Katherine Marie Heigl
Katherine Marie Heigl was born in West End, Washington, D.C.,
at Columbia Hospital for Womenon.
November 24, 1978. She is the youngest of four children of Nancy, a personnel
manager, and Paul Heigl, a financial executive and accountant. Her father
is of German (including
Swiss-German) and Irish descent, and
her mother is of German ancestry. Heigl was
raised in The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her siblings are Meg,
Jason (deceased), and Holt. Heigl lived in Virginia and then Denver, before her family settled in Connecticut; there, they moved into a large, old
Victorian-style farmhouse in the wealthy town of New Canaan, where she
spent most of her childhood.
In 1986, her older brother Jason died of injuries suffered in a car
accident, after being thrown from the back of a pickup truck while out for
lunch with some of his high school classmates. Following his death, the family
decided to donate his organs. Heigl was unnerved by this at the time, but
later became a strong proponent of organ donation, working as a spokesperson for Donate Life
America.
She is an American actress and film producer. She is possibly best
known for her role as Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens on ABC'smedical drama Grey's Anatomy from 2005 to 2010, for which she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in
2007. She has also starred in films such as Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, Knocked Up, 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth, Killers, Life As We Know It and New Year's Eve, among
others.
Heigl started her career as a child model with Wilhelmina Models before she turned her attention to
acting. She made her debut in the coming-of-age film That Night. Heigl co-starred as Isabel Evans in the television series Roswell and movies
including My Father the Hero before
landing her break-out role in Grey's Anatomy. Heigl has established herself as a cover model
appearing on numerous publications including Maxim, Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan. Heigl
is married to singer Josh Kelley, with whom she has two adopted
daughters.
