Kate Hudson Biography

Kate Garry Hudson (born April 19, 1979) is an American film actress. Kate Hudson came to fame in 2000, after an Oscar-nominated role in the drama Almost Famous, and has since established herself as a Hollywood lead actress, starring in several films, including How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Skeleton Key, and You, Me, and Dupree.

Kate Hudson was born in Los Angeles to Bill Hudson and the Academy Award-winning actress Goldie Hawn. Kate Hudson's maternal grandmother is of Hungarian Ashkenazi Jewish descent while her paternal grandmother was of Italian descent and her paternal grandfather's ancestry traces to 15th century England. Kate Hudson was raised in the Jewish religion, though her family also practiced Buddhism.

Kate Hudson's parents divorced eighteen months after her birth, Kate Hudson and her brother, actor Oliver Hudson, were raised in Colorado by her mother and Kate Hudson's mother's long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell. Kate Hudson has stated that her biological father "doesn't know me from a hole in the wall", and that Kate Hudson considers her mother's partner, Kurt Russell, to be her father. Kate Hudson has described her mother as "the woman that I've learned the most from, and who I look up to, who has conducted her life in a way that I can look up to". Kate Hudson has three half-siblings, Emily and Zachary Hudson, from her biological father's subsequent marriage to actress Cindy Williams, and Wyatt, from her mother's relationship with Kurt Russell. Kate Hudson's cousins are singers Sarah Hudson and David Esteves.

Hudson graduated from Crossroads, a performing school in Santa Monica, in 1997. She was accepted to New York University, but chose to pursue an acting career instead of attending.
