Katie
stars as Joey Potter on Dawson's Creek and has also starred
in several big screen movies, "Go", "Teaching
Mrs.Tingle" and "Disturbing Behavior". Like
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Katie was slated for stardom even before
she left her teen years.
For her generation,
Katie is considered among the most talented actresses, with
the best chances of surviving the post-WB teenybopper years.
With her strict upbringing, in the age of obsessed teenage
celebrities, Katie playing an innocent young woman isn't much
of a stretch. |
Her rise to fame coincided
with the success of Dawson's Creek, where she plays the sweet and
naïve Joey.
Katie is youngest of five
children, with three older sisters and an older brother. She was
born December 18, 1978, in Toledo, Ohio. Her mother, Kathy, enrolled
her in the Margaret O'Brien's Modeling School in Toledo, which ultimately
led Katie to her present career. Katie was educated at the Notre
Dame Academy, an all girls Catholic high school.
Katie got her start by attending
a modeling convention in New York City. During the convention, a
talent scout from Los Angeles approached Katie and encouraged her
to spend the rest of the summer in California auditioning. Katie
was off to Hollywood with her mother, despite her father's skepticism.
It took Katie only one audition before she was cast in "The
Ice Storm", as Tobey Maguire's girlfriend.
Katie got her big break when
she was immediately cast in the Dawson's Creek series that received
rave reviews, even before its premiere. With the success of Dawson's
Creek and its popularity among teens, Katie was then cast in the
thriller "Disturbing Behavior" in 1998, and the following
summer, two feature films, "Go", and as the heroine in
"Teaching Mrs. Tingle".
Katie is currently living
in Wilmington, NC, where the television series is filmed. She has
deferred her acceptance to Columbia University until she has more
time in her hectic acting schedule with Dawson's Creek. Katie received
Sweden's Expressen Fredag's "Babe of the Year" in 1998.
