Katie Holmes has begun shooting her role as Jacqueline Kennedy in the History Channel’s upcoming eight-hour miniseries, The Kennedys.
And what a resemblance: She was spotted on the Ontario, Canada, set, rocking Jackie O's classic bouffant and blue dress with pearls.
In the small screen project, Greg Kinnear plays President John F. Kennedy, while Barry Pepper stars as Robert Kennedy.
PHOTOS: Sexy screen sirens, then and now!
Tell Us: Does Katie make a good Jackie O?
Tell Us What You Think
58I know that Angelina loved and adored her Mother several years before her Mom passed away. That's good. It's obvious that she has had a troubled life. However, she appears to be happy and content at this time, and is a great Mother to her precious children.
Katie, please tell your publicist to stop littering the comment posts with fake defenses, and praises of your acting skills. Most of us saw "thank you for smoking" and quite frankly, cant take it anymore. Mercy!!!
I can hardly wait to see this miniseries. She looks identical to Jackie !
Slouching with a sweater slopped up against her stomach, glazed eyes from whatever the Scientologists are making her study and/or do to her body, and no grace in her movements at all? KATIE, YOU ARE NO JACKIE KENNEDY.
What a joke!!
huh? Katie Holmes beautiful and elegant? Ugh! It's actually the opposite! someone has very bad taste. LOL
Katie Holmes....beautiful and elegant?? OMG.....someone on this board has very bad taste. LOL Katie can't even dress herself out of a paperbag!
Katie Holmes is obviously buyin herself work. no one would have honestly cast her in this roles. Notice they crop the picture at the hem. Why? Uh, Jackie Kennedy was very slim and graceful. How are they going to film around Katie Holmes's clunky legs and crooked smirked?? This is mind boggling.
Most of you Katie dissers out there can only dream of ever being as beautiful and elegant as Katie Holmes. And, if she chooses postpone having more children while she makes movies, how is than any of your business? Anybody with an ounce of brains can see that Suri looks like a perfect blend of both Katie and Tom, so get over yourselves and worry about who fathered your own kids.
AT THIS POINT, I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE ANYONE ELSE, PLAY THE ROLE. KATIE POSSESSES THAT REAL SENSE OF GOODNESS, DESPERATELY NEEDED.
In the Photo shown, she looks remarkably like the young Jackie. I am surprised.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!she's preggers?!
OMG! at first I was against her playing the roll but now seeing the resemblence Im getting excited. i love Jackie O she was American Royalty and I hope this movie does her justice!
She makes a great Jackie O. I always thought she looked like Jackie.
Jackie Kennedy was beautiful and elegant. Katie Holmes is the perfect choice to play her.
Barry Pepper as Bobby Kennedy??? Puh-leeze. They look NOTHING alike! Actually, none of the actors look like the roles they're playing. ARgh!
I'm surprised how much she does look like her, and I held no hope that she would. Well done to the makeup and wardrobe depts, now can she act? I suppose Jackie was a meek controlled women with a small voice overshadowed by her husband so maybe Katie understands the role better than we think.
sorry, Jacqueline Kennedy had an elegance Katie Holmes does not possess!
Not a Katie fan, but the resemblence is incredible! I can't wait for the movie.
Katie Holmes is beautiful and elegant, and is perfect for the role of Jackie Kennedy.
