1-MINUTE RESUME FOR KATE BOSWORTH
Whether riding a horse or riding a wave, there's no mistaking sunny, fresh-faced Kate Bosworth. An award-winning equestrian who grew up in San Francisco and on the East Coast, she answered her first-ever movie casting call at 14 for the role in
The Horse Whisperer that ended up going to Scarlett Johansson, but did land a part, that of the best friend. After taking some time off, she went on to star in some teen-oriented flicks (
Remember the Titans,
Blue Crush) and some edgier movies (
Rules of Attraction,
Wonderland) and has put off going to Princeton to act. Her biggest role to date is that of Lois Lane in
Superman Returns.
5 Things:
1. Her first headshot, given to Horse Whisperer producers, was from a Christmas family portrait.
2. A natural brunette, she has one blue eye, one hazel eye.
3. She was knocked unconscious while surfing on-set for Blue Crush.
4. She's known for her on-again, off-again relationship with Orlando Bloom.
5. Her Whisperer co-star Johansson was considered for the Lois Lane role that went to Kate.
Quote:
"It's so weird how life works out. I never would have imagined all of this. Like, never. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a waitress on roller skates."
