Katie Holmes has a track record of making pretty big dreams come true rather quickly, from starting her acting career right out of high school to picking her husband straight off of a poster on her bedroom wall. "I think every little girl dreams about [her wedding]. I used to think I was going to marry Tom Cruise," Holmes infamously told Seventeen in October 2004 (via The Hollywood Reporter). THR reports that the soon-to-be couple met just six months later, apparently to discuss a role for Holmes in Mission Impossible 3. Cruise and Holmes made their first public appearance together in Rome, Italy, (shown above) where Cruise was receiving a lifetime achievement award. Actor Katie Holmes is best known for her roles in the hit TV show Dawson’s Creek and Batman Begins.

Days before getting engaged to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes converted from Catholicism to Scientology. Little has been reported regarding Holmes' personal reasons for joining the church beyond the fact that she was in love with perhaps its most famous member. And the only widely-reported observations about Holmes involvement with the church revolve around the aforementioned anecdotes from Scientology whistleblower Leah Remini. People reported their vows included promises to "to never close their eyes in sleep on a disagreement or an upset." Scientology leader David Miscavige was Cruise's best man. Holmes wore two Georgio Armani dresses throughout the day, and at the party, guests danced to music spun by producer Mark Ronson and enjoyed a five-tier wedding cake.

There's a special connection that Holmes and Cruise share to "Blue Moon" as well. The director cites the 1987 Diane Keaton comedy Baby Boom as one of the influences on Alone Together, and is an avowed fan of all things Keaton in general. Not coincidentally, the Annie Hall star covered "Blue Moon" in Rob Reiner's 2014 film, And So It Goes. "Diane met my daughter when she was a year old," Holmes reveals, which makes Cruise's rendition of the classic 1934 ballad in Alone Together a sweet full-circle moment.

Katie has raised Suri to be incredibly down-to-earth and the pair have a close relationship. Since Katie and Tom's split, which has since resulted in the Mission Impossible actor becoming estranged from his daughter, Suri has grown up for the majority of her childhood in New York City. Holmes starred in the 2010 remake of the horror-fantasy flick Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark as Kim Raphael, who is restoring an old estate with her boyfriend and his daughter.

On celebrating Mother's Day

Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson liked her performance so much that he waited for her, but the story gets even better. Williamson later told Holmes that he actually only saw half of her audition (her mom played Dawson) because her sister's volleyball game was taped over the other half. "Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be. To listen," she wrote. "To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift."

Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise in June 2012, and as is expected, she had one main focus in mind. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest," her attorney told People at the time. Because of the control that the Church of Scientology — and possibly Cruise — had over Katie, she had to make calculated moves and enlist the help of her father, Martin Holmes, an attorney.

Many noticed when Holmes didn't appear next to her husband on the red carpet while he promoted his new film. In an interview with Marie Claire, Holmes described being married to Cruise as "really fun," saying, "It's an amazing life, but we always remind ourselves of how incredibly lucky we are." At the conference, a fairly quiet Holmes said the two planned to have children. In a separate interview with "W," she spoke a bit about the process, saying, "You know, it's really exciting. I just started auditing and I'm taking some courses and I really like it. I feel like it's really helping." Cruise said, "I'm in love. I'm in love and it's one of those things where you want to be cool, like, ‘Yeah I like her' … that's not how I feel." He added, "I wanted to meet this person and I met her and she's extraordinary." In 2019, she spoke about "growing up" with her daughter in an interview with Elle UK.

On nurturing Suri's "strong personality"

A spokesperson for Cruise told People that Holmes was pregnant with the couple's first child together and the couple was "very excited." “Suri is not a Scientologist and never will be … she deserves love and sympathy,” former Scientology spokesperson Mike Rinder told Page Six. The 45-year-old also revealed in November 2013 court docs that she filed for divorce from Tom “to protect Suri from Scientology,” a religion that is often referred to as a cult.

Most recently, she has added executive producer and director to her resume with projects like her 2022 movie, Alone Together. "Hobbies such as sewing, painting and writing became new hallmarks of satisfaction and having had time at home to just be," she wrote. "To listen. To live for a moment in time without the pressure of results and instead appreciate the natural rhythms of mother and daughter was the most precious gift." Katie Holmes' 14 year old daughter Suri Cruise celebrated her birthday this week with a lot of love from her mother on social media. Us Weekly also got some rare details about Suri's life as a teenager and what her relationship with her mom is like.

Ocean's 8 premiered at Alice Tully Hall on June 5, 2018, and was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on June 8, 2018, 11 years to the day of the release of Ocean's Thirteen. Holmes’ acting, writing, and producing roles have earned her an estimated $25 million. Holmes reportedly earned $1 million for her 2005 role in Batman Begins and previously earned more than $13 million for her starring role in Dawson’s Creek for the duration of the show. Suri has also dabbled in the film industry, specifically in her mom’s movies, as a singer. She sang a cover of “Blue Moon” during the intro credits of Holmes’ film, Alone Together.

We're sad to report that Cruise probably played a big part in why — although Holmes has always been talented — she's never quite reached the full potential she gave us glimpses of on Dawson's Creek. "I love our whole cast from 'Dawson's Creek," the actress told InStyle in 2020. "And I think that it's...for all of us...unbelievable that people are still watching it and talking about it." Holmes' role made her the go-to girl for teen movies in the late '90s like Abandon and Disturbing Behavior. Holmes welcomed her first and only child, daughter Suri Cruise, 18, on April 18, 2006, in Los Angeles with then-husband Tom Cruise. The Dawson's Creek actress and Mission Impossible star first met the year prior and got engaged after a whirlwind two-month courtship, tying the knot with their newborn by their side in Italy in November 2006. According to Yahoo, the 16-year-old sings a cover of "Blue Moon" that plays at the beginning of the romantic comedy during the opening credits.

She added that her "patience has grown" and that she was focused on trying to set a positive example for her daughter. "She's very, very talented," Holmes gushed of the daughter she shares with ex Tom Cruise. Alone Together is playing in theaters now and debuts on most VOD services on July 29. Alone Together pairs Holmes with Jim Sturgess as a pair of New Yorkers who separately make the decision to flee the Big Apple at the height of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020. They both end up booking the same upstate Airbnb and, after some initial uncertainty and confusion, end up taking shelter together.

“Suri is very naturally athletic and excels at physical activities like gymnastics and dance,” that source said. The teenager’s vocal stylings have been used in two of the “Dawson Creek” alum’s projects. We hear the senior’s bio made no note of her parents, and instead graciously thanked her teachers and fellow student cast and crew. Holmes added that Suri had outgrown her "girlie stage" and was putting her mind to a range of new tasks.

"She gives you this incredible space between action and cut," the 44-year-old actor says. "She very rarely shouted, 'Cut!' actually! You'd think the scene had ended and she just kind of left it hanging. I love that she was always searching for those little nuggets of authenticity." She sang a pitch-perfect rendition of Blue Moon, and her mom was more than proud. Born in Santa Monica, California, Suri grew up in Hollywood in an impressive $40M Beverly Hills mansion with her dad Tom Cruise and mom Katie, complete with a swimming pool, children's playground and guest houses. Suri Cruise is counting down the days until adulthood, as the teenager turns 18 on April 18.
