#KATIE HOLMES DAUGHTER SERIES#

Transitioning from the show that made her famous has not been easy. Her first leading role came in 1998's Disturbing Behaviour, and she won praise for her part as a supermarket checkout girl in the acclaimed indie ensemble drama Go in 1999. Hollywood came calling while she was still in the series. 'So much of me is in Joey and it really felt like I grew up on television.' Indeed it was while filming the show that she met her 'first love', actor Joshua Jackson - who played her on-screen romantic interest Pacey Whitter. 'It was very difficult for me to leave Wilmington, to have my little glass bubble burst and move on.

Although she had been accepted to study at Columbia University, Katie put her further education on the back burner as the hugely popular series catapulted her to fame, with Time magazine declaring her 'impossibly lovely'.Keen to escape the media hype, she bought a house in the sleepy town of Wilmington, North Carolina, where she lived while shooting the series between 19. 'To meet her is to instantly fall under her spell,' said the show's creator. She was asked to audition for Kevin Williamson's teen drama Dawson's Creek in LA but it conflicted with her playing Lola in the school musical Damn Yankees and she politely declined the offer.Fortunately the producers allowed her to send a video tape, and she won the part of Dawson Leery's childhood sweetheart Joey Potter. Ironically this nearly led to her missing her big break. 'She really is a beautiful girl, but there is also a lot of intelligence there and it shows.' The straight-A student had showed an early penchant for acting, performing in school productions such as Hello, Dolly. 'Katie was cast because she had the perfect amount of innocence and worldliness,' explained director Ang Lee. There the pretty teenager was spotted by a talent scout, and soon won her first screen role as Libbets in The Ice Storm. 'I had Katie in my religion class,' remembers Sister Sally Marie Bohnett, 'And I remember a bright-eyed, eager, happy student.'At 14 Katie enrolled in modelling classes run by Margaret O'Brien who took her to New York in 1996 for a talent convention. At the all-girl Notre Dame Academy Catholic high school, she excelled in her studies.

The new arrival was the youngest addition to the close-knit family of five children. Kate Noelle Holmes was born on December 18, 1978, in Toledo, Ohio, to Roman Catholic parents Martin, a divorce lawyer and Kathleen, a housewife.
