Comments 0
Katherine Marie Heigl (born November 24, 1978) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her roles on the TV series Roswell and Grey’s Anatomy.
Heigl was born in Washington, D.C. to Paul Heigl (a German American accountant) and Nancy (an Irish American); she was raised a Mormon. A few years after Heigl’s birth, the family moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where her older brother, Jason, died in 1986 of injuries suffered in a car accident. Despite their grief, the family decided to donate Jason’s organs, which motivated Katherine to become a strong proponent of organ donation.
