Claim to Fame: Penny Lane in Almost Famous
(2000)
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 mom, Goldie Hawn.
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). (Full Bio ....)
