Most recently, she starred in the fourth installment of the cult-hit "Child’s Play" series, "The Bride of Chucky." Her credit list also includes a co-starring role in "King of the Hill," director Steven Soderbergh’s depression-era opus. She dipped into the action genre as Steven Segal’s kidnapped niece in "Under Siege 2," and was featured in "Prince Valiant" and the comedy "Wish Upon A Star."
Heigl has also starred on the small screen, appearing opposite Peter Fonda in the Shakespeare-as-Civil- War-period-piece drama "The Tempest." She played the critical role of 16-year-old Miranda, who is torn between her devotion to her father and her love for a Union soldier.
Heigl continued to live and attend school in New England until her high school graduation, when she moved to Los Angeles to dedicate herself to being a full-time actor.
