Katherine Heigl’s departure from Grey’s Anatomy represents one of the more bizarre Hollywood stories from the past decade. After winning an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama in 2007, Heigl withdrew her name from consideration the following year. Over the next two years, Heigl took multiple sabbaticals — ultimately ending in a 2010 departure. Heigl believes those two decisions resulted in the industry blackballing the actress. Once seemingly on track to become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Heigl’s career has floundered in recent years.
