Hudson is the daughter of Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson (Hawn’s second husband), and was raised by Hawn and her longtime partner Kurt Russell. After high school she pursued an acting career, and made her debut in 1998 in “Desert Blue.” Her breakthrough came two years later, as she memorably portrayed the character of Penny Lane in “Almost Famous” (2000), which garnered her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards. This led to a series of roles in films including “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” (2003), “Nine” (2009) and “Rock the Kasbah” (2015).
