Katherine Heigl chose to live on a ranch in Utah after realizing she needed "to escape." The actress moved to Los Angeles at 17 and gained fame in "Grey's Anatomy."
"I think some people are mountain people, and I think some people are beach people," Heigl explained during Thursday's episode of the "TODAY" show. "I’m sort of a mountain person and have always been that way. And my mom realized, because we went out to LA when I was 17 and hustled and hustled for years, right? And I think she realized at a certain point that I needed somewhere to escape to and kind of clear my head, and that grounded me."
"So we started trying to find, and dreaming about trying to find, that perfect place. And we found Utah, and then I started making enough money to be able to afford to do that."
