When Katie Holmes popped onto Hollywood’s radar in 1998 as lovable girl-next-door Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek,” many people didn’t realize that by that time, she had already worked with Ang Lee and Tobey Maguire on “The Ice Storm.”
Within the next two years, she teamed with Doug Liman on “Go,” Curtis Hanson on “Wonder Boys” and Sam Raimi on “The Gift.” Her more recent collaborators include Christopher Nolan (“Batman Begins”), Jason Reitman (“Thank You For Smoking”) and producer Guillermo del Toro (“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”) — all of whom most actors would kill to work with.
