Welcome to The Katie Holmes Picture Pages!
No one wanted to be the girl next door. No one wanted to
get with the girl next door. That is…until Katie Holmes
moved to the neighbourhood!! Born in Toledo, Ohio, on
December 18, 1978, Katherine Noelle Holmes, innocently
sexy star of the hit series Dawson's Creek, used to sit
in front of her TV and imagine what it would be like to
be a famous celebrity.
Well, she's living that dream now and starring in the
fantasies of millions of males around the globe. So
what's so great about Katie that she transformed from
studious schoolgirl to sultry screen siren practically
overnight? Hmmm...How about the fact that she's the
perfect combination of irresistible naivete, incredible
talent, and killer beauty? Oh, and she's got a great
attitude to boot. Uh-huh. That would do it.
Holmes got her first taste of acting by starring in
theatre productions at Notre Dame Academy, an all-girls
Catholic school in Toledo. If she's any indication of
the kind of girls that walk the corridors of Catholic
schools, we bet our booties guys everywhere are
converting and enrolling in these schools, praying for
the chance to gawk at gorgeous girls in the corridors.
What can we say? Notre Dame Academy produced one
heavenly babe.
But Katie's big break came when she attended "New York,
New York", an IMTA (International Model and Talent
Association) convention, in New York City, in July of
1995. There, she met and caught the eye of talent
manager Al Onorato, who sold Katie on the idea of flying
to Los Angeles for the pilot season. And what a great
sale it was. Half a year later, she won a part in The
Ice Storm, a film based on the novel by Rick Moody. And
Hollywood liked what it saw. Before Katie could say Step
aside, Jennifer Love Hewitt, she was offered the part of
Buffy Summers in the show that kicks vampire ass, Buffy
the Vampire Slayer. So why is it that we see Sarah
Michelle Gellar slaying the bloodsuckers and not Katie?
'Cuz she turned the part for a better one: high school
grad. If dedication turns you on, then Katie must be
lighting you up like a Christmas tree!
Opportunity knocked again. A little opportunity called
Dawson's Creek. You might've heard of it. But Katie
skipped her audition because she didn't want to abandon
the opening night of her high school's production of
Damn Yankees. Damn. But lucky for us, the head honcho of
Dawson's Creek, Kevin Williamson, wanted Katie so much
(who doesn't??), he rescheduled an audition for her. And
she nailed the part of cute-as-hell tomboy, Joey Potter.
So after graduating from high school, she said ta-ta to
Toledo and went to North Carolina to start taping
Dawson's Creek. And the whole world saw that simple and
innocent is damn sexy
