Biography
Kate Bosworth (born Catherine Ann Bosworth on 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. She portrays Lois Lane in the upcoming film Superman Returns. Early life: Bosworth was born in Los Angeles, California to Hal Bosworth (an executive for Talbot) and Patricia Potter (a homemaker). After leaving San Francisco at the age of six, she grew up mainly on the East Coast, spending the rest of her youth in Darien, Connecticut and Cohasset, Massachusetts. Bosworth was born with sectoral heterochromia, resulting in a hazel section at the bottom of her right blue eye, while the left is completely blue. While attending Cohasset high school (which she graduated from in 2001) Bosworth learned to speak Spanish and was a member of the National Honor Society; she also played varsity soccer and lacrosse. 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. At age fourteen, Bosworth was a already champion equestrian, and successfully auditioned for the role. She subsequently had a supporting 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. The film received positive reviews and grossed $40 million at the United States box office, allowing Bosworth wider exposure to a mainstream audience. 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 Josh Duhamel. Bosworth also portrayed Chali, a Hare Krishna, in a film adaption 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 magazine Hot 100 List--#38 in 2005 and #8 in 2006. She was also number 2 on E!'s list of 2006's "Girls of Summer" list. In 2005, Bosworth was cast as reporter Lois Lane in the new Superman movie, Superman Returns. Her Beyond the Sea co-star, Kevin Spacey, who also appears in Superman Returns, suggested Bosworth for the role to director Bryan Singer. Bosworth initially hesitated to take the role, citing the iconic nature of the character, and the potentially negative fan reaction to her performance, but eventually accepted. The film is currently scheduled for release on June 28, 2006, and Bosworth has already signed on for a potential sequel. Bosworth describes herself as "insecure", and has detailed that she is "learning" and maturing as an actress. She will next appear in the Great Depression themed independent film drama, Seasons of Dust, which will also star Bosworth's current boyfriend, Orlando Bloom. The film will be directed by Tim Blake Nelson, and will begin filming in mid-July 2006 in New Mexico and Oklahoma. Personal life: Bosworth was admitted to Princeton University in 2000, but continues to defer her attendance. 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. She is currently dating actor Orlando Bloom, whom she met at a premiere for the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. She has two cats, Louise and Dusty, and a dog named Lila, whom she adopted while on a 2004 vacation in Morocco.
