The Cruises Take Manhattan: Tom, Katie And Suri Seek New York Apartment

BIG news is Katie Holmes doing B'way's "All My Sons" revival with John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Pat rick Wilson. So how did a producer in his 30s nail Tom Cruise's missus plus the rights to Arthur Miller's 1940s award-winner? Said Eric Falkenstein...:

"As for Katie, director Simon McBurney, my casting director and I came up with a list of names. Katie's not really a celebrity type. She's done brilliant work in films like 'Pieces of April' and 'The Ice Storm.' And is perfect for the role. 'Ann' starts as a simple, sweet, average Midwesterner, and by the finale gets up the gumption to stand and confront what's wrong. A natural sweetheart who can sniff out phonies, Katie basically has that exact moral fiber.

"She's represented by a team at CAA who knew me from past productions, so it just took time - about four months - to work out. There were also family issues. She and Tom are committed to keeping the family together, so they have to get an apartment here.

katie holmes HAS GOT TO STOP CUTTING HER HAIR. my gosh. how many hair cuts has she had in a year?

I didn't see pieces of April, but heard that it was HORRIBLE...goofy and weird at the same time, just like the Cruises. The girl can't act in movies, so put her on BROADWAY?? I just don't understand THAT logic. I for one,wouldn't waste my money to see it.

Wouldn't waste a cent to see it either. It's obvious that she got the part because Tom either paid someone to give it to her or it was a favor to him. Some people have no self-respect. It's obvious that she's just another no talent, golddigger that couldn't make it on her own.

Looks like he is succeeding in getting Kaie away from the devilish influence of Posh.

He looks like he's wearing blush in that photo.

Seems to me Katie is a sweetheart. You got to be a sweetheart to get along with Tom.
