Katie Holmes

Katie was born on December 18, 1978 in Toledo, Ohio as Kate Noelle Holmes. She is 5' 9" [1.75 m] tall.

As you can see in the first image below, her eyes seem to be a mixed color. I looked up her eye color on the "inter-tubes" and found out that they are actually brown. Incredibly, I've come across images with her eyes blue, green and grey. I believe she probably has beautiful eyes without the contacts or touch up in PS that has been done.

It's my imagination but it seems like she is doing less movies after she has gotten married to Mr. Cruise. She has actually done more movies after her marriage. I hope she does more movies that I can be interested enough to go see them on the big screen. Perhaps she can be in a movie with her husband. Though Michelle Monaghan did a great job in the role of the fiancé, wouldn't it have been fun if Katie did the role?
