Education

Katie Holmes grew up in a wealthy religious family. Because of this, she attended the prestigious Notre Dame Academy when she was a teenager. This was an all-girls school. Katie Holmes was 18 years old when she began attending college classes at Columbia University. However, she did not stay there for long. She left school to act on one of her most famous television shows to date, "Dawson's Creek."

Actress Career: Television and Movies

Katie Holmes's film career began in 1997, slightly before she turned 18. She first appeared in the movie "Ice Storm" as the character Libbets Casey. Shortly after, she also appeared in the 1998 movie "Disturbing Behavior" as Rachel Wagner. In 1999, she appeared in two movies, "Go" and "Teaching Mrs. Tingle." While Katie Holmes appeared in many more movies than television shows in the 1990's, her most famous role of the decade was in the show "Dawson's Creek." She began acting on this show in 1998. She played the character Joey Potter. "Dawson's Creek" became a popular teen drama almost as soon as it went on air. Holmes was able to use the acting skills she learned while working on this show to earn herself future movie and television roles.

#tbt Squad ‘97. I’d known these people all of 7 days when this pic was taken. 20 years ago this week 😱 the little pilot we shot in that small town for that fledgling network aired, changed our lives and launched our careers. Thank you to the Wilmington, North Carolina crew and community who raised us & kept us sane, thank you to the many talented writers and producers who gave of your hearts talents and put up with us. And thank you especially to the fans of the show. It’s a funny relationship we have... your experience of this project is what you saw on camera, while my memories are mostly what I experienced off of it. And yes, it’s true that I haven’t seen most episodes (it became healthier at a certain point to just commit 100% on the day and let it go completely), but the beauty of this arrangement is that my impression of the show now is what you’ve all reflected back to me over the years... and it’s been lovely to witness. So thank you to anyone who’s ever expressed appreciation for the work we did - it makes me feel proud to be associated with these three fine people (and the rest of the cast), and proud to have been a part of #DawsonsCreek. This one will always have a special little place in my heart.

While working on "Dawson's Creek," Katie Holmes continued to act in movies, although, she did not work on any other television shows at the same time. The films she appeared in during the filming of this show were "The Gift," "Abandon," "Phone Booth," "The Singing Detective," and "Pieces of April." Out of these, "The Gift" was Holmes's most popular film. After the end of "Dawson's Creek," Holmes continued to focus on her career in acting in movies for a few years before returning to acting in television. The first movie she acted in after "Dawson's Creek" was "First Daughter." In "First Daughter," she played the character, Samantha Mackenzie. In 2005, Holmes took on one of her most famous movie roles as the character Rachel Dawes in "Batman Begins." She also went on to voice the same character in the "Batman Begins" video game with the same name. However, she did not appear in the sequel to "Batman Begins," and her character was taken over by the actress, Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Some of the movies that Katie Holmes appeared in after 2005 are "Mad Money," "The Romantics," "The Extra Man," and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." However, she is not currently growing fame because of her movies. Instead, her new fanbase comes from her work in television. In 2011, Katie Holmes took on the role of Jackie Kennedy in the television mini-series, "The Kennedys." This mini-series only had eight episodes, but it was enough to launch her career in television again. In 2013, she had a guest role in the famous television sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother," as Naomi. Her next recurring television role was in the television show, "Ray Donovan," which aired for one season in 2015. In this show, she played the character of Paige Finney. In 2017, Holmes revised her role as Jackie Kennedy in the new mini-series, "The Kennedys: Decline and Fall." She even went on to direct and produce an episode of this show.

While working on "The Kennedys" and her other television shows, Katie Holmes continued to work on movies. Some of the most popular movies that she has worked on since the start of "The Kennedys" are "Jack and Jill," "Miss Meadows," "The Giver," "Woman in Gold," and "Logan Lucky." As of 2018, Katie Holmes is currently working on several movies at once. These movies are "Mrs. Otis Regrets," "The Gift," "Dear Dictator," "Ocean's 8," and "Doorman." It should be noted that "The Gift" currently in production is not a remake of "The Gift," which Holmes also had a role in 2000. We wish Katie Holmes all the luck in the world for her upcoming projects.

Movie and Television Awards and Nominations

Katie Holmes has been acting in television and film for over ten years, but she has only won five awards so far. She has won an MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Female Performance for her work in the film "Disturbing Behavior," a Napa Valley Film Festival Jury Award for Best Lounge Feature for "All We Had," and a Women in Film Crystal Award Face of the Future award in 2011. Unfortunately, she also has two Razzie awards. These are for Worst Screen Couple in "Jack and Jill" and Most Tiresome Tabloid Target for her relationship with Tom Cruise.

Katie Holmes also has just over a dozen award nominations. Although two of them are for Razzie Awards, the rest of the award nominations are a great accomplishment for her. Many of her award nominations are for her work on the show "Dawson's Creek." In fact, she has five Teen Choice Award nominations for this show. Some of her other awards nominations are for the movies, "Pieces of April," "Batman Begins," and "Teaching Mrs. Tingle." Although "First Daughter" was one of her most popular films, it did not go well with critics. For this reason, Holmes has no awards or nominations for "First Daughter."

Katie Holmes's Net Worth

As of 2018, it is estimated that Katie Holmes's net worth is somewhere around $25 million. As she continued to work in show business, we expect her net worth to grow, as there are no rumors about her frivolously spending money and she is not in debt.

Yearly earnings and estimated future net worth

Katie Holmes makes most of her money from acting in movies and television shows. In 2013, it was reported that she made over $20 million a year. With this much money coming in each year, it is likely that her net worth will grow wildly in the next few years.

Romantic Relationships

For most of Katie Holmes's adult life, she has been in romantic relationships with celebrity men. Most of these relationships have been highly photographed and otherwise documented in magazines and celebrity tabloids. One of her first major celebrity relationships was with Joshua Jackson. This couple began their relationship in 1998. They were both actors on the teen drama, "Dawson's Creek," which is where they met. The couple dated for about a year before breaking up. However, the two continued to work on "Dawson's Creek" together for the next few years. In 2000, Holmes began dating Chris Klein. The two celebrities were in a serious relationship, even becoming engaged in 2003. However, the couple never married, as they ended their engagement, and their relationship, in 2005.

Marriage to Tom Cruise

To date, Katie Holme's most famous and most serious relationship has been with the actor Tom Cruise. This couple began dating in 2005, and their relationship flew by at breakneck speed. After only dating for a couple of months, Tom Cruise proposed marriage, and she accepted. The couple married later in the same year. In 2006, the couple welcomed their first and only child into the world, Suri Cruise. For the first few years of her life, Suri Cruise was surrounded by a loving family, but Tom Cruise and Katie's relationship wasn't as perfect as it appeared in the magazines. In 2011, the couple filed for divorce. The divorce was settled in 2012. Since then, Neither Katie Holmes or Suri Cruise seems to see much of Tom Cruise. Both mother and daughter wish that Tom Cruise would spend more time with Suri Cruise, but it does not seem like that will happen anytime soon. Other than Tom Cruise's busy acting schedule, it is unknown as to why he does not spend more time with his daughter. It has also been reported that Tom Cruise had to pay over $10 million from the couple's divorce. Part of the reason the couple divorced was because Katie Holmes's claimed that Tom Cruise treated her unwell. His obsession with Scientology also put strains on their relationship.

After Katie Holmes's divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012, she took a break from dating. There was a rumor going around in 2013 that she was dating Peter Cincotti. However, this relationship was never confirmed. Her first official relationship post-divorce was with Alexander Skarsgård in 2014. These two celebrities dated for a few months before breaking up.
