The former star of Dawson’s Creek would like to be considered as a serious and talented actress. She is inspired by Reese Witherspoon who has the respect of many Hollywood producers.
A source stated, "Katie keeps telling Tom she wants a career like Reese Witherspoon’s."
Cruise offered to help boost Holmes’ career, but she is determined to do it on her own. "Tom has offered to make calls to ensure she gets a first refusal on the hot scripts, but Katie insists she wants to achieve success without his help," added the source.
Holmes has starred in movies such as Batman Begins, Thank You for Smoking and Phone Booth.
