Oh, poor, poor Katie Holmes. Granted, she's rich, attractive, and probably has a pretty comfy life with Tomcat Cruise-control. However, that life also includes $cientology, so it can't be that great.
Katie Holmes knows how to draw a crowd — including anti-Scientology demonstrators.
Nearly 100 people lined up outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre Thursday night an hour before Holmes acted on Broadway for the first time in a preview performance for “All My Sons.”
Moments before the curtain went up, Holmes’ husband — and Hollywood’s most famous Scientologist — Tom Cruise entered the theater, where he mingled and shook hands with some other theatergoers who took photos and clapped. He then hugged Dustin Hoffman, who was sitting a couple rows away, which drew another cheer inside the theater.
Amid the hubbub, it took awhile for people to take their seats.
Melissa Doyle tried to ignore the ruckus. She said she took her spot in line early, and saw Holmes rush into the theater wearing skinny jeans, a black blazer and oversized sunglasses.
“I love Katie Holmes,” the 27-year-old New Yorker said. “I think she’s a great actress and right now, I really love her for her fashion, her style! I think she really kind of differentiates herself among young Hollywood. Plus, she’s a mom — and I just think she’s a really good role model.”
Meanwhile, 27-year-old Alistair Savides, visiting from St. Louis, said he wasn’t there to see Holmes. He said he’s a fan of Arthur Miller’s drama, which first played on Broadway in 1947.
“I don’t really care about who’s performing as long as they’re good at what they do and it’s a good play,” Savides said.

Well, that's good. Because it might irk some that Homes is now part of a "religion" that is notorious for it's harassment of detractors. Harassment that went as far, in one well known case, as blackmail and trying to frame a known author for a crime she didn't commit. There's also the wonderful little escapade where $cientologists infiltrated the IRS, destroyed documents and copied others during their "Operation: Snow White." The "church" has said that is all in the past, and the "church" has reformed its ways and dropped its "Fair Game" policy. I dunno, some recent vids of $cientologist harassers convinces me otherwise.
