Fantastic Femmes--Katie Holmes

Though she became famous as ingenue Joey Potter on the night-time soap Dawson's Creek, Katie's best-known as the wife of fellow actor Tom Cruise.
It's a shame, because her credits include well-reviewed performances in film (starting with The Ice Storm), tv, and even the Broadway stage!
Trivia:
Rumored to have been offered the lead in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer tv series.
Turned down reappearing as Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight because it would've kept her away from her daughter, Suri, for too long.

Genre appearances include...
Batman Begins / Batman Begins: the Video Game (Rachel Dawes)
Abandon (Katie Burke)
The Gift (Jessica King)
Muppets from Space (cameo as Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek)
Disturbing Behavior (Rachel Wagner)
