Now, Kate Hudson needs to post an arrow to which kid in the choir is her. The part is one of her earliest; Hudson’s first official credited role wouldn’t come until a few years later with a guest spot on a 1996 episode of “Party of Five.” And a few short years after that, Hudson would break out in a major way with a stunning turn as Penny Lane in 2000’s “Almost Famous.” While Hudson naturally got a head start in the industry from being Goldie Hawn’s daughter, she didn’t take it for granted and clearly viewed her acting as work, first and foremost.
In 1997, Hudson spoke with E! News about her first chapter in entertainment, where she displayed a genuine passion for the craft: “This is a job. It’s not about the fame, it’s not about the money. It’s about the passion for doing it.” She proceeds to discuss getting into classes for acting, singing, and dancing, so she’s put in a lot of work to get to where she is.
Hudson carved out an impressive path, having starred in countless iconic romantic comedies. In the later stages of her career, she’s wowed audiences with her performances in “Marshall” and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” And it all started with a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role in “Home Alone 2.”
