All Top Hollywood Celebrities

Katherine Marie Heigl (b. November 24 1978) was born in Washington D.C, USA on the 24th of November 1978 to parents Nancy and Paul. A short time afterwards, the Heigl 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 known affectionately, has two elder siblings, John and Meg. Tragically, her older brother Jason died in 1986 of brain injuries suffered in a car accident, after being thrown from the back of a pickup truck. When doctors determined Jason was brain-dead, the family made the difficult decision to donate his organs. Not only did this painful chapter give Katherine a greater perspective and appreciation for life, but it has motivated her to use her celebrity status to promote the importance of organ donation.
Bug Buster" (1998) and "Bride of Chucky" (1998) represented a venture into the horror genre for Katherine. While both films could be described as rather tongue-in-cheek despite their gory emphases, "Bride of Chucky" was the better received, both critically and commercially. In 1999, Katherine decided to venture into the world of series television when she accepted the role of the haughty yet vulnerable Isabel Evans on "Roswell", a show which blended teen angst with sci-fi drama. Though she had never planned to embark on a career in television, the role of Isabel, a teenager with a secret life, was an offer Katherine found impossible to refuse. For three seasons, through a change of network (from The WB to UPN) and a change of hairstyle and color (long and blonde to short and brunette), Katherine continued to portray Isabel with a sensitivity and understanding that often transcended the show's writing. Though she was woefully underused during Roswell's first season, Katherine's role was expanded in the second and third season to take advantage of her extraordinary talents.
In October 2003, Katherine was cast opposite Johnny Knoxville, as the female lead in 'The Ringer'. Shot in Austin, Texas and directed by Barry Blaustein, the Farrelly brothers' comedy sees Katherine portray Lynn, a beautiful Special Olympics volunteer and the love interest of Knoxvilles' character Jimmy. In her personal life, Katherine has been happily dating her former Roswell co-star, Jason Behr, for several years.
