Kate Bosworth Biography:
A champion equestrian whose film debut came by chance after she auditioned for a role in
Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer (1998) out of simple curiosity about the film industry,
actress Kate Bosworth's inherent natural beauty has perfectly suited her to roles in such earthy
films as her aforementioned debut and Blue Crush (2002), which found Bosworth taking the
lead as an adrenalized competitive surfer who finds her balance shifting as she falls for a
promising quarterback. Born in 1983 in Los Angeles, Bosworth displayed both brains and
athletic skill early on with her membership in the National Honor Society and involvement with
varsity soccer and lacrosse.
Though her previous acting experience consisted of little more than an appearance in a
community theater production of +Annie, Bosworth's film debut in The Horse Whisperer found
the burgeoning actress carefully considering a full-time career in front of the cameras. After
taking an 18-month sabbatical during which she weighed her options and finished her high
school education, Bosworth returned to the sound stage for roles in the short-lived television
series The Young Americans, and such features as Remember the Titans and The Newcomers
(both 2000). Developing into an engaging screen presence, Bosworth would next hit the waves
during production of the romantic surf drama Blue Crush.
Her comfort before the cameras increasingly evident thanks to substantial roles in such
subsequent features as The Rules of Attraction, Wonderland, and Win a Date with Tad
Hamilton, Bosworth would next tackle her most demanding role to date when she portrayed
screen icon Sandra Dee in the 2004 Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea. Cast opposite Kevin
Spacey, Bosworth proved that she could indeed hold her own onscreen with one of the most
respected actors in Hollywood. Though Bosworth's role in Beyond the Sea may have been the
most dramatically challenging of her still relatively new career, her highest profile role would
follow soon thereafter when the maturing actress accepted the role of iconinc Daily Planet
reporter
Lois Lane in 2006's Superman Returns. Taking over right where Margot Kidder left off in
1980's Superman II, Bosworth's expansion of the character to both mother and wife added an
extra dimension to Lane that fans would find especially compelling within the Superman
universe. Though by this time Bosworth's longtime relationship with fellow actor Orlando Bloom
had sparked rumors of marriage among Hollywood talkers, the pair seemed to be taking things
fairly slowly and making sure they had a sturdy foundation before making the big leap.
In addition to her film work, Bosworth gave back to her community by volunteering in a Los
Angeles-based program that helps physically disabled children learn to ride horses. Jason
