Born – December 18, 1978
Toledo, Ohio, U.S.

Became famous in the late ‘90s playing the cute girl on “Dawson's Creek.”

Went on to make a bunch of films that may be terrible, but you’d have to find someone who actually saw them to confirm it.

Played Batman’s love interest in “Batman Begins,” won rave reviews from publications such as Variety, which said, "Holmes is OK.”

Got her biggest break when she was cast as Tom Cruise's wife in 2006.

Gave birth later that year to daughter Suri Cruise, who you'll be working for by the time you read this.

Inspired Tom Cruise to jump on Oprah’s couch and scare the entire world.

Fun Fact: She turned down a role in “The Dark Knight” to make “Mad Money” with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. Guess which one went on to gross a billion dollars?
