Katie Holmes who's never remarried faces uncertain future as daughter Suri heads to college and payments from ex Tom Cruise come to an end - after a series of career flops

Dropping your child off at university is an undoubtedly emotional experience for any parent - but returning home to an empty nest might be harder for Katie Holmes than most.
