Who knew rejection could actually turn out to be a good thing?

Well, that was definitely the case for Heigl’s career!

Did you know?

Katherine auditioned for roles on the TV series “Alias” and “Felicity”.  After being rejected from both, she felt discouraged and almost quit acting, until she landed the career-turning role as Izzie Stevens in “Grey’s Anatomy”.

She made her film debut in the 1992 coming-of-age drama film, “That Night”.  Her first lead role came when she was cast in the 1994 comedy film “My Father The Hero”. 

After starring in several films, including “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory” and “Wish Upon a Star”, Katherine set her sights on television. She played Isabel Evans in the sci-fi drama series, “Roswell”. 

Katherine continued to act in various television movies, notably “Love Comes Softly” and its sequel, “Love’s Enduring Promise”, as Isabella Linton in MTV’s version of “Wuthering Heights”, and “Romy and Michele: In the Beginning”. 

And then came her big break. 

In 2005, Katherine was cast in what was to be her breakout role in the smash hit medical TV series, “Grey’s Anatomy”. Heigl’s role as medical intern Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens made her a popular TV female star, earning her recognition and many accolades, including a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Heigl won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress for the role.

But her television success didn’t instantly translate into box-office success. 

The following year, her film “Zyzzyx Road” was released. It has been cited as the lowest-grossing film in U.S. history, making only $30 at its opening run.

It didn’t take long before Katherine had her successful transition to film though…

In 2007, Katherine made her major film debut in the Judd Apatow romantic comedy film “Knocked Up”, co-starring Seth Rogen.

The film’s success had a huge effect on Katherine’s career, transforming her into Hollywood’s newest “It girl”.

Her newfound A-list status also meant she can now command higher fees. 

She earned $6 million for both “27 Dresses” and her follow-up “The Ugly Truth”. Her salary increased to $12 million for her next films “Killers” and “Life As We Know it”, making her one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.

In 2008, Katherine declined Emmy consideration for her work on “Grey’s Anatomy” 2008-2009 season, leading to speculation that she would be leaving “Grey’s Anatomy”. The other contributing factor was her dislike for the direction of her character’s arc. She left the show in 2010 to focus on her family. 

The next three years saw Katherine starring in a string of romantic comedies, such as “New Year’s Eve”, “One For the Money”, and “The Big Wedding”. 

2014 marked her breakaway from romantic comedies, choosing to do other genres instead.  Heigl appeared in the romantic drama “Jackie & Ryan” and the dark comedy “Home Sweet Hell”. She also did voiceover work for the animated “The Nut Job”. 

As well as branching out in various genres, she also made her television comeback.

Heigl starred in the shows “State of Affairs” and “Doubt”; she was the executive producer for the former.

After appearing in shows with lackluster ratings, Katherine started returning to form with a successful turn as Samantha Wheeler in the last 2 seasons of popular legal drama “Suits”. 

In 2021, she co-produced and played the lead role in the Netflix series “Firefly Lane”. It’s renewed for a second season, set to be released in 2022.

Aside from her work on film and TV, Heigl is also known for her classic, all-American beauty. The blonde stunner has been featured in many magazines such as Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, and Maxim.

She was ranked #19 in FHM’s Sexiest Women in the World in 2006 and was declared the Most Desirable Woman of 2008 by AskMen.com.
