Dressed in a stunning blood-red Escada number, hair teased into
Monroe-style curls, Heigl oozed old-fashioned
Hollywood glamour on a grey
Oscars night that was desperately in need of a touch of color, as The Daily Mail has described
Katherine Heigl in a lengthy article.
"To be honest, it's too much pressure to believe that I could ever fill her shoes," she says, "and I can't help but feel that it's a little insulting to her to have that said about her."
"In any case, I think Julia Roberts herself has the whole Julia Roberts thing well under control."
Sure, there are plenty of other actresses that are quite pretty and benefit from a certain degree of popularity, but none of them even come close to Julia Roberts.
An American Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated actress admits "The success is great, and even though it brings with it a whole other set of pressures and stresses, it also gives me much more freedom," .
Heigl turned her attention to television when she accepted the role of Isabel Evans on the science fiction TV drama Roswell.
She found fame starring in TV medical drama
Grey’s Anatomy, but has since found Hollywood success in movies like 2007’s
Knocked Up.
She starred in the film,
27 Dresses which was released in January 2008, playing alongside James Marsden.
The 29-year-old aims to become a movie producer when she is no longer offered high profile film roles, and has set up
Abishag Productions with her mom Nancy so she has a job to fall back on.
"I remember clearly those days when I didn't work," she says, "which is why it's so important to me now to strike while the iron's hot."
