Resumo de Pieces Of April

Kate Noelle "Katie" Holmes [1] (born December 18, 1978) is an American actress best known for her role as the tomboy Joey Potter on The WB television drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003. The part on the teen soap, only her second professional role, made Holmes a star. Holmes' movie roles have ranged from art films such as Pieces of April to thrillers such as Abandon to mega-blockbusters such as Batman Begins, but she has not found the same success in films as she did on television, the actress admitting most of her films were "bombs."
Weeks after ending a four-year relationship and year-long engagement with actor Chris Klein, Holmes began a highly publicized relationship with actor Tom Cruise in 2005. In June, two months after they first met, she became engaged to Cruise. Their relationship has made Holmes the subject of international media attention, much of it highly negative, the press speculating the relationship was only a publicity stunt to promote the couple's films. Many reports commented unfavorably about the interest of Holmes, a Roman Catholic, in Cruise's religion, Scientology. In October 2005, the couple announced that Holmes was pregnant.

Film career:
In 2005, Holmes characterized her film career as being a string of "bombs." "Usually I'm not even in the top ten," she said, the highest grossing film of her career at that time being Phone Booth, in which she played a supporting role. [25] She lamented "It's not like I have a lot of stuff that's great just waiting for me to sign on to."[26]
Her first leading role came in Disturbing Behavior (1998), a Scream-era Stepford Wives-goes-to-high school thriller, where she was a loner from the wrong side of the tracks. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote her character, Rachel, "dresses in black and likes to strike poses on the beds of pickup trucks and is a bad girl who is in great danger of becoming a very good one." [27]The actress won a MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance for the role, though Holmes said the film was "just horrible."[28]
Holmes played a disaffected supermarket clerk in Doug Liman's acclaimed ensemble piece Go (1999).[29] She had an uncredited cameo with Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson in Muppets from Space (1999), which was also filmed in Wilmington. Kevin Williamson's disaffection for his high school days spawned Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999), which he wrote and directed. Holmes played a straight-A student whose vindictive teacher (Helen Mirren) threatens to keep her from a desperately needed scholarship.[30]
