While Katherine Heigl acknowledged in her interview with Time that her 27 Dresses character was certainly flawed, playing Tessa Connover in Unforgettable provided a different kind of challenge.
Perhaps she’ll attempt to snag more antagonistic roles in the future after her time on Unforgettable.
The complications of playing someone with so many “monsters in the closet” was what drew the actress to the role, since it provided a different kind of life experience compared to what she’s done in previous movies and TV shows.
Of course, finding someone as disturbed as Tessa in real life is difficult, but regardless, getting to dive into villain territory was clearly an enjoyable experience for Heigl.
