Katherine Heigl started off her career, not in films, but as a model for various brands. Heigl became a child model when she was a child, and she appeared nationwide in Cheerios ads. Then in 1992, she decided to start shifting into acting where she found the success she wanted.  Heigl’s first appearance on the silver screen was in the movie That Night and she later appeared in My Father the Hero.

Her breakthrough role was her portrayal of Isabel Evans on the hit sci-fi series Roswell, which earned her a couple of nominations including a Saturn and Teen Choice Awards. Few years after, she landed another significant role as Izzie Stevens on the medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. Later, her works include The Ugly Truth, Knocked Up, Life as We Know It. During the mid to late 2000s, she decided to step back a little from acting and tried her luck behind the scenes as a producer.
