TheHairStyler.com Feature By Katie Summers, THS Entertainment Consultant
Born on December 18, 1978, in
Toledo, Ohio, Katie Holmes began modeling as a teenager, and while
attending an International Modeling and Talent Association Convention at
16, decided that modeling wasn't challenging enough and began to concentrate
on acting.
Signing with an agent at 17, Katie
went to Los Angles for pilot season and on her second audition scored a
role in the critically acclaimed movie "The Ice Storm".
With the acting bug firmly in place, Katie created a series of audition
tapes and landed the part of "Joey Potter", her breakout
role in the teenage drama series "Dawson's Creek."
"Dawson's Creek"
went onto critical and commercial success which launched Katie and the
other, then unknown, cast members onto the Hollywood radar. Movie offers
rolled in and Katie appeared in everything from teen movies, to thrilling
dramas and critically acclaimed blockbusters. Some movie highlights include:
"Wonder Boys", "The Gift", "Go!", "Phone
Booth" and "Batman Begins."
In early 2005, Katie split with
her fiancé and partner of 5 years, "American Pie" actor,
Chris Klein. A short while later it was announced that she had begun
dating Tom Cruise, who at 16 years her senior, seemed like an odd
match.
At first dismissed as a publicity
stunt, Katie and Tom continued their whirlwind relationship
and after just three short months together announced their plans to marry
after an engagement atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Fast forward another
three months and Katie and Tom have announced that they are expecting their
first child.
While Katie puts her acting
career on hold to become a mother, TheHairStyler.com looks back at
some of the great styles this talented young actress has had in the past.
From the "Dawson's Creek"
days, Katie has always kept to natural dark brown tones and long,
sleek layers. This is a simple look that is both elegant and sexy.
