She has also played on Broadway in a production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons and had various guest roles on television programs such as How I Met Your Mother.  On November 18, 2006, Holmes and Tom Cruise were married.  Unfortunately, on July 9, 2012, it was announced the couple signed a divorce settlement worked out by their lawyers.  In early March 2011, Holmes filed a $50-million libel lawsuit against Star magazine following a cover story which insinuated that she took drugs.  The suit was settled on April 27, 2011, when Star wrote a public apology in the May 6, 2011, issue along with an undisclosed "substantial" donation to Holmes' charity Dizzy Feet Foundation.  In June 2011, Holmes received the Women in Film Max Mara Face of the Future Award.  In 2005, TV Guide ranked Holmes No. 38 on its "50 Sexiest Stars of All Time" list.

From Teen Drama to a Fashion Award

The fashion marker in this profile is unusually direct: an award sponsored by Max Mara, given by Women in Film, that names a face of the future. It caps a career that began with five years as Joey Potter — a role that made Holmes's clothes a reference point for a generation of teenage viewers — and continued through a deliberately mixed film list, from the art house Ice Storm to the blockbuster Batman Begins. The Broadway turn in All My Sons adds the stage credit that teen-drama leads rarely collect.
