Katie Holmes
Katie stars as Joey
Potter on Dawson's Creek and has also starred in
several big screen movies, "Go",
"Teaching Mrs.Tingle" and "Disturbing
Behavior". Like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Katie
was slated for stardom even before she left her teen
years.
For her generation,
Katie is considered among the most talented
actresses, with the best chances of surviving the
post-WB teenybopper years. With her strict
upbringing, in the age of obsessed teenage
celebrities, Katie playing an innocent young woman
isn't much of a stretch. Her rise to fame coincided
with the success of Dawson's Creek, where she plays
the sweet and naïve Joey.

Katie is youngest of
five children, with three older sisters and an older
brother. She was born December 18, 1978, in Toledo,
Ohio. Her mother, Kathy, enrolled her in the
Margaret O'Brien's Modeling School in Toledo, which
ultimately led Katie to her present career. Katie
was educated at the Notre Dame Academy, an all girls
Catholic high school.
Katie got her start
by attending a modeling convention in New York City.
During the convention, a talent scout from Los
Angeles approached Katie and encouraged her to spend
the rest of the summer in California auditioning.
Katie was off to Hollywood with her mother, despite
her father's skepticism. It took Katie only one
audition before she was cast in "The Ice
Storm", as Tobey Maguire's girlfriend.
Katie got her big
break when she was immediately cast in the Dawson's
Creek series that received rave reviews, even before
its premiere. With the success of Dawson's Creek and
its popularity among teens, Katie was then cast in
the thriller "Disturbing Behavior" in
1998, and the following summer, two feature films,
"Go", and as the heroine in "Teaching
Mrs. Tingle".
Katie is currently
living in Wilmington, NC, where the television
series is filmed. She has deferred her acceptance to
Columbia University until she has more time in her
hectic acting schedule with Dawson's Creek. Katie
received Sweden's Expressen Fredag's "Babe of
the Year" in 1998. |
