     Katherine Noelle Holmes was born on December 18, 1978, in Toledo, Ohio. Luck was definitely on her side, since Katie's feature film debut took no more than one audition. Inexperienced and tinged with a drop of navet, Katie Holmes was cast in 1997's The Ice Storm, as Tobey Maguire's girlfriend. With nothing to lose, Katie sent in her home video audition and hoped for the best. And that's what the Dawson's Creek screenwriter/producer saw when he watched her tape: the best. Based on the success of Dawson's Creek and its popularity among teens, Katie was cast in the thriller Disturbing Behavior in 1998. The following summer, Katie could be seen in theaters in two feature films: Go, and as the heroine in Teaching Mrs. Tingle. In 2000, while still roaming the halls of high school in Dawson's Creek, Katie appeared in Wonder Boys, starring Michael Douglas and her Ice Storm co-star, Tobey Maguire, as well as in The Gift. Katie then appeared in a string of moderately successful movies, including Phone Booth (2002), Abandon (2002), The Singing Detective (2003), Pieces of April (2003) and Batman Begins.
