LA Life - Katherine
Heigl
"Roswell" beauty Katherine Heigl, who's 21, stresses she has no plans to move
away from the home she shares with her mother to try life on her own. She says that such
an attitude surprises some people, but she wants us to know, "My mother has created
an amazing environment for me. I simply don't want to leave."
She did leave home recently for a three-week visit with her father, who resides in
Virginia, and her sister, who remains a resident of Katherine's native Connecticut. But,
she says, "It was too long." She was anxious to get back to her mom and home in
the rural area of L.A.'s Malibu Canyon. She says of their relationship, "We get along
so well and have such a good time, I'd be stupid to move out. Besides, she provides the
really great support one needs in Hollywood, which can be a terrifying place. You're not
only competing with so many people, but facing constant rejection, and it's hard to know
who is on your side and who just wants to use you. It can be a very lonely place."
