A brunette natural beauty from a close-knit family in Toledo, Ohio, Katie Holmes landed the first two professional auditions of her career, resulting in her feature debut in the acclaimed “The Ice Storm” (1997) and a regular series role on the popular teen drama “Dawson’s Creek” (The WB, 1998-2003). While such accomplishments are virtually unheard of in Hollywood, and may easily be written off as amazing luck, those who have witnessed her work are not likely to discount her formidable talent and ease on camera.
