Isabel Evans--Katherine Heigl
Born November 24, 1978, Katherine Heigl got her first camera time at the age of nine as a child model in New Canaan, Connecticut, her hometown. By her 12th birthday, she had made her feature film debut in "That Night," with Juliette Lewis. By 14 she had had several major roles, including her breakthrough role, the rebellious teenager determined to grow up too fast in the Gerard Depardieu comedy "My Father, the Hero."
Katherine just finished a new independent film called "100 Girls," about a college boy who meets a girl in an elevator during a blackout, later trying to find her although he doesn't know what she looks like. In 1998 Katherine starred in the fourth installment of the cult-hit "Child’s Play" series, "The Bride of Chucky." Her credit list also includes a co-starring role in "King of the Hill," director Steven Soderbergh’s depression-era opus. She dipped into the action genre as Steven Segal’s kidnapped niece in "Under Siege 2," and was featured in "Prince Valiant" and the comedy "Wish Upon A Star."
Heigl has also starred on the small screen, appearing opposite Peter Fonda in the Shakespeare-as-Civil-War-period-piece drama "The Tempest." She played the critical role of 16-year-old Miranda, who is torn between her devotion to her father and her love for a Union soldier.
Heigl continued to live and attend school in New England until her high school graduation, when she moved to Los Angeles to dedicate herself to being a full-time actor.
