Executive summary: Isobel Stevens on Grey's Anatomy Heigl began her professional career as a model when she was nine years old, and ate Cheerios in a nationally-aired TV commercial at ten. She was eleven when she appeared in her first movie, That Night with Juliette Lewis and a pre-adolescent Eliza Dushku. At 15, Heigl starred in My Father, the Hero, as Gerard Depardieu's teenaged daughter who pretended to be his lover. She was a guest on Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno's shows while she was still in high school, and in a frank moment at 22 she described her teenage self as "snobby".
She produced and starred in the low-budget pharmaceutical comedy Side Effects, and she has appeared in more than a dozen films, including The Ringer with Johnny Knoxville and Knocked Up with Seth Rogen. Most of her films have been duds, though, and she is much better known for her small screen work. From 2005-10 she played medical student Isobel Stevens on Grey's Anatomy. Earlier, she had played the space alien Isabel Evans, who inserted herself into other people's dreams in Roswell.
Her older brother was killed in a car accident in 1986, and through their grief the family decided to donate his heart, kidneys and eyes for transplants to others. She has been an outspoken advocate for organ donation ever since. In 2001, Heigl and her mother/manager appeared on Crossing Over with John Edward, and the paranormalist claimed to make contact with the spirit of Heigl's dead brother. Heigl and her mother seemed less than completely convinced.
