How to get to the main roles if there are no familiar directors and high patrons? Kate Hudson knows this firsthand, although she just has familiar directors.
The future actress was born in 1979 in the family of comedians Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn. However, Kate and her brother Oliver were raised not by their own father, but by the famous Kurt Russell, who appeared in their family a few years after his father left, and remained so. Children were happy to call him "dad".
Kate, in imitation of her mother, wanted to become an actress, but Goldie and Kurt were against it - they wanted a more mundane profession for their daughter.
However, fate knew what to do, and at the age of 7, Kate came to the shooting with her mother, the director noticed her, and immediately offered to shoot her in this film. So the girl got her first role in the film "Wild Cats". Mother had no choice but to come to terms with her daughter's dream, and after school, Kate was allowed to enter drama school.
Film career
Kate showed her decisive character even then: she immediately hired an agent and went to Hollywood for screen tests. She decided that she would not use family ties, but would achieve everything herself. One such audition was done by Kurt Russell for Escape from Los Angeles. He did not give her the role, but it was then that Kate Hudson was noticed and appreciated by other producers, and began to invite her to small roles.
So, there was an episode in the TV series "Party for Five", then "Streets of EZ" - that's when she entered the world of big cinema.
Another stepping stone to real fame was the comedy "200 Cigarettes", where Hudson's play was highly praised by critics. She was able to rise to the stellar level thanks to Cameron Crowe's film "Almost Famous" - she was nominated for an Oscar, and everyone was sure that she would receive it, but this did not happen.
This film became a turning point in Kate's acting career - she stopped playing naive simpletons and moved on to more serious roles: for example, the movie "Four Feathers".
And then - comedies, ironic dramas, thrillers, and as a result, cooperation with famous directors and actors. Again the role of a frivolous girl, however, it still suits her, because she still has everything ahead - roles, shooting, awards.
In the meantime, she tries herself in directing: she shot the short film "Cutlas" based on a script by a reader of Glamor magazine. Her character is manifested again: she is not afraid of difficulties.
Personal life
Kate Hudson's first husband is musician Chris Robinson, lead singer of the Black Crowes rock band. They got married in 2004, and in 2007 their marriage broke up, Kate and her son Ryder Russell left Chris.
Then there was a short relationship with actor Owen Wilson, an attempt to break up and get back together, and then a final break in relations.
There were other men, but when Kate met Matthew Bellamy, the frontman of Muse, she realized that this time it was serious. And indeed - soon the couple had a son, Bingham, and they are happy together.
