Kate Hudson - Biography - IMDb Kate Hudson Biography Showing all 84 items Jump to: Overview (4) | Mini Bio (1) | Spouse (1) | Trade Mark (1) | Trivia (56) | Personal Quotes (13) | Salary (8) Overview (4) 5' 6" (1.68 m) Mini Bio (1) Almost everyone who has spent time with Kate Hudson -including directors, family members, co-stars and interviewers - is quick to comment on her ability to light up a room. Through some combination of a winning smile, solid work ethic, and good old-fashioned talent, the young actress has gone from indie beginner to Vanity Fair cover girl in just three years. What's more, she's done it all without capitalizing on the success of legendary actress mom, Goldie Hawn . Kate Hudson was born in Los Angeles, California, to Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson , a comedian, actor and musician. She was raised by her mother and her mother's partner, actor Kurt Russell , whom she considers to be her father.

Kate is the sister of actor Oliver Hudson , the half-sister of actor and hockey player Wyatt Russell , and the granddaughter of band musician Rut Hawn . Kate is of Hungarian Jewish (from her maternal grandmother), Italian (from her paternal grandmother), English, and German ancestry. By all accounts, Hudson was a born performer - as a child she danced and sang at every opportunity. Her family hoped that she would attend New York University after graduating from high school, but she opted to get her feet wet in the professional acting world first. She made her big-screen debut as an ambitious young starlet stranded in a tiny California town in Desert Blue (1998). Her next two films, while critically panned, made it into wider release: 200 Cigarettes (1999) (in which she played an earnest but accident-prone ditz) and Gossip (2000) (which cast her as a rich, virginal college student). Perhaps Hudson's biggest break was landing the role of rock groupie (or "Band Aide") Penny Lane in Almost Famous (2000).

The part was originally intended for Sarah Polley ; when Polley backed out to pursue another project, director Cameron Crowe considered scrapping the film altogether. Hudson, who had been cast in a smaller role (as William's stewardess sister), begged for a chance to read for Penny. Crowe was impressed, Hudson got the part, and the show went on. As much as Tinseltown gossipmongers would like to put them at odds, mother and daughter agree that Hawn is one of Hudson's biggest supporters. - IMDb Mini Biography By: IMDb Editors Spouse (1) Charismatic energy Trivia (56) Daughter of Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn , but she was raised by Goldie's longtime partner, Kurt Russell , whom she considers and treats as her biological father.

When she was 11, her mother relented and got her an audition for a lead role in a never-produced television show with Howie Mandel . Hudson won the part - but Hawn didn't tell her, turned it down, and kept the secret until she admitted it a year later. She turned down what could have been her big break, a role in Escape from L.A.

Personal Quotes (13) I have zero problems when people say, "God, you look like your mother". I go, "Well, great! Thanks!" I'm a hippie at heart. I wear the clothes, and they're the best. And the music is incredible, too. Everyday, I tell my husband, "Maybe we should cash in. I'll make handmade lotion and you can write music and sell it on the Internet". [on making Raising Helen (2004)] The sweetest moment was when the kids were done and when we finished with the kids. It was just so emotional. And I looked at Abby [ Abigail Breslin , who plays five-year-old Sarah] and she was crying. I mean it was so difficult. We just hugged forever and I told them I loved them. And it was just... it really made the whole experience that much more special; to know that those kids took something from that experience. [on her co-stars in Raising Helen (2004)] It was great.

They were so professional and yet, still kids. Abigail [ Abigail Breslin who played Bo] was so adorable and so good. She cried at the drop of a hat. She was so focused. When she had to do what she had to do, she really worked hard at it. And Spencer Breslin was hysterical. And Hayden Panettiere is at that age that I remember so well--13-ish--where you want to be an adult and want to be taken seriously, but people don't treat you like it, so you overcompensate. I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not... Well, I don't run out to see them. I'm Jewish and this was the first time I experienced real anti-Semitism. Paris was scary...there were synagogues bombed and there was anti-Semitic graffiti all over the place. I was very angry. This is something I am passionate about. [about paparazzi photographing her and her son when he is present] It bothers me, it bothers my parents. Ryder doesn't know what that is. He's four years old. It's aggressive, it's bizarre and it makes him self-conscious.

And kids should always be kids, they should never be self-conscious of what they're doing. That should be illegal. [about being mistaken for other actresses] I was in this furniture store with Ryder [her son] and this woman, said, "I know who you are-- Gwyneth Paltrow . And I was like, "Yeah". Gwyneth and I look nothing alike. If I'm not feeling good, I load on lots of jewelry. It gives me energy and makes me feel kind of happy. [on Almost Famous (2000)] One of my favorite experiences. One, because I love Cameron Crowe . And two, because it was just such a wonderful movie. The whole thing was overwhelming - in the best way. Only in failure do you reach success. You can only get to the good stuff when you've done the hard stuff. I want my sons to respect women, and that starts with me. If a man respects his mom, you know she's done something right.

Salary (8) Kate Hudson Calling Kurt Russell 'Dad' Is Painful, Says Biological Father Bill Hudson | The Huffington Post Kate Hudson Calling Kurt Russell 'Dad' Is Painful, Says Biological Father Bill Hudson 01/25/2012 11:56 am ET | Updated Jan 25, 2012 370 Why is actress Kate Hudson's biological father bringing up things that were said more than a decade ago? Kate, 32, began calling Kurt Russell, "dad," soon after he began dating her mother, Goldie Hawn, in 1983. Despite this, Kate's biological father, Bill Hudson tells RadarOnline , it's still painful to hear his daughter call another man her father. "At first it was okay when everybody was getting along, but there were certain things I didn't like," he told the website. "I didn't like that Goldie wanted the kids to call Kurt 'pa.' It was very confusing to the kids, particularly Kate, and that was really painful." But Kate didn't seem confused when she told Vanity Fair in 2000 , "[Bill Hudson] doesn't know me from a hole in the wall.

But I don't care. I have a dad [Russell]. The bottom line is, you call your kids on their f**king birthday. I'm glad I had a dad who was there on my birthday." Those comments led to Hudson breaking a 20-year silence telling the New York Daily News that he was not going to be vilified anymore. And accused his daughter and ex-wife of ruining his reputation for publicity. Yet it's Bill Hudson, who 12 years later is still speaking out about the family he's been estranged from since 1980, and even recently released a tell-all book , titled "2 Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family." In his book Hudson, among other things, called his daughter a spoiled brat, writing : "I love Kate, but ... She has done stuff which is just awful. She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother." With Bill Hudson pushing his book, it looks like he's the one seeking publicity -- telling RadarOnline that he's hurt Kate has publicly said he abandoned her, claiming it's not true.

What is true however, is that Kate regularly refers to Kurt Russell as her dad , but Bill seems to be plainly ignoring the fact that Kate hasn't spoken about her biological father in years. Hollywood's most controversial parents: Kate Hudson's real father Bill claims Goldie Hawn had an affair with Warren Beatty | Daily Mail Online comments Allegations: Kate Hudson's real father has claimed her mother Goldie Hawn had an affair with Warren Beatty Kate Hudson's real father has claimed her mother Goldie Hawn had several affairs while they were married - including with Hollywood heavyweight Warren Beatty. Bill Hudson makes the allegations in his explosive new memoir Two Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family in which he also labels his A-list daughter a 'spoiled brat'. The former musician divorced the actress when Kate and her brother Oliver were children and has not been in contact with them for years. Kate, 32, has said she sees her mother's long-time partner Kurt Russell as her father. Bill claimed Goldie, 65, once admitted cheating on him with Warren, her co-star from the 1975 comedy Shampoo.

He also claimed she owned up to another affair with French actor Yves Renier, and begged him for an open relationship, which he refused. Bill also recounted an apparent conversation where Goldie told him she was seeing a Swedish man called Bruno, and had arranged for him to come and visit her while she was shooting a movie. He claims she told him: 'I’ve been seeing this guy in Sweden. His name is Bruno, and he’s coming to the States on Monday. 'He’s going to stay here for a couple of weeks before I leave to start shooting the movie in Denver with George Segal.' Bill added: 'My mouth dropped open. I didn’t know how to respond. Wait, weren’t we just saying how much we love each other? Didn’t we just make love for days on end? And now you tell me this guy is coming here and staying with you? Are you going to tell him about us?’ More than co-stars? Bill said Goldie and Warren became intimate after shooting their 1975 movie Shampoo Moved on: Goldie pictured with her then-husband Bill in the 1970s and with her long-term partner Kurt 'She glared at me but didn’t say a word.

That was all the answer I needed. "When you are finished with Bruno, you can call me. You have my number." And I left.' After she had apparently met her lover, Bill claimed that she came back to him and begged his forgiveness. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share She sobbed and told him: 'I’m in love with you.

He alleged Kate, who recently gave birth to her second child, neglected her elderly grandmother, his mother, who has Alzheimer's disease. And she hasn't met his daughter from his second marriage.

'I love Kate, but she has done stuff which is just awful,' Bill told RadarOnline. 'She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister.

Kate, who is engaged to Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, said in 2000 that her biological father 'doesn't know me from a hole in the wall'. She added: 'But I don't care. I have a dad. The bottom line is, you call your kids on their f****** birthday. I'm glad I had a dad who was there on my birthday.'

Sharon Osbourne hosts the daytime show The Talk, while daughter Kelly is part of E!'s Fashion Police team. 12. Tracee Ellis Ross and Diana Ross Kathy Hutchins/Hutchins Photo Agency Singing superstar Diana Ross is a tough act to follow-so perhaps it's just as well her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross chose to be an actress, starring in TV shows like CSI and Private Practice. "I've just been very blessed," Diana once said of her five children. "I've been very blessed with these children." 13. Dakota Johnson and Melanie Griffith AKM-GSI Melanie Griffith's daughter Dakota Johnson (her father is actor Don Johnson) followed family tradition by becoming an actress: her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, was one of Hitchcock's cool blondes who starred in Marnie and The Birds.

Johnson, up next in 50 Shades of Grey, was Miss Golden Globe in 2006, just like mom was in 1975. 14. Rumer Willis and Demi Moore Juan Rico/Fame Demi Moore is the mother of three teenage girls (all fathered by actor Bruce Willis). Her eldest, 19-year-old Rumer Willis, has already made a foray into acting, appearing in a handful of television shows and movies, and she has her mom to thank for the decent wage-Moore was one of the first actresses to earn $10 million for a movie role. 15. Schuyler Fisk and Sissy Spacek Gregg DeGuire/FilmMagic Actress Sissy Spacek chose to raise her two children in Virginia rather than Hollywood. It didn't stop them from following her into show business though: Daughter Schuyler Fisk is a singer/songwriter who has appeared in One Tree Hill and Law & Order, and Madison, Spacek's other daughter, is an actress and cinematographer. 16.

Isabella Rossellini & Elettra Fernando Leon/Getty Images Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann has an excellent pedigree: the Lancome model's mom is actress and model Isabella Rossellini (once the face of Lancome too), and her grandmother-Isabella's mother-was movie star Ingrid Bergman. So what's it's like to have a famous mother? "She’s just like anyone else’s mum!" Rossellini Wiedemann has said. 17. Diane Ladd and Laura Dern Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Laura Dern spent her childhood hanging out on movie sets-her mom, actress Diane Ladd, had roles in classics such as Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and Chinatown-so it's not surprising she grew up to become an actress. 18. Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri Jim Smeal/BEImages Susan Sarandon has three children but so far only daughter Eva Amurri (her father is Italian filmmaker Franco Amurri) has ventured into her parents' profession. 19. Chynna and Michelle Phillips Giulio Marcocchi/Sipa Press Apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the Phillips family.

Singer and actress Michelle Phillips was a member of '60s folk group The Mamas and the Papas; her daughter Chynna Phillips was a member of '90s girl-band Wilson Phillips. 20. Ashley, Wynonna and Naomi Judd Alexx Henry/Hallmark Channel The Judd women are nothing if not talented. Matriach Naomi and daughter Wynonna are a country-singing sensation, and Ashley Judd is a renowned Hollywood actress. "I was always told I was special," Ashley has said of growing up with her mom and sister. "And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose." Kate Hudson’s Biological Father Emerges Kate Hudson’s Biological Father Emerges Niki Cruz Bill Hudson, the father who up until now has lived a life of privacy stepped out of the shadows to say that he’s hurt by his famous daughter calling Kurt Russell “dad”. Kate Hudson had started calling Kurt Russell dad shortly after her mother actress Goldie Hawn began dating him in 1983. Now Bill Hudson tells RadarOnline his thoughts on something that happened nearly three decades ago. “At first it was okay when everybody was getting along, but there were certain things I didn’t like.

I didn’t like that Goldie wanted the kids to call Kurt ‘pa,'” Hudson lements on, “It was very confusing to the kids, particularly Kate, and that was really painful.” In a past interview with Vanity Fair Kate Hudson gave a little insight into what it was like with an absentee father and the relationship she has with Russell stating, Kurt is my dad. Kurt is a savior who came into my life. [Bill] was sort of in and out of our lives. I don’t hate him for it. I guess what I feel is frustration and curiosity — like, what was it about me he didn’t want to know?” However even though Bill Hudson is thankful for Russell’s influence in his Kate and Oliver Hudson’s lives, he still has a different story of what happened. “Kurt has been there for her and I’m happy for that and I think it’s a good thing. Kurt’s a really good guy. What’s more hurtful is Kate saying publicly that I’ve abandoned her because that’s just not true,” Bill said. “Even though it was hurtful, I was much happier with that from when Goldie and I first broke up.

We split because she had an affair with Yves [Renier] who she met on the set of Private Benjamin and he’d be there with my kids and it was just sort of a thing and didn’t seem like it was something that would last, and I didn’t like that.” So why is Bill talking all of a sudden? He released a book, of course! The book titled Two Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family, documents his past with Goldie, his relationship with Kate and Oliver, and what it was like to go through his personal family problems in a public light. However, he claims the book isn’t a trashy tell-all. “The record needs to be set and it needs to come out. I wanted to show that it was a love story between me and Goldie, enough that we had children together, and it just went awry. And it was Oliver and Kate that suffered in the end.” Only time will tell!
