Model-turned-actress Katherine Heigh first attracted the public's attention when she portrayed Gerard Depardieu's disobedient daughter Nicole in the remake of the French film My Father, the Hero (1994). She also gained notice for playing Steven Seagal's niece Sarah Ryback in the blockbuster hit Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995). On the small screen, the American actress gained worldwide fame after a regular role as the arrogant but defenseless Isabel Evans in the teen sci-fi drama Roswell (1999-2002). After the series, Heigl received more awareness for playing roles in such TV movies as Love Comes Softly (2003), Wuthering Heights (2003), Love's Enduring Promise (2004) and playing Dr. Stevens in the series Grey's Anatomy (2005).
Off screen, and in memory of her late brother's organ donation, Heigh helps promote the importance of organ donation. Being asked about her activity, she said, "It's hard for people to be thinking about organ donation for the first time in the midst of crisis. But organ donation is the most honorable way to preserve the memory of someone you love. I learned through difficult experience that this is the right and humanitarian thing to do. The need is always out there. Make sure the people around you know your feelings on organ donation, so your loved ones can fulfill those wishes without any doubt."
As for her private life, the green-eyed, blonde-haired beauty was previously linked to Blossom actor Joey Lawrence (met at Seventeen magazine's 50th Birthday celebration in 1994), but the relationship only lasted three months. Commenting about her brief romance, Heigh said," I was on the East Coast. He was in L.A. It was mostly over the phone."
