Katie Holmes: Filmography and the personal life of the actress

Today, the heroine of our narrative will be the American model and actress Katie Holmes. The most significant role she played in the fantastic film "Batman: The Beginning". However, she is not known for the majority of TV viewers at all for her work in films, but thanks to her marriage to Hollywood star of the first magnitude - Tom Cruise.

Biography

Katie Holmes was born on December 18, 1978 in the US city of Toledo, located in Ohio. Her family was a typical middle class: the father worked as a divorce lawyer, and the mother was engaged in the upbringing of children, who, incidentally, they had five: four daughters and a son. Interestingly, Katy has Russian, Irish, German and English roots. The girl studied diligently in a Catholic school, but in the evenings she was not torn from the TV, where she admired with such enthusiasm such a seemingly unattainable world of Hollywood. As a teenager, Cathy started attending a school of models. At the same time, she got carried away by the theater and did her best to attract the attention of the organization, which helps to promote young talents in the world of show business.

Katie Holmes: filmography, the beginning of a career

The talent and attractive appearance of the girl did not go unnoticed, and in 1995 she received an invitation to sample in New York. From there, Cathy immediately went to the city of Los Angeles, where she was invited to participate in the shooting of several episodes of an uncomplicated TV show. However, this was enough for a start. A few months later, young Holmes made her debut on the big screen, appearing in one of the episodes of the movie "Ice Storm". She also received an invitation to shoot in a popular series called Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But the first rays of glory did not turn Katie's head, and in order to calmly graduate from school, she refused to participate in several tempting projects.

Continuation of career

After Katie got a diploma of high school, she received a truly fateful invitation to one of the most popular teenage series called "Doudson's Bay." In this project, the young actress perfectly performed the role of the main character named Joey Potter. Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson played well with lovers who were familiar from childhood, and gradually their friendship grew into a serious adult relationship. Thanks to the filming in Doudson's Bay (the show went on screens from 1998 to 2003), the young actress became more famous, and in her brilliant future no one doubted.

Then followed the secondary roles of Holmes in such films as "Indecent Proposal", "Kill Mrs. Tingle", "Ecstasy" and others. None of these works received the attention of critics, with the exception of the picture "Dar", in which Katie appears before the viewer naked.

On top of success

Katie Holmes, whose filmography already included several serious films, continued to appear regularly on large screens. So, in 2002 she took part in the filming of the sensational thriller "The Phone Box". In this picture, Kathy's partner on the set was Colleen Farrell. A year later, she superbly played a nurse in the movie "The Singing Detective", where Robert Downey Jr. also starred.

In 2003, Holmes was listed on the list of candidates for the main role in the musical "The Phantom of the Opera", but eventually the producers and directors chose Emmy Rossum. In 2004, a new film with the participation of Kathy - "The First Daughter" was released. The following year she acted in two films at once: "Batman: The Beginning" and "Here Smoke". In the first of the films Holmes played a secondary character named Rachel Dawz. For this work she received the "Golden Raspberry" award in the category "The worst part of the second plan". As a result, in the next film about Batman Cathy was not invited.

In 2008, on the screens came two films with Holmes: "Easy money" and "Eli Stone."

Last works

In 2010, Katie Holmes starred in three films, among which you can highlight the thriller "Do not be afraid of the dark." A year later, she appeared in front of the audience in the image of the wife of the former US President - Jacqueline Kennedy in the film "The Kennedy Clan." However, most critics agree that the latest work of the actress is far from perfect and does not deserve special attention.

Also in 2011, Holmes starred in the film "Such Different Twins" and in the episode of the popular television series "How I Met Your Mother." In 2013, a film with the participation of Cathy entitled "Days and Nights" was released. In the current, 2014, the year is expected the premiere of two more projects: "Miss Meadows" and "Enlightened".

Personal life

During the work on the series "The Bay of Dawdson" Cathy Holmes for some time met with her partner on the set - Joshua Jackson. In 2000, the actress began an affair with the star of the American Pie - Chris Klein. Three years later the couple even got engaged, but after that their relationship did not last two years.

In April 2005, the actress first appeared in public in the company of one of the most successful actors of our time - Tom Cruise. However, then many thought that this is just a PR-move to attract attention to a new film project. However, everything turned out to be much more serious. A few months later, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced their engagement, and in April 2006 they had a daughter named Suri. In November of the same year, the young parents were married. Despite the fact that the couple were considered one of the most beautiful and strong in Hollywood, after a few years of marriage, the actors decided to part ways. Divorce Cruz and Katie Holmes was issued in August 2012. Today, the actress lives in New York and herself brings up a small Suri.
