To the Great White Way and Beyond

Once a promising actress, Katie Holmes stole scenes on TV’s Dawson’s Creek and showed she could hold her own in films such as The Ice Storm, The Gift, and Pieces of April.

Then she became a Stepford Wife. (Hey, everyone says so.)

To prove that she can still play other parts, Holmes soon will head to Broadway to star in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.

The play depicts the tragedy of a man who knowingly sold defective plane parts to the government during World War II, and has to face the truth when his son wants to propose to his business partner’s daughter.

John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, and Patrick Wilson will co-star.

And so, a star is re-born. Break a leg. (Hey, that’s just a saying.)
