She

The
golden-locked dimpled beauty is the daughter of Oscar
winning and lovable actress Goldie Hawn, and singer comedian
Bill Hudson, of The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show
fame.
A couple of months after Kate's birth, Bill and Goldie
divorced, and the estranged father has been out of his
two children's (Kate and older brother Oliver) lives ever
since. In 1983, Goldie met actor Kurt Russell, who has
lived with the family for the past 18 years, and is considered
by Kate to be her "Pa".
Taking after
her mother's passion, Kate wanted to act since she was
a young girl. But despite her strong desire for drama,
her parents originally wanted her to take another career
path. The prodigy finally got her first taste in front
of the camera as a stand-in for the 7-year-old actress
playing Goldie's daughter in the 1986 film, Wildcats.
After her graduation from Crossroads School of Arts
and Sciences, Kate was accepted to NYU's Tisch School
of Drama. But rather than taking her skills to the classes
and student theater productions, she went straight for
the real deal: Hollywood.

It
was her role as Band-Aid Penny Lane, with which Kate captured
the hearts and attention of both critics and audiences
alike. Kate was determined to work with Jerry Maguire
director Cameron Crowe ever since she heard about his
upcoming film. Ready to work as an extra just for the
chance to be in his film (which was finally titled Almost
Famous), she fell in love with the script and especially
the role of Penny Lane.

latest golden child will next be seen in the drama,
