Who is Kate Hudson?

Kate Hudson is a talented actress best known for her role as Penny lane in the Hollywood movie ‘Almost Famous’ which earned her an Academy Award nomination. Born into a family of film personalities she seemed to be destined for limelight—her mother is the famous film actress Goldie Hawn while her father is the comedian Bill Hudson. She loved performing from a young age and would jump at any chance to sing and dance on stage. Her parents ensured she received dance lessons and she also trained with the Santa Monica Playhouse as a child. She began acting as a teenager when she was offered a guest spot on the T.V. drama ‘Party of Five’ in 1996. She was accepted into New York University but the feisty youngster decided that she was more interested in pursuing a career in show business rather than in earning a degree. After acting in some minor films that gave her no visibility, she landed the role that would prove to be her career breakthrough. She was chosen to play Penny Lane in the comedy drama ‘Almost Famous’ which in spite of being a box office failure garnered positive reviews and introduced the rising star to the film world.

Career

She began her television career when she bagged the role of Cory in an episode of the teen drama television series ‘Party of Five’ in 1996. She appeared in one episode of the television drama series ‘EZ Streets’ the next year.

In one of her first film roles, she starred as a rising Hollywood starlet in the comedy drama ‘Desert Blue’ in 1998. The movie was a minor one and did not do much to launch her career.

She got the opportunity to be a part of the ensemble cast of the comedy drama ‘200 Cigarettes’ in 1999, which also included the actors Ben Affleck, Courtney love, Paul Rudd and Elvis Costello. However, the film was a flop.

After these failures she became more careful in choosing her roles and appeared in the romantic comedy ‘Bride Wars’ and musical romance ‘Nine’ in 2009. The former was a huge commercial hit while the later was a critically acclaimed film; she received several award nominations for both.
