Katie Holmes sky-rocketed to fame when she starred on the WB drama Dawson's Creek.

Katie was previously engaged to actor Chris Klein, whom she dated for five years. They got engaged Christmas 2003 and their relationship ended in March 2005.

Katie and A-list star Tom Cruise became involved a couple months later and went on to become engaged in June 2005 in Paris, France. The general concensus was that it was an "arranged" deal between the pair. Katie did however convert to Scientology shortly after they started dating and she went on to become pregnant. Katie dropped in October 2005 out of the movie Shame on You due to that pregnancy as she didn't want a tough work schedule to disturb her unborn child. She gave birth to their daughter on April 18th, 2006. The couple named her Suri, which means "Princess".

Katie married Tom Cruise on November 18th, 2006. At the wedding, which cost roughly $3,000,000, the bride wore an off-the-shoulder Armani gown. The train was in ivory silk cadis adorned in Valenciennes lace and Swarovski beaded crystal embroidery. The wedding ring was a white gold Cartier with diamonds. Go-karts and motocross bikes were provided to entertain the younger guests, while Andrea Bocelli serenaded the newlyweds and guests. As a wedding gift Katie gave Tom a Vacheron Constantin watch engraved "I Love You". She bought it in Los Angeles just a week before the wedding. For her wedding night, Katie spent $1,200 on a lace La Perla ensemble with Swarovski crystals sewn onto the straps.

  • Is anyone else worried about Katie in Tom's clutches?

    I don't know Katie personally, but she seems like a very sweet, smart, and talented person, who by the way is saving her virginity for marriage.   Then all of a sudden Cruise moves in, and she abandons her values, her religion, and almost her family. With no wedding date in site Tommy knocks herMore up, and 9 months later their still not married, though they do go into hiding.  Many more months go by, still not even a date for marriage. What bothers me the most is I just saw the Oprah segment for the first time.  Cruise seemed like he was on crack or something with his erratic behavior - jumping from the couch to the floor and Oprah having to put her hands out to keep him from jumping her.  Then they are chanting her name to get Katie to come out, but they chant away, and it seems she doesn't want to come out.  So Tom chases her (in what didn't seem to be in any way playful) through room after room and down hallway after hallway. She's really running and she goes through half the studio before he "apprehends her". As he brings her back down the hallway, he is holding her arms behind her back the way the police would handle someone if they didn't have cuffs.  The nutcake literally drags her out against her will. Now god knows what he's infecting her head with.  I have a feeling they won't marry, and he'll get custody of the kid to use as some kind of Scientology ritual sacrifice to Xenu.  Somebody rescue poor Katie!

    The girl nextdoor! hide show

    She's always been very inspiring to me, since her days on Dawson's creek. I loved the delivery of all her witty lines throughout the series; I hope she does something similar sometime in the future instead of sitting around as Mrs. Cruise. She'll always be the girl across the creek to me regardless of how she is now. She really needs to leave Tom and ASAP, I know she probably couldn't turn down the fame and fortune of being Cruise's wife but is it really worth the loss of respect her fans have been giving her... She could make it on her own merit.

    Little Joey Potter hide show

    Little Joey Potter, and it's most definnetly because of her talented life to that character I'll rate her that high. Mr. Cruise ruined what could have been a great career, but that's just the way it goes sometime.

    She gave life to Joey in a way many young actors and actresses can't do, and always kept that strange smile charming everybody. Both with bodylanguage, speak and eyes expressed the emotions required and was one of the main reasons Dawson's Creek managed to touch the way it did.

    Now we can only think about what could have been, and she sure could have been a big star...

    Little Joey Potter. hide show

    Over her years on Dawson's Creek I thought that Katie Holmes was just the cutest little in her role as Joey Potter, I can't say I feel exactly the same way as of now but things are very different with her these days. I won't say she was a beacon of great acting skills but I thought she played the character to the point, it felt very believeable at every turn which sometimes young actors fail at accomplishing. And I always felt she connected well with the camera and her cast mates, like quite a few of the other cast members on Dawson's Creek.

    This hotty from Dawson's Creek has went way down hill since getting with Tom Cruise. hide show

    This hotty from Dawson's Creek has went way down hill since getting with Tom Cruise. Tom could be her father and frankly that destroys the hotty factor. She had potential and now is just Tom's Scientologist-Sidekick.

    I am actually suprised she was allowed to work on her newest film, and she gets way too much press time. As an actress she has only had one long term role and she did it well, but no better than hundreds of other actresses.

    This is only one person's opinion, but we really need to stop giving credit where credit is obviously not due.

    Katie Holmes is a great actress and pulls off the girl next door really well. She is well grounded and a mature human being. Quite the role model never mixing with the wrong crowd. Trying to make a name for herself. She is married to Hollywood royalty. hide show

    Katie born on 18 Dec 1978 to Kathleen and Martin Holmes. She is the youngest of 5 children. she has 3 older sister's and 1 older brother named also Martin.
    She auditioned for Buffy Summers from Buffy the vampire Slayer was too young so got the part of Joey from Dawson's Creek. She has grown as an actress and wanted to make a name for herself in movies so every chance she got made films that wee ok. Katie is married to Tom Cruise and has a daughter Suri. She is currently finished a film called Mad Money with Queen Latifah a comedy. This is the first time we get to see Katie in a comedy.
    Her future is looking quite good. She has the luxury to make any films she pleases and has Tom Cruise to guide her.
    With time Katie will blossom as a really good actress.
