Kate Garry Hudson was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of actor Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson (of the Hudson Brothers).

She made her film debut in 1998 with “Desert Blue,” but her breakthrough was as the groupie Penny Lane in “Almost Famous” (2000), with her famous with-sunglasses image on the film poster. She then became known for a series of romantic comedies, including “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” (2003). “Fool’s Gold” (2008) and “Bride Wars” (2009). She has worked steadily ever since, including animation voice work in “Kung Fu Panda 3” (2016). Joe Arce captured this Exclusive Portrait in 2016 during a book promo tour for her first self-help book, “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body.”

Happy Birthday Kate Hudson! “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” is currently on Netflix. “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body” and her second book “Pretty Fun: Creating and Celebrating a Lifetime of Tradition,” are available wherever books are sold.
