Product Description

Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.

Katie Holmes comes from an old-fashioned midwestern family. So, when she was asked to fly to Los Angeles to audition for a role in Dawson's Creek, one can understand why she had to say no. She was opening that day as the star in her high school play, Damn Yankees. Katie went ahead and made an audition tape with her mother and sent it to the producers of the new show. She never really thought she'd hear from them again. But then, life really is like the movies sometimes.

Katie now plays the part of Joey on Dawson's Creek. Although she is well-known for this role, she hasn't let her sudden fame change her. She has tried to keep her popularity and success in perspective. Young person's biography

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible!, December 21, 2000

By	"oppressa" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

There is about as much information in this 'book' as is on a badly researched Katie Holmes website. It has all of the obvious information that you probably already know. It is a mere 32 pages of large font and about 6 black and white photos. I could have written more and published a better book than this! Rather get "Katie Holmes Scene".
