Why Hollywood Won't Cast Katherine Heigl Anymore

In 2013, an insider who worked on Life As We Know It (2010) told The Hollywood Reporter that working with Katherine Heigl led to "desperately difficult situations."

"She can cost you time every single day of shooting. Wardrobe issues, not getting out of the trailer, questioning the script every single day. Even getting her deal closed at Warners was hard," the source said. "She hit that point of 'no.'"

A staffer who worked on 27 Dresses (2008) had a similar experience with Heigl, lamenting, "There were movie-star demands — big rooms, the mother there, all the stuff. ... 'We need the presidential suite at The Bristol!' It was just a sense of entitlement. The biggest stars don't do that kind of thing."

Still, when Heigl was later asked about her reputation as rude and difficult to work with, she wasn't apologetic. "I certainly don't see myself as being difficult; I would never intend to be difficult. I don't think my mother sees herself as being difficult," she said in a press conference in 2014 (via The Hollywood Reporter). "It's always important to everybody to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully and kindly, so if I have ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional."
