Katherine Heigl
Before playing her character Izzie Stevens, an ex-model turned doctor on the hit show “Grey’s Anatomy”, actress Katherine Heigl had started a modeling career in real life.
At the age of ten, she was already earning $75 an hour working with Wilhelmina Models, posing on magazine covers and for Sears and Lord & Taylor catalogs. She even starred in a television commercial for Cheerios cereal and also posed during photo shoots for Macy’s, JC Penney and Scoop.
At sixteen, Katherine Heigl was also on the cover of the popular youth-oriented magazine Seventeen; she had already entered Hollywood long before she starred in “Grey’s Anatomy,” “27 Dresses” and “The Ugly Truth,” and became the well-known and popular actress she is today.
