Télé Star (France) - April 7 to April 13, 2001 List | 1 | 2

Katherine Heigl: The Alien Preferred by Teens

Télé Star: The French public discovered you in 1994 with the American remake of "My Father, The Hero" with Gerard Depardieu. Is it a good memory?

Katherine: Yes, of course. I was 14 when I auditioned, and there were 450 girls who wanted the part. When I see the movie on TV, I say to myself, "My God, I was so young, exasperating and bad!" Depardieu was incredibly patient with me!

Télé Star: What is your life like today?

Katherine: I don’t take drugs, I don’t smoke, I drink lots of water, go to bed at 10 pm every night, and wake up at 8 am to walk my dog. You see, it couldn’t be a quieter life! Really, you have no idea how boring I am!

Télé Star: What are your hobbies?

Katherine: I love to read, go to the movies, and write. Someday, I’d like to write a film and produce it. Otherwise, I knit: right now I’m making a baby blanket for my sister’s baby that she’s expecting. And when I’m having a good day, I do counted cross stitch. I told you, a quiet life!

Télé Star: What was your last big purchase?

Katherine: My car! My FIRST car! A Volvo C70. It’s mine!

Télé Star: And you drive….

Katherine: Fast! More than 70 mph. But don’t tell my mom!

Télé Star: You must like extreme sports then.

Katherine: Not really! That said, I’d like to try sky-diving or something like that. But you’ll never see me jump out of a plane. At least, not unless a script requires it. Because, paradoxically, in film I dream of doing stunts to rival Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible: 2".

Télé Star: Can you tell us what happens in the next episodes of "Roswell"?

Katherine: I know there will be lots happening next year. But I don’t know all the details. And in any case, I couldn’t tell you anything: we’re sworn to secrecy by our contracts!
