| Katherine Heigl has had an outstanding year. Her role on Grey's Anatomy garnered her an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She also starred in the box-office hit Knocked Up, was interviewed by journalist Barbara Walters as one of her "10 Most Fascinating People of 2007," and married singer Josh Kelley. A former model, Katherine Heigl is beautiful, well-spoken, humorous, talented... the list goes on. We look forward to seeing her in the upcoming 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth. Katherine Marie Heigl was born in Washington, DC, on November 24, 1978, to Nancy and Paul Heigl. A short time afterward, the family moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where Katherine was to spend the majority of her childhood; the youngest member of her family, Katherine--or "Katie" as she is nicknamed--has two elder siblings, John and Meg. Katherine was first thrust into the limelight as a child model. An aunt, visiting the family in New Canaan, took a number of photographs of Katherine, then aged nine, in a series of poses to advertise a hair care product she had invented. Upon returning to New York, with permission from Katherine's parents, she sent the photos to a number of modeling agencies. Within a few weeks Katherine had been signed to Wilhelmina, a renowned international modeling agency. Almost immediately she made her debut in a magazine advertisement and soon followed this with an inaugural television appearance in a national commercial for Cheerios breakfast cereal.
