Welcome to The Katherine Heigl Picture Pages!
You may remember this green-eyed blonde from her
breakthrough movie, the 1994 romantic comedy, My Father,
the Hero. Katherine was the rebellious daughter who had
to deal with her overprotective father while on
vacation. You can now catch Katherine as a sexy alien in
the WB hit, Roswell.
Katherine Heigl was born November 24, 1978, in
Washington D.C., to parents Paul and Nancy. Raised in
New Canaan, Connecticut, along with her 2 older brothers
and older sister, Katherine's time in the spotlight
began when she started modeling. Modeling paved the way
to acting for Katherine, as it did for young actresses
such as Rachael Leigh Cook and Mena Suvari. By the age
of 12, she could be seen on the silver screen in the
1992 film, That Night, making her feature film debut.
Katherine only pursued a full-time acting career after
graduating from New Canaan High School, where she
balanced acting and modeling with the hectic life of a
student. With appearances in Seventeen magazine and film
and television roles under her belt, Katherine moved to
the hub of acting to further her career.
Once in LA, she starred in independent films such as
Prince Valiant, Stand-Ins (as Rita Hayworth's stand-in)
and the Disney feature, Wish Upon a Star. After a role
in the 1998 Bride of Chucky, the latest installment of
the Chucky slasher series, and the film Bug Buster,
Katherine starred opposite Peter Fonda in the
made-for-TV film, The Tempest.
Presently making herself comfortable on television,
Katherine is a regular on Roswell, the hit alien series
on the WB network. She actually auditioned for the three
female lead roles before winning the role of Isabel, the
"alien on earth" character she portrays on the show.
With a hit show on a popular network, and upcoming roles
in two feature films, fame and success is certainly not
something alien to this sexy actress.
