The Slutty Pumpkin on How I Met Your Mother is officially unmasked. CBS has confirmed that Katie Holmes is cast on the role of the woman whom Ted met at a Halloween party wearing a pumpkin costume with strategically placed holes in the first season of the show.Ted lost touch with her after Lily accidentally tossed her phone number, so Ted went to the same party over years in hope to see her again. Ted, however, has not had a chance to have another encounter with her until this seventh season, in an upcoming special Halloween episode.Speaking of Holmes casting for the role, creator Craig Thomas told New York Magazines Vulture, Katie is a lovely and talented actress, which is why weve saved for her perhaps the most classily named character in our shows history. He added that the role was literally six seasons in the making.Holmes last appeared on a weekly TV series as recurring character Grace on ABCs Eli Stone in 2008. The 32-year-old wife of Tom Cruise, however, recently graced small screen through miniseries The Kennedys in which she takes the role of Jackie Kennedy.
