Does that make Tom Cruise Mr. President?
They’re both beautiful brunette style icons with powerful, handsome husbands. When you look at the similarities, really, how can Katie Holmes NOT play Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis?
Tom Cruise’s 31-year-old wife will star as the former First Lady in The Kennedys, an 8-part mini-series airing on HISTORY in 2011.
Greg Kinnear will play Katie’s main man, John F. Kennedy, while Barry Pepper will star as Attorney General Robert Kennedy; rounding out the cast is Tom Wilkinson as Ambassador Joe Kennedy, Sr.
But forget about the guys — we can’t wait to see what Katie will wear! Here’s hoping you like pearls and chignons, Ms. Holmes! Your 4-year-old daughter, Suri, is going to just LOVE playing dress-up in your new closet!

an honor to play onnasis and i hope she does well… but what does it say that she’s getting gigs from the history channel? anything? i guess to be in greg kinnear’s company isn’t a bad thing. i wonder how big of a part it is in the storyline they go with? is it just me, or does this role choice scream of tom’s picking and maneuvering? well, i hope she does well and it puts more smiles on her face b/c i feel like i never see her smiling anywhere.
