NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
The FDNY put out a fire inside a penthouse apartment belonging to actress Heather Graham inn Union Square Saturday night.

The 42-year-old actress Graham rushed back to the 2,000-square-foot apartment after the fire was put out. Graham has starred in movies such as "Boogie Nights," "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "The Hangover."
