Kate Bosworth (born January 2, 1983) is
an American actress. After appearing in 1998's The Horse
Whisperer, Bosworth became well known with a leading
role in 2002's Blue Crush, and has since appeared in
several notable films, including Superman Returns, where
she played Lois Lane.
Early life: Born Catherine Ann Bosworth in Los
Angeles, California as the only child of Hal Bosworth,
an executive for Talbots, and Patricia Potter, a
homemaker. She was born with sectoral heterochromia,
resulting in a hazel section at the bottom of her right
blue eye, while the left is completely blue. After
leaving San Francisco at the age of six, Bosworth's
family frequently moved around the country because of
her father's job, and she grew up mainly on the East
Coast, spending the rest of her youth in Darien,
Connecticut and Cohasset, Massachusetts.
She has noted that because of her
family's frequent relocations, she always felt like the
"new girl in school", and describes herself as
"shy" and unpopular during her high school
years, saying that she has "this pain in [her]
heart from what it was like to walk in with your lunch
tray and not have anywhere to sit."
While attending Cohasset High School (from which she
graduated in 2001), Bosworth learned to speak Spanish
and was a member of the National Honor Society; she also
played varsity soccer and lacrosse. Bosworth has always
been interested in a professional career as a
competitive horse racer and, by the age of fourteen, she
was a champion equestrian.
Career: Bosworth's first film role came after an
open casting call in New York for the supporting part of
Judith in the 1998 film, The Horse Whisperer. The film's
producers needed someone who was already an experienced
horse rider, leading to Bosworth's successful audition
for the role. She subsequently had a small part in the
2000 film Remember the Titans.
In 2001, Bosworth moved to Los Angeles
in hopes of obtaining easier access to auditions and
better film parts. Her first leading role was in 2002's
surfing movie Blue Crush, which she prepared for by
working out with two separate trainers six hours a day
for months in order to add fifteen pounds of muscle to
her frame. The film received positive reviews and
grossed $40 million at the United States box office
allowing Bosworth wider exposure to a mainstream
audience.
After Blue Crush, Bosworth took on roles in the indie
films The Rules of Attraction and a darker turn in
Wonderland opposite Val Kilmer, where she played the
teenage girlfriend of legendary porn star John Holmes.
Between 2002 and 2005, Bosworth appeared in a number of
widely released films. She starred as actress Sandra Dee
in Beyond the Sea and played the lead role in Win a Date
with Tad Hamilton!, opposite Topher Grace. Bosworth also
portrayed Chali, a Hare Krishna, in a film adaptation of
Myla Goldberg's acclaimed novel Bee Season, about a
dysfunctional Jewish family. She has appeared in several
Revlon ads and ranked as #60 in FHM's "100 Sexiest
Women in the World 2005" list. For two years
running, she has placed on the Maxim Hot 100 List –
#38 in 2005 and #8 in 2006.
After going through many screen tests and competing with
other actresses for the role, she was cast as reporter
Lois Lane in the highly anticipated adaptation to the
Superman comics, Superman Returns. She starred along
with her Beyond the Sea co-star Kevin Spacey as Lex
Luthor, as well as newcomer Brandon Routh as Superman. A
sequel to Superman Returns is planned for a release in
the summer of 2009.
She was in plans to star in a film called Seasons of
Dust directed by former co-star Tim Blake Nelson with
her then-boyfriend Orlando Bloom, but the movie was
dropped after their relationship ended.
Bosworth will star in the psychological drama called The
Girl in the Park with Sigourney Weaver and Keri Russell.
She plays Louise, who is assumed to be the missing
daughter of Weaver's character. This movie is written
and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner David Auburn in
his directorial debut. Filming began in November 2006
and was completed December 21, 2006. Currently in
post-production, it is expected for release towards the
end of 2007 to possibly an early 2008 release.
She recently finished filming 21 in Boston,
Massachusetts and Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the film
adaption of the book Bringing Down the House, and
reunites her with co-star Kevin Spacey and director
Robert Luketic. Next, Bosworth is attached to star in
After.Life, a supernatural thriller by writer/director
Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo set to begin shooting in late
2007. She has also recently bought the film rights to
Catherine Hanrahan's novel Lost Girls and Love Hotels,
about a young woman looking to escape in Tokyo's seedy
nightlife.
Personal life: Bosworth was accepted to Princeton
University in late 2000, but continues to defer her
attendance.( Note: In 2005, Princeton University
retracted her acceptance due to her 5th deferral) She is
also a member of the Appalachia Service Project.
Bosworth previously dated actor Matt Czuchry, whom she
met on the set of their short-lived television series,
Young Americans. Their relationship lasted from 2000 to
2002. Then, in late 2002, she began dating actor Orlando
Bloom. The two met outside a coffee shop and were
introduced to each other by a friend, before meeting
again at the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Two
Towers. Bosworth and Bloom separated in 2005 but shortly
after resumed their relationship. On September 5, 2006,
Entertainment Tonight reported that her on-again,
off-again relationship with Bloom had ended after almost
four years though it is unclear when the split took
place. Bosworth has been dating British model James
Rousseau since September 2006.
In mid-to-late 2006, Bosworth made headlines with her
extremely thin appearance. She was a part of a trend of
young Hollywood actresses who have debuted new,
alarmingly thin bodies. In early 2007, after Bosworth
turned up at a charity event and was then snapped
vacationing in Hawaii the media took note of her return
to a healthy weight.
Bosworth has two cats, Louise and Dusty, and a dog named
Lila, whom she adopted while on a 2004 vacation in
Morocco. She has noted that although equestrianism is
her hobby, she has been unable to practice it, because
of the potential risk of injury involved affecting her
film career. |
