Austin’s Katie Holland on ‘Army Wives’ tonight
She’s finally maid it! Former Austinite Katie Holland (in the maid costume) on Lifetime’s ‘Army Wives’.
Class of 2003 Austin High Red Dragon Players staple Katie Holland, 24, makes her television debut tonight on Lifetime’s popular ‘Army Wives’. The actress appears in a couple of sexy outfits when the main wives — who think they are attending an at-home housewares party — find themselves at a “spice up your marriage” affair.
Holland, who used to gather up the neighborhood kids to put on plays, now lives outside of Charleston, South Carolina where the series is filmed. “I have always loved theater, have loved acting, ever since I can remember,” she says.
Holland’s mother, who you can bet will be glued to the television Sunday night (“this is a big deal,” she says, “I’ve already bought the champagne”) verifies her daughter’s ambitions. “Katie’s wanted to be an actress since she was about 3,” she says. “It was evident early on.”
Hollands’ theatrical ambitions have been supported throughout her education at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York, her appearances off-Broadway and independent films, and her move to South Carolina, where she performs with a theater group called Reverve. There, Holland was awarded Best of Charleston 2009; New Talent, for a show called ‘Dog Sees God; Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead’.
“We are thrilled and so proud that she had the gumption to go against the grain and follow her dream,” her mom says.
Catch Holland on “Army Wives” at 9 p.m. tonight on Lifetime and in repeats throughout the week. You can watch a trailer for tonight’s episode by clicking here.
