Thanks to ememkay for these pics :) Well, it looks like Katie needs to find a new Starbucks...the paparazzi have the one in Beverly Hills staked out: I love this picture. It's like she's trying to catch imaginary snowflakes...or maybe this is a message to the photographer: While this interview with TSD director Keith Gordon is more than 5 months old, I don't remember posting it. This can also be a reminder that The Singing Detective arrives on DVD this coming Tuesday (in region 1). RB: I understand you weren't all that familiar with Katie Holmes when you cast her (in a small role as a nurse who gives Downey ointment rub-downs that turn into song-filled sexual fantasies). KG: That's true. Katie was actually Robert and Mel's suggestion. I thought she looked great, but I'd never seen "Dawson's Creek," and I'd happened to have missed her movies, so I literally didn't know who she was other than a woman I'd seen some photos of. But then I saw "Go," I saw "Wonder Boys," I saw "The Gift," and what impressed me was the range she has for such a young actress. Usually, if you're young and beautiful, you just do your thing. But she clearly wanted to play characters. She clearly wanted to be different from role to role, and that counted a lot for me. And then the fact that Robert liked her and was comfortable working with her -- because Robert was coming off of three years of not working, you know? He was scared -- this was an impossible role, you know? What a difficult role to take on. So if he knew someone and liked them, that counted for a lot. Then I met Katie, and she was so smart and so nice, and she got all the ideas. She got the themes to the piece, which a lot of young actresses didn't. A lot of young actresses came in to read and you could tell they didn't get it. They didn't get what it was about, and she did. She was very easy to work with too. "Pieces of April," she's so different in that too. She's really interesting. Each thing she does, she challenges herself and I hope she keeps doing that. Link to full interview Thanks to katiejowitter for letting us know that Katie is in the April edition of Aussie Vogue. Here is the link to someone who is selling the magazine on ebay: Aussie Vogue If any of our Aussie Katie fans could scan that for us and email me, you will be a hero :)
