Katherine Heigl, the star of the Netflix drama series “Firefly Lane,” has a visible scar on her neck that has caused her fans to wonder how she got it. After leaving the hit medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy” in 2010, Katherine focused on her film career. However, four years later, she made her long-awaited comeback to television with lead roles in political and legal dramas such as “State of Affairs,” “Doubt,” and “Suits.”
Katherine Heigl’s return to television became even more prominent when she secured the leading role in the Netflix series “Firefly Lane.” She played Tully Hart, a famous daytime talk show host. While fans enjoyed watching her work on the show, many couldn’t help but notice a scar on her neck. The curiosity of fans led to the question: what is the origin of Katherine’s neck scar?
The scar is from a surgery that the actress underwent to implant two titanium discs in her neck after revealing that she had a herniated disc. In March 2021, Katherine shared photos of herself in a neck brace and in the hospital with a bandage on her neck, along with X-rays of her neck. She did not explain how she sustained the injury but expressed her gratitude to the doctors who treated her and fixed the excruciating pain.
