Katie
Holmes is a midwestern gal. She was always involved with
theatre in school, and although stardom often crossed
her mind, she didn't think it was a serious possibility
living in Ohio. She was very homegrown and down to earth.
But she thought there was no harm in going to a talent
convention in New York City, where she was spotted by
a talent manager who got her to audition for "The
Ice Storm." She got the part of Libbets Casey, a
friend and love interest of lead actor Tobey Maguire.
Although her role was small, she wowed audiences and critics
alike. But, despite the call of Hollywood and fame, she
returned home to the only home she ever knew, Toledo.
Her manager
encouraged her to audition for the upcoming series Dawson's
Creek. So Katie sent in a video tape, but opted out
of going to LA for another audition, as she instead
preferred to act in her high school production. The
producers of Dawson's thought she was worth the wait.
They got
her tape and she got the role of Joey, and the rest,
as they say, is history. We all know Katie Holmes beautiful
face and she has set forth to become a force in industry
for years to come.

Katie
graduated from Notre Dame Academy in June of 1997 and
began filming "Dawson's Creek" later that summer.
She has deferred admission to Columbia University. She
currently lives in Wilmington, NC, where she has just
bought a house. Katie has certainly come a long way from
dreaming about Hollywood in front of her TV set, and it
is a safe bet that she has an exciting, successful, and
interesting career ahead of her. As Katie herself remarked
in A Fanatic's Guide to Dawson's Creek, It's overwhelming
yesterday I was just your average kid from Toledo. Now
I have my own web site."
