Who are Katherine Heigl Parents ? Siblings ?
Heigl was born in Washington, D.C., in Columbia Hospital for Women.
She is the youngest of four children of Nancy (née Engelhardt), a personal manager, and Paul Heigl, a financial executive and accountant.
Her father is of German (including Swiss-German) and Irish descent, and her mother is of German ancestry.
Her siblings are Meg (adopted), Jason (deceased), and Holt.
Heigl lived in Virginia and then Denver, before her family moved into a Victorian-style farmhouse in the town of New Canaan, Connecticut, when Katherine was five, and where she spent the rest of her childhood.
In 1986, her older brother Jason died of injuries suffered in a car accident, after being thrown from the back of a pickup truck while out for lunch with some of his high school classmates. His organs were donated by his family after death.
Her brother’s death led Heigl’s parents to convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Heigl was reared in that faith (prior to that, her mother had been Lutheran and her father Catholic).
