How to get to the main roles if there are no familiar directors and high patrons? Kate Hudson knows this firsthand, although she knows directors she knows.
The future actress was born in 1979, in the family of comedians Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn. However, Kate and her brother Oliver were brought up not by their own father, but by the famous Kurt Russell, who a few years after leaving his father appeared in their family, and remained so. Children called him "dad" with pleasure.
Kate, imitating 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 got on the set with her mother, she was noticed by the director, 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 reconcile with her daughter’s dream, and after school Kate was allowed to enter the theater school.
Movie career
Kate showed her decisive character even then: she immediately hired an agent and went to Hollywood for film screenings. She decided that she would not use family ties, but she would achieve everything herself. One of these samples was performed by Kurt Russell for the film "Escape from Los Angeles." He did not give her roles, 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 series "Party for Five", then "Streets EZ" - then she entered the world of big cinema.
Another step towards real fame was the comedy 200 Cigarettes, where critics praised the Hudson game. She was able to rise to the star 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 was a turning point in Kate's acting career - she stopped playing naive simpletons and switched to more serious roles: for example, the film "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 is still quite suitable for her, because she still has everything ahead - roles, filming, awards.
In the meantime, she tries herself in directing: she shot a short film "Katlas" according to the script of a reader of Glamor magazine. Her character manifests itself again: she is not afraid of difficulties.
