Katherine Heigl want to get out of her contract on 'Grey's Anatomy' to pursue a movie career. After starring in 'Knocked Up' and '27 Dresses' which did well at the box office, Katherine believes she has outgrown the small screen.
“Katherine has even suggested to ‘Grey’s’ producers that they kill her character Dr. Izzie Stevens in dramatic fashion so her exit could bring in huge ratings,” a friend told The National Enquirer.
Since her box-office success, Katherine has formed a production company with her mother Nancy, who is also her manager, and she’s being "swamped" with movie offers.
But a source told the Enquirer that leaving Grey’s will be an uphill battle because her contract with Touchstone and ABC is ironclad for the next two years.
Despite the success of 'Knocked Up' - which starred Seth Rogen - Katherine should take a look at what happened to Mischa Barton and Shelley Long -- who both left hit TV shows for the "big screen" only to see acting offers dry up.
