Katherine Heigl Harper's Bazaar June 2010 Pictures

Katherine Heigl covers the June 2010 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. The fired-again-hired-again former Grey’s Anatomy actress, who has since transitioned into annoying movies, sat for an interview and posed for a shoot. The pictures from her 50s-inspired shoot are below. She manages not to be especially irritating, at all, in the interview. She actually almost comes across as likeable and normal.

She talks about her adopted daughter, Naleigh Kelley, how being a mother has changed her, and so forth. It’s a lot less irritating in this interview than when certain celebrities do the same thing (yes, Jennifer Lopez, I’m looking at you).

On her special-needs adopted daughter Naleigh: “Her heart is 100 percent fine now. She has a scar…. A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant. That’s not so huge that you couldn’t handle it.”
On working and simultaneously raising a daughter at home: “It was crazy, because as my character was learning how to take care of a one-year-old, I was too. But as I was working with these gorgeous little triplets who play my child, I was feeling bad that I was spending more time with them than with my own kid. And that broke my heart.”
On speaking her mind: “I spent so many years just saying what I felt without thinking about the ramifications, without understanding that I have this opinion but not everyone might share that opinion and now they don’t like me because of it. That was really awkward. I was really raised with the idea that it’s important to be honest and to share your experiences, both disappointing and exhilarating. But sometimes I think the American public just wants to see my life as good fortune. They don’t want to know about the day-to-day. It ruins the fantasy. It’s lame to say that I’m a normal girl.”
On her mom: “The relationship I have with my mother is rare, and I know for some people it looks like I’m a real mama’s girl. I never cut the apron strings, but that’s one thing I will never deny. It has saved me.”
