Here’s a rundown of the cast of Netflix’s latest hit.
Katherine Heigl
Katherine or Katie to her close friends and family was born on November 24, 1978 in Washington D.C. She burst into the limelight at the young age of nine when an aunt took photos of her to be used for her hair product business. The snaps must’ve been really good that when they sent it to Wilhelmina, an international modeling agency, Katie was almost immediately signed on. Her first TV appearance was in a Cheerios commercial while her film debut came in 1992 for the film That Night. She modeled all throughout high school but soon realized that her passion was in acting. Katie became a household name playing Isabel in Grey’s Anatomy and she now takes the lead in Firefly Lane as Tully Hart.
Sarah Chalke
