Behind the award
For playing Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy, Heigl took home the 2007 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Her name being called out brought an exclamation of "Sh*t!" that was censored.
Big break
In 1999, Heigl took the part of Isabel Evans, an alien-human hybrid, on the science fiction TV drama Roswell. She had tried out for each of the show's three female leads before being cast, and the other two went to Shiri Appleby and Majandra Delfino.
Early training
Heigl left New Canaan High School following her sophomore year, choosing to focus on building an acting career in Hollywood instead of finishing there.
