| Katie/Izzie #12 ~ Because she's our shining star Welcome to the 12th Izzie/Katie APPRECIATION THREAD  Credit to Lee  Credit to tiggerngoldilocks  Credit to Lycanthropist  Credit to Tahra   Credit to JustTheArts  Credit to *Miranda* Biography "Katherine Marie Heigl was born in Washington, DC, on November 24, 1978, to Nancy and Paul Heigl. A short time afterwards 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. 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 he 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 motivated her to use her celebrity to promote the importance of organ donation. 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 her niece, then aged nine, in a series of poses to advertise a hair care product she had invented. Upon returning to New York, and with permission from Katherine's parents, she sent the photos to a number of modelling agencies. Within a few weeks Katherine had been signed to Wilhelmina, a renowned international modelling 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. Following a number of commercials and modelling assignments for Sears and Lord & Taylor, she made her big-screen debut in That Night (1992), which starred Juliette Lewis and C. Thomas Howell. It was then that she realized that acting rather than modelling was her passion. In 1993, Katherine appeared in Steven Soderbergh's critically acclaimed Depression-era drama King of the Hill (1993), before landing her first leading role as a rebellious teenager alongside Gérard Depardieu in My Father the Hero (1994). During this time, Katherine continued to attend New Canaan High School, balancing her academic studies with work on films and modelling, which she undertook during holidays, vacations and weekends. In 1995 she played Sarah Ryback, the niece of Steven Seagal's character, in Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995), which represented her first "action genre" film. Acting was now becoming a stronger focus for Katherine, although she still modelled extensively, appearing regularly in magazines such as "Seventeen". Television appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (1992) and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993) soon followed, before she took the lead role in Disney's Wish Upon a Star (1996) in 1996. It was also during that year that Katherine's parents divorced, and following her graduation from high school in 1997, she moved with her mother into a four-bedroom house in Los Angeles' Malibu Canyon area. This enabled her to focus upon acting with the guidance and support of her mother, who now managed her career. In 1997 Katherine portrayed Taffy Entwhistle, Rita Hayworth's stand-in, in the movie Stand-ins (1997), and was also cast as the beauteous Princess Ilene in the European production Prince Valiant (1997). Katherine then made her debut in made-for-television films, co-starring with Peter Fonda in a re-working of the classic Shakespearean play The Tempest (1998) (TV), updated with an American Civil War theme. This film saw her take on the role of Miranda Prosper, a young woman torn between her love for her father and that for a Union soldier. 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 branch out into series television when she accepted the role of the haughty yet vulnerable Isabel Evans on "Roswell" (1999), a show that 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 she found impossible to refuse. In the series, Isabel, her brother Max (Jason Behr) and their friend Michael (Brendan Fehr) are aliens passing as humans in Roswell, New Mexico, as they desperately try to hide the truth from government agencies, the people of Roswell, and even their own adopted families. To publicize her role on "Roswell", Katherine graced the covers of magazines such as "TV Guide", "Maxim" and "Teen", and was interviewed on "Later with Cynthia Garrett" (1994) and "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn" (1999). Along with her mother Nancy, she also appeared in an episode of the Sci-Fi TV talk show "Crossing Over with John Edward" (1999), during which she spoke with John Edward, a psychic medium, about her late brother, Jason. During the three years "Roswell" was in production, Katherine found time to work on several movies. 100 Girls (2000), an independent film released in 2001, is the story of a college freshman who meets the girl of his dreams in an elevator during a blackout, who spends the rest of the movie trying to find her again. Her cameo role is that of Arlene, the competitive tomboy. The second film, Valentine (2001), a horror film starring David Boreanaz and Denise Richards, appeared in U.S. theatres on February 2, 2001. In this movie, which is based upon the 1996 novel by Tom Savage, Katherine plays Shelley, a medical student who meets a sudden demise. In the spring of 2001 Katherine accepted a role in NBC's Critical Assembly (2003) (TV), a two-hour, original television thriller. Katherine and Kerr Smith ("Dawson's Creek" (1998)) co-starred as brilliant and politically concerned college students who build a nuclear device to illustrate the need for a change in national priorities, but are betrayed by a fellow student when the bomb ends up in the hands of a terrorist. Unfortunately, the telefilm, directed by Eric Laneuville, written by Tom Vaughan and based on the best-seller "The Seventh Power," by James Mills was shelved when its storyline was deemed too close for comfort to the events of September 11, 2001. It was eventually broadcast in 2003. Since the cancellation of "Roswell" in the spring of 2002, Katherine has been busy with various projects, including an appearance on UPN's update of the classic television series, "The Twilight Zone" (2002). That episode, entitled "Cradle of Darkness", aired October 2, 2002, and featured Katherine in the role of a woman who goes back in time to stop one of the most notorious murders in history. In addition, she completed a movie, Descendant (2003), a psychological thriller inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher." Katherine has also starred as Romy in ABC/Touchstone's two-hour telepic Romy and Michele: In the Beginning (2005) (TV), a prequel to the 1997 feature Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997). During the summer of 2002, Katherine made a major decision in the direction of her career when she signed on for representation in all areas with the William Morris Agency, one of the biggest and most prestigious agencies in the entertainment industry. She is now being represented by Norman Aladjem at Paradigm Agency and being managed by Nancy Heigl and Stephanie Simon and Jason Newman at Untitled Entertainment." -Courtesy of Tahra and Lee and Katherine Heigl Fan- _Katie/Izzie fans  _1._virgo_ (Aroa) 2.Robotica (Christy) 3.Jason's Lover4life 4.Ngatiara 5.Sternbetrachter 6.wanderer78 (Pia) 7.gg_all_da_way 8.angelface211 9.DreamWalker (Mel) 10.Kiara99 11.ComeAwayWithMe 12.Callalily 13.Scare Queen 14.LukaAbbyLover 15.Gina Potter 16.jamiedianne 17.Beatriz (Beatriz) 18.furry_logic 19.cntbdenied 20.Cool Girl 21.Kate1991 22.Merlin_Bodhi 23.cveTenceTo 24.Onerva 25.Toscane 26.LaBelleVie 27.Something Dramatic 28.MusicofNight07 29.luv2lobu 30.Merlin_Bodhi 31.IsabelAmandaEvans 32.qtdramachickee72 33.Christian'sKimberDoll 34.MondaysWednesdaysFridays 35.cablenathan 36.Bambi_ 37.BrucasForever<3 38.Ana Luthor 39.SaraHanah 40.Elya 41.Holly1985 42.ame3 43.Lovely Lauren 44.~ZoRi~ 45.infinite memory 46.KerBear 47.Pauli_Abby 48.maryamm5 49.TrueloveGeorgeCallie 50.TheMovieGrrl 51.cranny4eva 52.ClaireLS 53.girl.inthewar 54.*Jenn* 55.jahnnabanana 56.MerDerFan24 57.agentcmk 58.toxxic 59.martystel 60.cranny4eva 61.msqueenbea 62.miss_spargo 63.josebajm 64.LALEY-FOREVER 65.Lennie1984 66.mariem201 67.dizzie_forever 68.Twiggy Ramirez 69.K.Corinne 70.LoVe-Story 71.True Daisy lover 72.sohoblue123 73.mekemma 74.Kiwi-GA-fan 75.leasp -If you want to add something or you want to be added to the list, tell me!!
