7. Katie Holmes
Back in 1998, when Katie Holmes’ caught the world’s attention as the beautiful but lonely Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek,” she was instantly dubbed the “It Girl.” She was everywhere – on the cover of magazines including Seventeen, TV Guide and Rolling Stone and in movies like “Disturbing Behavior,” “Go” and “Wonder Boys.” Much like other “It Girls” on our list, Holmes didn’t really capitalize on her early success. After she landed the part of Rachel Dawes in “Batman Begins,” she married Tom Cruise and took a break from acting. It’s safe to say that her career will never be what it once was.
