Especially during her daughter’s early years, the last thing Katie Holmes wanted to do was go back to work. “I totally admire women who go back to work six weeks after giving birth, but when she was little, I was not ready,” the actress told DuJour. “I was a very nervous mother — like, sleeping next to her crib — and I was in that mode for a long time.” But then, this also wasn’t the only reason. “You have dry spells, and then you have times when there is a lot of opportunity,” Holmes also pointed out.
Following her divorce, however, there was a great deal of opportunity for Holmes, and the single mother was ready to grab it. This included the sci-fi drama “The Giver,” which tells the story of a young man who is chosen to learn about the “real world” away from his seemingly perfect community. Aside from Holmes, the film boasts a cast that also includes Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Odeya Rush, and Taylor Swift.
Aside from “The Giver,” Holmes also joined the cast of the ensemble dramedy “Days and Nights,” which also starred Allison Janney, Jean Reno, and the late William Hurt. The actress also reunited with Helen Mirren for the biopic “Woman in Gold,” in which she played Ryan Reynolds’ wife.
