These days, the only thing keeping Katie Holmes in the spotlight is her marriage to Tom Cruise and vampy new look. It's a shame after the cool flicks that jump-started her career like The Ice Storm, Go, Wonder Boys, and The Gift. Nevertheless, she's become one of the queens of tabloid fodder, and turning down Dark Knight for that stinker known as Mad Money didn't help things at all. Could Broadway save her?The Daily Mail says that she's in final negotiations to make her Broadway debut in All My Sons, a post-WWII drama written by Arthur Miller (that also became a film in 1948). Should she sign on the dotted line (she's already committed to private workshops of the play), she'll join John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest in the production. Yes! At the very least, we've got a Footloose reunion to delight in.
Aside from the cast, this production should get a lot of buzz because it's the first major revival of Miller's work since his death a few years ago. Based on a true story, it follows a woman whose father sold faulty parts to the military during the war. It's no Mad Money, so this might just be Holmes' professional resurrection. Considering Cruise's waning roster lately, could she revive things and become the family bread winner?
1. Why read and believe tabloids when they are trash. Those that do really have no lives and have pathetic I.Q's.
CNN showcased her beautiful transformation and the segment emphasized her grace and class handling all this tabloid insanity. Letters of admiration on CNN and People magazine also poured in for Katie.
Mad Money is so Katie Holmes because its the kind of projects she's been taking on after her WB show. She works with brilliant directors and challenging herself. I can see her pursuing a comedy than play a superhero gf and damsel in distress. Superhero gfs are overall thankless roles but its the guys that shine.
I hope this happens because this is Katie's dream. She turned down Dawson's Creek to keep her promise on her high school musical at Notre Dame's Damn Yankees.
Its her dignity that made theWB network wait for her to be Joey Potter same dignity she chose to be a devoted mom and wife than work a lot these days.
I also think Batman will require a lot from her esp the promo blitz all over which Mad Money didnt do much except promote only domestically.
