatre, Graham played Mary Ellen in Meet Me by Moonlight in the West End, and an excerpt from this on the BBC's Theatre Night became her TV debut, in 1957. Her big break, however, came three years later when she played Mary Bewick in the television series A House Called Bell Tower.
From 1962 to 1963 she played Maggie Clifford in 63 episodes of the TV series Compact. In 1966 she appeared in six episodes of Foreign Affairs as Irinka.

In 1978 she began the recurring role of the cat-obsessed Mrs Bond in All Creatures Great and Small. She appeared three times in the series' original run (1978–80), and once in its 1988–90 revival.
In 1984 she appeared as Ethel Ledbetter in 32 episodes of the series One by One. In 1995 Graham began the role of Evgenia in London's Burning for 27 episodes.

Grammy Awards
In similar fashion to their film equivalent (The Academy Awards), The Grammys is an awards show that honors the achievements of the members of the professional music recording industry through a voting system. The members of the Recording Academy vote on who they think is most deserving of an award in 108 categories as specified by the academy. Each year the awards are presented during a live telecast that was begun in 1971 by ABC, but has since been televised by CBS after they bought it in 1973. They were initially known as the Gramophone Awards this is because the trophy itself is a golden gramophone but later they became the Grammys.
