Katherine Heigl "Sexiness Hall Of Fame"

Biography

Katherine Heigl was born November 24, 1978, in Washington D.C., to parents Paul and Nancy. Raised in New Canaan, Connecticut, along with her two older brothers and older sister, Katherine Heigl's time in the spotlight began when she started modeling.

Katherine Heigl's sex appeal level was the subject of much discussion at AskMen.com. We wanted to approach her with the idea of our "Babe Thermometer," but we quickly figured out that the idea would get shot down in a heartbeat when we suggested where the thermometer should be placed.



So we resigned ourselves to a more primitive sex appeal test; how long it would take before male staffers made a comment about a) her anatomy or, b) what they would "do" to her. Needless to say, about two seconds elapsed before a comment was made, which easily qualified Katherine Heigl for the Sexiness Hall Of Fame.

Though her filmography is longer than you'd expect for someone her age (she's been appearing in films since the age of 12), Katherine Heigl's role in Roswell introduced her to Generation Y.

Katherine Heigl is a model

Once Wilhelmina, a modeling agency, got hold of photos of a then 9-year-old Katherine Heigl, it didn't take long for her to get modeling jobs. She appeared in magazine ads and a Sears catalogue, and made her television debut with a role in a Cheerios commercial.

Modeling paved the way to acting for Katherine Heigl, as it did for young actresses such as Rachael Leigh Cook and Mena Suvari. By the age of 12, she could be seen on the silver screen in the 1992 film That Night, making her feature film debut.
This generation matured since the end of Roswell in 2000 and developed more mature tastes in TV shows, and luckily for them, so did Katherine Heigl. She reappeared for her grown-up fans in the Golden Globe-winning hospital drama Grey's Anatomy and fun flicks like Knocked Up (2007) and 27 Dresses (2008).
