Holmes is close to her family and says she has always looked up to her 3 older sisters: the trio went to New York to support the actress during her latest Broadway show Our Town

Hollywood actress Katie Holmes garnered rave reviews for her most recent appearance on Broadway. The star played Mrs Webb in director Kenny Leon’s production of Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, which ended its run in late January. Also starring in the play were The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and Something from Tiffany’s Zoey Deutch.

Supporting Holmes on two consecutive nights during the run were her parents, Martin and Kathleen Holmes, and her sisters Nancy, Holly and Tamera. Katie, who is the youngest of the clan, thanked her family for their attendance, sharing a rare photo of all of them together on Instagram. Holmes also has an elder brother, Martin Jr, but he was not present for the photo.

So, what else do we know about Katie Holmes’ three lookalike sisters, who reportedly inspire the actress?

As the baby of the Holmes household, the Dawson’s Creek star relied on her sisters for life advice. In a 2016 interview with Hello! Magazine, Holmes revealed that before going on her first date, her “older and wiser” sisters cautioned her against ordering spaghetti. “They said that would be embarrassing because noodles could fly all over the place,” she recalled.

In another interview with Into The Gloss, Holmes revealed that there was a time when she was so reluctant to wash her hair that her sisters had to pay her to do it. They also took charge of her glow-up for homecoming and even filmed her transformation.

What do they do for work?
