The Grey’s Anatomy star graces the cover of the new January Vanity Fair issue looking beautiful as a retro glam girl. Sporting creamy skin, gorgeous sculpted waves, crimson lips, and Katharine Heigl her signature brown eyes, Katherine looks elegant, feminine, and sophisticated.
In the issue Kathrine discusses her views of the movie ’Knocked Up’ being “a little sexist.” She says, “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys.” In the film, Heigl played Alison, a young career-oriented woman who finds herself derailed by a one-night stand that results in pregnancy… with a goofy slacker she would not have looked at twice in a less inebriated mood.
Although “ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience,” the 29-year-old actress says, “it was hard for me to love the movie.”
Kathrine not only had problems playing that character, but she also is stuggling with her Grey’s Anatomy character, Izzie. This season’s plot on “Grey’s Anatomy,” Dr. Izzie Stevens begin an affair with her married friend Dr. George O’Malley (T. R. Knight). “I don’t really know Izzie very well right now,” she admits. “(The affair) was kind of a big change for Izzie, wasn’t it, after she was so up on her moral high ground . . . I have a really hard time with that kind of thing . . . I’m trying to figure her out and keep her real.”
In her real life, Kathrine gushes about her fiance, musican Josh Kelly. She confesses their relationship abides to certain moral principles. “I didn’t want to live together before we were married. I still have enough Mormon in me - not a lot, but enough - that I wanted to keep that little bit sacred.”
She also confesses that she did things differently with Kelly, taking chances, making things workout for the better. She says, “I’m not really a first-move kind of gal. I’m one of those women who always thinks it’s better to play it cool and keep them wanting more, but I really threw myself at him. I broke all the rules.” This does not keep her from considering marriage a “crapshoot.”
“The odds are really bad, especially in this town. But I have a lot of faith in Josh, and I wanted to have that one day when I stand in front of my friends and my family and honor him and how important he is in my life. My career is really important to me, but there have to be other great, important things in your life besides work.”
