While there is no clarity with Katherine Heigl’s salary dispute, this Grey’s Anatomy star ventures in another lucrative opportunity. Now, she serves as a spokes model for a woman’s fragrance.
Heigl, a 28-year old model turned actress, is popularly known for her role as Isobel “Izzie” Stevens on the popular medical Grey’s Anatomy. Early March, Heigl expressed her sentiments to the public regarding her exposed salary dispute. She said, “I am embarrassed that this has become a public matter and disappointed that Touchstone felt it necessary to divulge private employment information…I had hoped I would be able to deal with this issue confidentially with my bosses. I dropped out of the renegotiation simply because I wanted to treat myself with the respect I was not getting from them.”

star makes donation to project on African slave trade
March 15, 2007 (LOS ANGELES) – Isaiah Washington, who traced his ancestral roots to Sierra Leone through DNA testing, has donated $25,000 to a computer animation project that aims to detail the Atlantic slave trade.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” star started a nonprofit foundation last year to improve the lives of people in the West African nation.
“The stories of innumerable Sierra Leoneans that were forced into slavery have yet to be extensively told,” Washington said in a statement. “I believe this project will begin to shed some much-needed light on the region, both past and present.”
The computer project focuses on Bunce Island, an 18th-century slave-trading castle that sent African captives to North America. Joseph Opala and Gary Chatelain, professors at James Madison University in Virginia, are directing the project, which will show the castle as it appeared in 1805.
They hope to create an educational CD that will let students to look at the castle and its details to see what Africans experienced 250 years ago.
“Our computer animation project will allow us to go beyond the imagination, and actually see how the Atlantic slave trade was carried out,” which is crucial because events then could not be documented by photography, Opala said in a statement.
Washington’s donation was made through his Gondobay Manga Foundation and the Friends of Sierra Leone, a spokesman said Wednesday.
The star of ABC’s hit medical drama came under fire this year for using an anti-gay slur, for which he later apologized.
