Katherine Heigl was a very popular actress at the height of her career. Apparently, that demand got to her head and she became a classic Hollywood diva. She's been quoted as "horrible to work with" on and off-set, which is something you never want to have on your record.

Tough to Work With

According to people that worked with her, she would constantly question and edit her script without permission from the directors.

Heigl has been heavily blacklisted.
