October 30, 2014 BBBSLA Gala Nets Katherine Heigl
The event: The “Big Bash” at the Beverly Hilton, benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles, turned out to be so inspiring that Katherine Heigl volunteered on the spot to mentor a teen speaker.
And no wonder the young woman found herself an instant supporter -- she had talked onstage at the event Friday of her desire to learn five languages, become the future head the FBI and one day donate “thousands and thousands” to the program. “That girl was pretty phenomenal, wasn’t she?” said Heigl, still bubbling with enthusiasm at the event’s conclusion. “It didn’t take much. She was so incredibly funny and charming, and I’m now doing a show [“State of Affairs”] about the CIA, so I just thought I have to mentor her. … I want to help make her director of the CIA.”
