Some of my favorite pictures of Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are the ones where Katie is carrying an arm load of Suri’s dolls and stuffed animals. It is obvious that Suri loves her doll and animal collection.
Katie did an interview with the New York Times and talks about how she has always loved Barbies and dolls.
"I was a little slow to grow up. I played with Barbie dolls until my friends said it was time to put them away.
“They’d say, ‘You know, there are boys coming over.’ It was sad: I had 30 Barbies, 3 Skippers, 2 Kens and 1 Midge. I had the Barbie plane, the Barbie house, the Barbie pool, and I really like all the accessories.
"We had a pretty large basement in our house in Toledo, and we’d create elaborate Barbie setups. It would take all day, and then we’d get bored."
Katie obviously eventually put the Barbie’s away and started to get serious about acting and dancing. We know she can dance! We’ve seen her strut her stuff on Eli Stone.
So, when did she get started performing?
"I was always watching Vogue by Madonna and Janet Jackson’s videos, and I decided I wanted to dance. I was 13, which is kind of old to start. But I threw myself into it: I started dancing four times a week.
"I’m the kind of person who, when I decide to do something, it kind of takes over. I competed in all-girl dance competitions…but I never joined the drama club at my high school. I was too shy."
I can definitely see Katie being shy in high school. It doesn’t seem that her not joining the drama club hurt her in any way.
The question I have now is…what is up next for Katie Holmes career wise? Movies, more television, another Broadway play? We will have to wait and see.
