Kate Hudson (full name is Kate Harry Hudson), an American actress, was born April 19, 1979 in Los Angeles, California.
Kate's father, Bill Hudson, a film actor, screenwriter and composer, did not spend much of his time raising his daughter, he mostly disappeared in the pavilions, starring in the next film. A little more time was spent with the girl by her mother, film actress, Hollywood star, Goldie Hawn. The origin of the mother is associated with Jewish immigrants from Hungary who immigrated to the United States. Bill Hudson had family ties with the Italian merchant family, and on the maternal side he had ancestors who lived in England.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
Kate's parents soon divorced, and Goldie Hawn began to independently raise Kate and her older brother Oliver. At that time, the actress began an affair with the famous actor Kurt Russell, and when Goldie got a divorce, he began to visit her house quite often. Kate and Oliver were happy to communicate with Russell, because he took a sincere part in their lives and even sometimes engaged in the education of naughty Kate Hudson. In the end, the children began to call Kurt a father, and thus a new Hollywood family was formed, especially since the real father, Bill Hudson, showed no interest in his children, did not visit them and did not even call.
Set
When Kate grew up, her mother assigned her to the Crossroads School, which was located in Santa Monica, west of Los Angeles. The girl studied well, but she was not attracted to the exact sciences - mathematics with physics. From childhood, she was impressed by the magical atmosphere of the filming pavilions of the Metro-Golden-Mayer film studio, where Kate often came with her mother. She especially remembered the episodes from the movie "Overboard", in which Goldie Hawn played a major role. And already familiar to the girl, Kurt Russell played the main male role, the carpenter Dean Profit.
At that time, Kate was eight years old, and, perhaps, the childhood impressions received on the set predetermined her future fate. In addition, the girl was delighted with meeting the charismatic director Harry Marshall, who was shooting the film "Overboard". And when, after three years in Hollywood, the shooting of the film "Pretty Woman" began, Kate could not understand why the role of Vivienne Ward was played not by her mother, but "some" Julia Roberts. The girl even tried to "talk" with Harry Marshall, but Goldie managed to distract her from this venture.
Future actress
As a result of all these impressions and unrest in the stormy ocean of passions called "Cinema", young Kate Hudson, after leaving school in 1997, flatly refused to enter New York University. The girl firmly decided to become an actress, especially since by that time she had already managed to star in several movie episodes. The appearance of the future actress was the best fit for the requirements of cinema, and Kate Hudson, whose height was 168 cm, began to improve her natural data.
First nominations
Luck turned to Kate in 2000 when she played Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe's film "Almost Famous." Kate received her first Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. It was the dizzying success of the aspiring actress, and she felt herself a worthy successor to the work of her mother, the movie star Goldie Hawn.
Historical subjects
After the role of Penny Lane, the already held actress Kate Hudson, whose filmography contained only one picture, began to receive invitations to participate in various film projects. And since there were many offers, Kate had to make a choice. In 2002, Hudson abandoned the role of Mary Watson in the movie Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi, as she wanted to play in the historical film Four Feathers by Indian director Shekhar Kapoor. The actress was attracted to the role of Etna Eustace, the bride of the protagonist. After the release of the film "Four Feathers", films featuring Kate Hudson began to gain popularity.
"How to get rid of a guy"
In 2003, Kate Hudson starred in the film directed by Donald Petrie "How to get rid of a guy in 10 days." It was a romantic comedy with a famously twisted plot, shot at the Paramount Pictures film studio. The actress played a major role. Her character - Andy Anderson, a young journalist - received a task from the editor - in 10 days to find a guy and fall in love with him. Then make a series of classic female mistakes, after which the man begins to experience an irresistible desire to disappear. At the end of the experiment, it was necessary to write an article about what a woman should not do if she wants to maintain a relationship with a man.
While Andy Anderson was getting ready to meet, at the same time, advertising agent Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey) makes a bet with his boss, according to which he must find and fall in love with a girl for 10 days. In search of a future “victim”, Benjamin goes to a disco. During the production of the film, director Donald Petrie insisted that genuine diamonds be used in the filming. An Isadore diamond necklace for Andy cost more than $ 5 million, and the total value of the jewelry that was filmed exceeded $ 14 million. Of course, the security of the pavilion was strengthened several times, which significantly increased budget spending. After this film, comedies with Kate Hudson became particularly successful. And gradually, the role of a comedic actress was assigned to her.
Horror
Kate Hudson, whose filmography was quickly replenished with new films, played her next major role in the film “The Key to All Doors” directed by Ian Softley. This action-packed mystical thriller was filmed in 2005. The picture told about the adventures of a nurse Caroline Ellis, who ended up in a mysterious house to serve a sick old man. Amazing transformations took place within the walls of the house, the ritual witchcraft “voodoo” moved the souls of people from one body to another, and this process was completely uncontrollable. The end result in the young body of Caroline was the soul of a decrepit witch, who, due to this transformation, extended her life for several decades.
Adventures
In 2008, the Warner Bros. movie studio made an adventure romance movie called Fool's Gold, in which Kate Hudson, whose filmography already contained 18 films, played a major female role. On the set, she again met with actor Matthew McConaughey, who was approved for the role of the main character, Ben Finnegan. The character of Kate, a young woman Tess Finnegan, Ben's wife, shares his husband's adventurous aspirations and does not hesitate to go with him in search of sunken treasures. Then the director Andy Tennant tries in every possible way to bring the spirit of genuine adventurism into the picture, and he succeeds. The search for the Spanish galleon, once sunk with a load of gold, was ultimately successful, and Kate Hudson, whose filmography included another picture, began to prepare for the next role. In the next four years, the actress starred in several films, playing supporting roles.
The next picture, in which the actress starred, was "Groom for rent." Kate Hudson played Darcy Ron, a girl easy and reckless, but who also wants simple female happiness.
Personal life
The personal life of actress Kate Hudson is not diverse. Her assets include one marriage and several pleasant acquaintances, which smoothly turned into a relationship without obligations.
Kate was married to a musician named Chris Robinson - from 2000 to 2007. From this marriage, the son of Ryder Russell Robinson, who was born in January 2004, remained. After the divorce, the child remained with the mother.
Immediately after the divorce, Hudson began dating actor Owen Wilson, a not-well-balanced young man who was struggling with quarrels and once even tried to commit suicide after another disagreement with Kate. He decided to repeat the experience of Marilyn Monroe and drank several doses of sleeping pills. For greater fidelity, the upset Wilson opened his veins. Nevertheless, he stayed alive, and even tried to re-establish relations with the actress. But nothing happened, after some time the young people finally parted.
After breaking up with Owen Wilson, Kate immediately took advantage of her freedom and started an affair with the American comic actor Dax Shepard, who at that time was not yet married. The relationship did not last long, because Shepard was fanatically in love with motorcycles and spent his whole life on the track.
After motorcyclist Dax Shepard, Kate Hudson began dating cyclist Lance Armstrong, who, like Dax, was reluctant to get off the saddle. All Kate's acquaintances, which were sporting in nature, as a rule, did not end there. She was tired of it, and the next actress hobby was the leading musician of the Muse band Matthew Bellamy. In early 2011, the couple wanted to announce their engagement, but instead had to announce the imminent birth of a child. And, indeed, Kate and Matthew soon had a son named Bingham Hawn Bellamy.
