Katherine Heigl, the va-va-voom blonde member of a teenagers-from-space trio on the WB series Roswell, is the kind of woman who makes alien colonization of Earth seem like a damn fine idea. Of course, it helps that when she shows up for lunch at a San Fernando Valley cantina, she has accessorized her curvaceous 5'8" frame with formfitting white jeans and a sleeveless pink sweater instead of tentacles and antennae. Katherine’s actual home planet is a green, clean place called New Canaan, Connecticut, where she was a

child model before turning to acting in her teens, starring in movies with fellow suspected space aliens Gérard Depardieu (My Father the Hero) and Steven Seagal (Under Siege 2). More recently she was the umpteenth person to attempt to kill off a certain satanic doll in the 1998 horror hit Bride of Chucky.
