Kate Garry Hudson[1] (born April 19, 1979) is an American film actress. She came to fame in 2000, after an Oscar-nominated role in the drama Almost Famous, and has since established herself as a Hollywood lead actress, starring in several successful films, including How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Skeleton Key, and You, Me, and Dupree.




Biography

Early life

Hudson was born in Los Angeles to Bill Hudson (a singer, comedian and member of the Hudson Brothers) and Goldie Hawn (a well-known film actress). Her maternal grandmother is of Hungarian Ashkenazi Jewish descent while her paternal grandmother was of Italian descent[2] and her paternal grandfather's ancestry traces to 15th-century England.[3] Hudson was raised in the Jewish religion,[4] though her family also practiced Buddhism.


Hudson's parents divorced eighteen months after her birth, and she and her brother, actor Oliver Hudson, were raised in Colorado by her mother and her mother's long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell.[5] Because Hudson's biological father was absent during most of her childhood, the two are estranged from each other. Hudson has stated that her biological father "doesn't know me from a hole in the wall", and that she considers her mother's partner, Kurt Russell, to be her father.[6] Hudson has described her mother as "the woman that I've learned the most from, and who I look up to, who has conducted her life in a way that I can look up to".[7] She has three half-siblings, Emily and Zachary Hudson, from her biological father's subsequent marriage to actress Cindy Williams, and Wyatt, from her mother's relationship with Kurt Russell. Her cousin is singer Sarah Hudson.

Hudson graduated from Crossroads, a performing school in Santa Monica, in 1997. She was accepted to New York University, but chose to pursue an acting career instead of attending.[5]


Career

Hudson's breakthrough role was as Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous (2000), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.[5] She had previously appeared in the lesser-known films Gossip, a teenage drama, and 200 Cigarettes, a New Year's-set comedy with a large cast of actors. Regarding her early career and succees, Hudson has noted that she is a "hard worker", and did not want to be associated with her well-known parents, wishing to avoid the perception that she "rode on somebody's coattails".[5]

Hudson turned down the part of Mary Jane Watson in the 2002 film version of Spider-Man, and instead starred in remake of the historical romance The Four Feathers, a film which was not well received by critics or audiences. Her next film, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, a romantic comedy, became a big success at the box office, grossing over $100 million after its February 2003 release. Hudson subsequently appeared in several romantic comedies, including Alex and Emma and Raising Helen; the films met with varying degrees of success.

Hudson headlined a thriller called The Skeleton Key in 2005. The film, which had a production budget of $43 million, enjoyed moderate box office success, grossing over $91.9 million worldwide ($47.9 million in the US alone).[8] Her latest film, a comedy titled You, Me and Dupree and co-starring Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon, grossed $21.5 million on its opening weekend of 14 July 2006, within industry expectations.[9]


Kiehn Hudson has long expressed an interest in producing films,[7] and is currently finalizing a deal to produce and star in the film A Dream of Red Mansions, opposite Ken Watanabe, in which she will play Diana Mellors, a real-life photojournalist who moved to China and became a Communist; filming will begin in the fall of 2006.[10] Two projects in which Hudson was previously scheduled to star in, the comedy Can You Keep a Secret? and the drama Sleight of Mind, are still in development.[7]

Hudson is the image model for Kamiseta, a Filipino line of young women's clothing and apparel. She was preceded by Natalie Portman.


Personal life

In 2000, Hudson married Chris Robinson, the frontman for The Black Crowes. She gave birth to their son, Ryder Russell Robinson, on January 7, 2004. The couple lived in a house that was once owned by director James Whale and traveled together during Hudson's film shoots or Robinson's music tours.[5] On August 14, 2006, Hudson's publicist announced that Hudson and Robinson had separated.[11]. On November 18, 2006, Robinson filed divorce papers, citing irreconcilable differences. [12] She is now rumoured to be dating You, Me, and Dupree co-star Owen Wilson. However, in January 2007, she was spotted with a new beau, Jet frontman Nic Cester.[[1]]

Hudson has noted that she is "not very religious,"[13] although she still describes herself as Jewish.[14] She has also said that she does not enjoy watching herself on screen, specifying that she "gets cold... shakes and... sweats" when watching her performances for the first time.[7]

In July 2006, Hudson sued the British version of the National Enquirer after they had stated that she has an eating disorder and described her as "painfully thin." Hudson said that the tabloid's actions were "completely inappropriate" and a "blatant lie," and specified her concern relating the impressions about weight that she feels the tabloid could have on young girls.[15]

On April 9, 2007, paparazzi photos surfaced of Hudson and her ex husband, Chris Robinson, together with their son, Ryder.

Subject: Making a baby

> "Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat".
>
> After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
>
> "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
>
> "Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"

> "Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."

> "My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.

> "Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."

> "Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.

> "Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
>
> "Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
>
> Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?"

> "It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
>
> "Tripod?"

> "Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long."

Welcome back, hawkman. Ah, the fun of talking at cross purposes. Love that misunderstood funny, BostonBob.

I think we know most of your celebs, but I was interested in the bit about someone in the movie "Crash" doing an imitation of Jayne's car accident. Don't recall that, myself.

Well, folks, let's hope our Raggedy puts faces to names today, because her photo's are always a memory jog.

Until that pretty pup arrives, let's hear this one from Tim Curry.

I put a spell on you,
Because you're mine,
You better stop the things that you do,
I ain't lyin'

I just can't stand it, babe,
The way you're always runnin' 'round,
I just can't stand it,
The way you're always tryin' to put me down,

I put a spell on you,
Because you're mine.

I put a spell on you,
Because you're mine,
You better stop the things that you do,
I ain't lyin' you know I ain't lyin',

I just can't stand it, babe,
The way you're always runnin' 'round,
I just can't stand it,
The way you're always tryin' to put me down,

I put a spell on you,
Because you're mine.
'Cause, 'cause you're mine!

I said, I love you, I love you, I love you, oh, baby, how,
And I don't care if you don't want me,
I'm yours right now,

I put a spell on you,
Because you're mine.
Because you're mine.
Because you're mine.

Good afternoon WA2K.

Dropping into match some faces.

Well, there's that pup. (I just exhaled)

Wonderful photo's, Raggedy.

We're looking at Hugh and Dick, Jayne and Dudley, Tim and Kate. All beautiful people, right? We never know what lies behind that beauty, however.

Another masquerade song

My blue horizon is turning gray
And my dreams are drifting away

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love


I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes

You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love; and so is love.

Stevie Wonder

And that song brought this one to mind:

Was in a Paris cafe that first I found him
He was a Frenchman, a hero of the war
But war was over
And here's how peace had crowned him
A few cheap medals to wear and nothing more
Now every night in the same cafe he shows up
And as he strolls by ladies hear him say
If you admire me, hire me
A gigolo who knew a better day

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying
There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me

Dear Raggedy. I remember that song well, and you inspired me to find a song that I have wondered about for a long time. Naturally, there are different versions of it, but all by Johnny Mercer.

First version, folks.


WHEN THE WORLD WAS YOUNG (FEMALE LYRICS)

Verse 1.

They call me coquette, and mademoiselle,

And I must admit I like it quite well.

It's something to be the darling of all;

Le grande femme fatale - the belle of the ball,

There's nothing as gay as life in Paris ,

There's no other person, I'd rather be,

I love what I do - I love what I see,

But where is the schoolgirl that used to be me….



Chorus 1.

Ah, the apple trees,

Where at garden teas,

Jack-o-lanterns swung:

Fashions of the day,

Vests of applique,

Dresses of shantung,

Only yesterday.

When The World Was Young

Back later, listeners, with the other versions.

Well, Don1 is back looking for a border town song, so I decided to play this one instead of another apple tree young that has been sung.

Maybe someone can locate it for him.

One of my favorite country musicians, folks.

Hank Snow

In Nuevo Laredo the moon is aglow in Nuevo Laredo in old Mexico

In Nuevo Laredo in old Mexico
The other tourists they're spending their dough
But she spends her time singing love songs you see
And everytime she sang a song she thre a kiss to me
In Nuevo Laredo the moon is aglow in Nuevo Laredo in old Mexico

In Nuevo Laredo the blue Rio Grande
Was bright in the moonlight as I held her hand
She sang me a love song the whole lovely night
We kissed and kissed and kissed and kissed intil the the morning light
In Nuevo Laredo the moon is aglow in Nuevo Laredo in old Mexico

In Nuevo Laredo I found true romance
With my senorita I sang and I danced
We had a fiesta from morning till night
And then her father caught us crumble for a fight

In Nuevo Laredo I travel no more
Since her father hollered don't darken my door
But each night by moonlight I'm all happy man
You should see me swim to her across the Rio Grande
In Nuevo Laredo the moon is aglow in Nuevo Laredo in old Mexico

Oh Ma Ma (The Butcher Boy)
Rudy Vallee

My Gawd, edgar. Rudee Vallee? I know that song, Texas, but I have no idea why I know that song.

There was a period in music history that everyone was caught up in the megaphone thing, and this song from the movie My Own Little Idaho is really lovely.

"Deep night"



Deep night, stars in the sky above
Moonlight, lighting our place of love
Night winds seem to have gone to rest
Two eyes, brightly with love are gleaming

Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, be mine alone

Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love

<lengthy>

Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, and be mine alone

Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love

Oops. I forgot to inform our researchers what that Brit wanted.

good evening listeners and greetings from SUNNY AND WARM eastern ontario - reached about 12 C - 50 F today

..............THE BUG SONG !

With A Little Luck
Paul McCartney & Wings

[Words and Music by Paul McCartney]


With a little luck, we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little love, we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding

There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it
We can do it, just me and you
And a little luck
We can clear it up
We can bring it in for a landing
With a little luck
We can turn it on
There can be no misunderstanding

There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
We can do it, just me and you
With a little push
We can set it up
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little luck
We can shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding

With a little luck
With a little luck
With a little luck
A little luck, a little luck
With a little luck
With a little luck
With a little luck
A little luck, a little luck

Ah, what a lovely evening, listeners.

hbg. Loved your bug song, buddy.

And there's our edgar playing wings. This is our lucky night for insects, I guess.<smile>

Fireflies, lightning bugs, glow worms. What beautiful little things they are.



Dino's version

Glow little glow worm flier fire

Glow like an incandescent wire

Glow for the female of the specie

Turn on the AC and the DC

This night could use a little brightening

Light up your little bug of lightning

When you gotta glow you gotta glow

Glow little glow worm glow



Glow little glow worm turn the key on

You are equipped with tail light neon

You got a cute vest pocket Mazda

Which you can make both slow or faster

I don't know who you took a shine to

Or who you're out to make a sign to

I gotta gal that I love so glow little glow worm glow

Glow little glow worm glow

Glow little glow worm glow

heard this just now, from the other room

He Ain't Heavy... He's My Brother

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he, to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on our way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

with all this loveliness & good will, how bout somethin narsty from Sid Vicious & the Sex Pistols

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
You ****, I'm not a queer
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
And each and every highway
And yet, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption
I've planned each charted course
Each careful step along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There were times,
I'm sure you knew
When there was ****, ****
**** all else to do
But through it all,
When there was doubt
I shot it up or kicked it down
I faced 'em all and the world
And did it my way

I've loved and been a snide
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now the tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think, I killed a cat
And might I say not in the gay way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a brat,
What has he got
When he wears hats and he cannot
Say the things he truly feels
But only the words
Of one who kneels
The record shows,
I've shot a bloke
And did it my way

Hey, dj. The turtle ain't your brother; he's heavy. Although I do salute Boy's Town.

M.D. "...oh, ye damned whale..." that Sid is vicious, but we do love the parody on Sinatra.

My goodnight song, all.

Angela Aki about her grandmother.

Along the river a row of
cherryblossom trees are blossoming
The two of us, living together,
walking this path together
And though this world may swallow me up
and spit me
I simply want to be by your side
Forever and ever
But alas, we were caught in the flow of time
and the loop of love, and one day you passed away
Oh my beloved, if I close my eyes
I can see the two of us, way back then
Oh the sight of you, colored by the cherryblossom
is something I will never, ever, forget
After parting with you
I started to understand myself
and my dreams got closer,
and closer within reach
Tough negative words crushed me at times
once the dust would settle, I'd continue the fight
Oh the pain! If I close my eyes
I can see how I was back then
But the image of myself, colored by the cherryblossom
is something I will never, ever, forget
Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
I can hear that song right now...
Oh my beloved, if I close my eyes
I can see the two of us, way back then
the sight of you, colored by the cherryblossom
the image of myself, colored by the cherryblossom
oh that time, of the cherryblossom color
I will never, ever, never
ever, forget

Goodnight,
From Letty with love

Trivia

The character of "Bruce Baxter" in the 2005 remake of King Kong was based on Cabot.
The 2005 remake includes a dedication to the other two lead actors in the 1933 original, but not to Cabot.
