Kate Hudson, a Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated actress and daughter of Goldie Hawn, celebrated her 30th birthday on April 19.
Hudson came to fame in 2001 after bringing in several awards and nominations for her role in 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, You, Me and Dupree, Fool’s Gold, and Bride Wars.
According to Wiki, Hudson was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of Academy Award-winning actress Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson, an actor, comedian, and musician.
Hudson’s parents divorced eighteen months after her birth; she and her brother, actor Oliver Hudson, were raised in Colorado by her mother and her mother’s long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell.
It was recently announced that Hudson will appear in the musical film Nine alongside Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench, among others. The film, directed by Rob Marshall, will be released in the fall of 2009.
Hudson possesses her mother’s bright smile, blue eyes and petite figure. Although she isn’t terribly well-endowed, Hudson has a certain sexiness about her, as the images below will prove.
