Now comes word that Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut next season, in an upcoming revival of Arthur Miller's 1947 play "All My Sons;" costarring with two time Oscar winner Diane Weist may costar, but John Lithgow is in the cast as well.

Forget about all the silly hype she and husband Tom Cruise have created in the past few years. Give her credit for coming to Broadway, facing a live audience and critics (including this reporter). Stage acting is a much harder discipline and can only improve her as an actress. Holmes plays the part of a woman who visits the family of the pilot she loved, lost in World War II. I'm looking forward to it. Break a leg, Mrs. Cruise.
