  • Story Text: Katie Holmes talks about having husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri on set while making "Mad Money" at the Los Angeles premiere.
    Katie Holmes and husband Tom Cruise graced the red carpet in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 9) for the premiere of her film
    "Mad Money," co- starring Diane Keaton , and Queen Latifah.
    "I felt so lucky, Not a lot of people get to have that experience," Holmes said about having Cruise and baby Suri on set.
    "I always felt very appreciative of working in the movies and working on television and then I had Suri and I married Tom and to have them there it was like 'Oh this is a billion times better what was I doing before you know?' So it was wonderful."
    Back before she became Mrs. Tom Cruise , and way before she became mom to the most photographed baby in the world, Katie Holmes used to be an actress.
    While we haven't seen her on-screen (large or small) since "Dawson's Creek" or "Thank You for Smoking" Holmes is back and starring in the upcoming comedy.
    "Well you know what I've been a fan of Diane's forever," Holmes, dressed in a silver Armani strapless dress, said. "The chance to work with her is unbelievable and I love Callie and Queen Latifah. I just thought to be in a movie with all these women creating together I love that and it's surpassed my vision of it was so much fun. It was even better then I thought."
    Keaton's the nominal lead as a middle-class housewife who, when her husband played by Ted Danson gets laid off, is forced to take a job as a janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank.
    "Incredibly generous, sweet, thoughtful of everyone around them," Danson said of having Cruise and Holmes on set. "It was a real pleasure to be with them. They were generous to me, they were generous to the crew. I am huge fan of both of them. Please quote me. "
    Latifah and Holmes play her fellow employees and partners in crime.
    It's directed by Callie Khouri who won an Oscar for her very first screenplay: Thelma and Louise.
    "I love Queen Latifah she is a strong women and I represent strong women and I have been a supporter for years," Mary J. Blige said before going in to see the movie.
    "Mad Money" opens nationwide in the United States on January 18th .
