The golden-locked dimpled beauty is the daughter
of Oscar winning and lovable actress Goldie Hawn,
and singer comedian Bill Hudson, of The Hudson Brothers
Razzle Dazzle Show fame. A couple of months after
Kate's birth, Bill and Goldie divorced, and the
estranged father has been out of his two children's
(Kate and older brother Oliver) lives ever since.
In 1983, Goldie met actor Kurt Russell, who has
lived with the family for the past 18 years, and
is considered by Kate to be her "Pa".
Taking after her mother's passion, Kate wanted to
act since she was a young girl. But despite her
strong desire for drama, her parents originally
wanted her to take another career path. The prodigy
finally got her first taste in front of the camera
as a stand-in for the 7-year-old actress playing
Goldie's daughter in the 1986 film, Wildcats. After
her graduation from Crossroads School of Arts and
Sciences, Kate was accepted to NYU's Tisch School
of Drama. But rather than taking her skills to the
classes and student theater productions, she went
straight for the real deal: Hollywood.
It was her role as Band-Aid Penny Lane, with which
Kate captured the hearts and attention of both critics
and audiences alike. Kate was determined to work
with Jerry Maguire director Cameron Crowe ever since
she heard about his upcoming film. Ready to work
as an extra just for the chance to be in his film
(which was finally titled Almost Famous), she fell
in love with the script and especially the role
of Penny Lane.
One of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People,"
Hollywood's latest golden child will next be seen
in the drama, Four Feathers. |
