That's what bothers me about commenters blaming Tommy for this.  It supports Katie's family's assumption that her career is ruined solely because of Tommy.  I think her career took a quicker nosedive due to her connection with him but I also think she's gotten a handful of roles because of his influence and/or money that she never would have been considered for otherwise.  
  


This whole idea that somehow she could have this great career if not for him frustrates me to no end. Sorry Roger Friedman (as he has been the biggest critic to have put out this theory), but that's simply not true. As it was told me to via a friend whose stepfather was a big producer back in the day, the reason Katie Holmes is not getting roles is because she is a 'lousy actress'-period. Insiders knew Tommy Girl was as mad as a basket of snakes for years but they tolerated it because 1. he made money 2. as hard as it may be to believe, he was not even close to being one of the most difficult people to work with in Hollywood. Not by a long-shot.

If people wanted to work with Katie Holmes, they would. FWIW, I don't think Tommy is on a mission to wreck her career. He may not want anyone to eclipse him, but I don't think he has the motivation to do that.

Perhaps her parents believe that once this over DD will be like Kidman and her career will take off, but that just ain't gonna happen.
