IMTA alum Katie Holmes on the cover Hungarian Marie Claire!

IMTA Alum Katie Holmes is on the cover of Marie Claire! It's the Hungarian February 2012 edition! Katie competed at IMTA twice, in 1993 and 1995. She returned a couple of years later to present awards at IMTA and debuted the first fifteen minutes of the pilot episode of Dawson's Creek. The entire ballroom was riveted by this ground-breaking stylish teen drama and Katie received thunderous applause! On that special night, she gave us a very nice interview saying:

"Let's just say a girl from Toledo, Ohio wouldn't end up cast

in a Hollywood movie if it weren't for IMTA!"

You can read a darling letter from Katie Holmes from the IMTA Archives right here exclusively on THAT IMTA BLOG!

IMTA Spotlights...

Feature Film and Television Star

Katie Holmes...

Katie Holmes attended the IMTA New York Convention in July '95. She signed with Onorato/Guillod Entertainment and was cast in the Ang Lee feature film, The Ice Storm with Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver and IMTA discovery Elijah Woods, which is slated for a summer release. Katie has recently been cast in the lead role in a new television series "Dawson's Creek" which will air this fall. We have just received the following letter from her and felt it was so incredible that we wanted to share it:

"For years I have spent some time sitting in front of the television from 7:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. listening intently to John Tesh and Mary Hart inform me about which star was filming what new movie, who was dating who, and who was the rising new actor or actress. Hollywood and its numerous success stories seemed extremely far away and definitely from a world that I would never come into contact with.

On July 23, 1995 my life changed. This particular Sunday evening, I found myself in the New York Hilton for the International Modeling and Talent Association Convention. I was sitting in one of the ballrooms reciting a monologue in front of about 50 other contestants, as well as Al Onorato, David Guillod and Bobby Moresco, the men who were conducting this seminar on "Prepare to Compete. After I had finished, Al and Bobby offered some direction and had me alter it a little. I used my nervous anxiety to help me become more intense and, following my second performance, I felt elated. It was clear to me that something very special occurred in that ballroom that evening.

About six months later, I found myself in the Los Angeles office of Al Onorato, rehearsing an audition piece for the Ang Lee film The Ice Storm. David, Al and Bobby had become my business managers following that memorable convention and encouraged me to audition in Los Angeles during the 6-week pilot season. Instead of viewing Hollywood on my T.V., I was there. Being in that untouchable world, experiencing the life of a beginning actress, was surreal. Suddenly this strange path of life seemed so normal. I love it.

My experience grew even more unbelievable. On May 21, 1996 I found myself in a trailer on Park Avenue in New York City, getting my hair and make-up done in order to transform myself into a teenager from 1973. I was anxiously waiting to begin filming The Ice Storm. Suddenly, I was part of Hollywood. I was then inside the walls of the business instead of remaining a curious outsider gazing in, struggling to discover what exactly takes place on the inside. I found myself chatting with actors whom I had read about for several years. After receiving directions by the highly acclaimed Hollywood director, Ang Lee, and talking to Kevin Kline for a substantial amount of time, it was time to begin becoming a professional actress.

My rather eventful and definitely memorable year provided me with such valuable life-long lessons that will forever remain a part of me. Fortunately, I was able to work with extremely focused, conscientious people who are completely unconcerned with the Hollywood myth. They work hard at their jobs and then retreat home to their families. I discovered that the Hollywood portrayed on Entertainment Tonight of exciting parties, premieres, galas, etc. is a distortion. The Hollywood I came into contact with is one of extremely talented people who spend their time participating in acting workshops, auditions, films, etc. in order to perfect their craft. The highly respected actors and directors are solely concerned with their work and concentrate on ways to improve. Although "Tinsletown" continues to be a mystery to all and several have benefited from the fortunate fate that seems to occur only in Hollywood, it remains to be true that even in Hollywood, those who diligently work hard are the people who achieve true and long-lasting success."

Katie Holmes attended the 2012 'Vanity Fair' Oscar Party wearing her hair in a long sleek ponytail with lash-grazing bangs. Katie Holmes' Straight, Sophisticated, Brunette Ponytail with Bangs is a great look if you've got bangs. To get Katie Holmes' hairstyle, apply straightening balm to damp hair, and blow dry straight using a paddle brush.
Once your hair is completely dry, run a flat iron over your hair to get it extra straight. Be sure to straighten your bangs too, for an edgy look. Brush all of your hair up into a high ponytail, and secure it with an elastic. Apply a few drops of shine serum to your palms and run them over your hair (and bangs) for a sleek finish.

Hair category: Casual
Hair Elasticity: Wavy
Hair Length: Long
Hair Color: Brunette
Hair Density: Medium/Thin
Hair Texture: Medium/Fine
Face Shape: Round, Heart, Triangular and Oval
Hairstyle: Long Wavy Hairstyle
Hairstyling Time: Approx 20 to 25 minutes

Katie Holmes opted for a LBD for the premiere of 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.' She finished off the look with loose shiny curls and gold nails. The longer layers of this style help to create beautiful thick curls, and adding more layers at the bottom will give more slightly defined curls.
To re-create this hairstyle, wash your hair, then towel-dry hair. Blow dry hair, using a round brush to curl your ends. Divide hair into medium sized sections, and delicately curl each using a curling iron. Finger comb your hair to loosen the curls. In the end apply a minimal amount of hair spray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back.

Hair category: Casual
Hair Elasticity: Straight
Hair Length: Short
Hair Color: Brunette
Hair Density: Medium/Thin
Hair Texture: Medium/Fine
Face Shape: Round, Heart, Triangular and Oval
Hairstyle: Short Bob Hairstyle
Hairstyling Time: Approx 20 to 25 minutes

Katie Holmes's short hair gave her a sophisticated look instantly. It's soft and elegant, with a little flair. Her hair length was cut around her chin and soft layering was added around her mid-lengths and ends to take the weight out and to create a flexible shape around her face. This style will be easy to maintain with regular trims. To get Katie Holmes' hairstyle, apply a straightening cream to damp hair and blow dry your hair straight with a paddle brush.
Use a flat iron to straighten your hair. Tease your hair at the back of the crown of your head with a comb. Make a side-part and tuck hair behind your ear. Use your smoothing shine to add a small amount of gloss and to reduce fly-aways. To finish, apply a minimal amout of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back.
