She began her career in The Parent Trap alongside Lindsay Lohan, this past spring was seen paling around with Zac Efron in 17 Again, and every Thursday night at 8pm Graham appears as a cast regular on the hottest new fall show, Vampire Diaries.

Taking on the role of Bonnie Bennett, Graham plays the best friend of Elena Gilbert who is being seduced by the dark and mysterious world of vampires. Bonnie has her excitement, she is convinced that she is psychic, and has the daunting task of seeing the future of her small town.

PopStar: Give us all the juicy details about your character Bonnie Bennett.

Katerina Graham: I play Bonnie Bennett in the show. Bonnie Bennett is psychic and she is also Elena Gilbert’s best friend, they grew up together. She has this foreboding energy about her, in the beginning it is about little intuitions and senses things which I think is so amazing. They are giving her this gift right when vampires come to town. She knows that something is wrong but she can’t put her finger on it. Throughout the show, her powers grow and she actually gets put to the test on a couple of things. It is a great character; she has this hippie style, very fun, innocent and very fun to play.

PopStar: Before the show, had you read L.J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries?

Katerina Graham: Oh yeah, I have. L.J. Smith’s Vampire Diaries was a book written a long time ago before Twilight, True Blood, and all those shows came out. I love it, I think it is a great book; my character has been changed a little bit. As has Elena’s character, many last names, the ethnicity, the hair color, and The Eye color.
