Katherine Heigl is amazing! That is all I have to say. ...Continue »
I am debating whether she is going to get killed off greys anatomy or not. I really hope she doesnt. I heard she wants to get killed off because she wants to play in more movies rather than tv shows. I like to watch her movies but honestly I like Greys Anatomy so much more. I guess it would make since that she wants to get killed off because she has been acting really strange lately. Like forgetting where she put the scissors she was using and that part at the end of the episode(I wont get anymore specific so I dont give any more away.)

To me, Katherine Heigl is a very talented actress. I fist saw her on "Wish Upon A Star" and fell in love with here acting.I started watching Grey's Anatomy and immediatly Izzie became my favorite character. Now they are in the 5th season and rumors of Izzie's departure have been denied by Shonda Rhimes, so that makes me happy. I like 27 dresses and knocked up both of which she starts. She is by far one of my favorites, along side Sophia Bush, Eva Longoria Parker, Danneel Harris, Beverly Mitchel, and Holly Marie Combs. So I definantly look forward to Katherine's future films and TV series.

She's become the only reason that I watch Grey's Anatomy anymore! ...Continue »
Grey's Anatomy was very good in the beginning but it has gone down a very boring path will all the MerDer "drama"! Note to the writers, we just don't care anymore and McDreamy is getting way to smug! Last season was just terrible and KEtherine was right to take herself out of Emmy contention because the writer's needed a wake up call! The only reason I'm watching anymore is with the hope that the writer's will wake up and give Izzy better stories! She also totally has the best style of anyone on the Red Carpet at the moment- that red dress was just gorgeous!!

One of the prettiest and talented actresses i've ever seen. ...Continue »
I first saw Katherine in Grey's Anatomy and I thought she was a gorgeous and talented actress, just by the first episode! I particularly loved the scene, in which Denny has died and she got on the bed with him. It showed me, her great emotion and passion in her acting and how she can act in literally any type of situation, and pull it off perfectly. I also saw her in Knocked Up, which I though was fantastic.
From all of the interviews I have seen of her, she seems to have a wonderful personality.

She has perfect acting skills and I can't wait for her to become a bigger star.

Katherine Heigl in my opinion is great in everything that she takes apart of. I first seen her when I started to watch Grey's Anatomy, I loved her character and thought they pick someone who did a great job in doing that. Katherine Heigl has also been on some movies that I like, such as The Ringer. In that movie she was portraying someone different from Grey's Anatomy and I thought she did a fantastic job. Also she played a funny charcter in Knocked Up. Katherine is such a great person, and I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about her. I can't wait until she puts something else out.
