TORONTO -- Heather Graham is game to get groovy in the next Austin Powers movie -- on one condition.

"I said as long as they don't blow me up, I'm interested in showing up again," says the actress who played CIA Agent Felicity Shagwell "by name, shag-very-well by reputation" in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Being a past Powers playmate can be cause for concern. Elizabeth Hurley, Power's main squeeze in the original spy spoof, turned out to be a fembot in the sequel. Then her head blew off.

If Austin Powers In Goldmember, to film this year for release next summer, sticks to pattern, Felicity will be sidelined to make room for a new babelicious partner for Powers (Mike Myers).

"Hopefully I can go out in some flashy fun way," Graham says. "I'm not going to perish. I'm not going back to it if it means perishing."

Graham hasn't yet read the script but has heard Goldmember will be set in the 1970s and Power's new love match will be a black woman with a big afro.
