Bio:
Catherine Anne Bosworth was born on January 2, 1983 in Los Angeles, California and was raised in Cohasset, Massachussetts. She sang at country fairs and was in the community theater production of “Annie.” However that was not the end of being in the spotlight. After getting a taste of the spotlight she auditoned for a movie and was casted as the leading girl’s best friend in Robert Redford’s 1998 movie “The Horse Whisperer.” She had intentionally went to the audition of the movie just for the experience of auditioning never realizing she could actually get the part, but she did. Kate took 18 months off because she was afraid that having an early film career would take away from the fun of being a child and went back to her sports where it is said she played varsity soccer and lacrosse and is a champion equestrain.
She later on returned to acting where she was casted in the short-lived WB Telvesion series, “Young Americans.” After “Young Americans” was off the air in the summer of 2000, Kate starred in such movies as “Remember The Titans” and “The Newcomers.” Kate later starred in “Blue Crush” where she portrayed a sassy girl surfer who wants to make it on top in a man’s sport. The movie got hot raved reviews all over and won Kate a few awards. (view award recap here) After Blue Crush Kate got a role in “The Rules of Attraction” by Roger Avery which co-starred “Young Americans” Ian Sommerholder as well as James Van Der Beek and Shannon Sossymann. Not long after Kate made her big screen flash with “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton” and “Wonderland” both getting great reviews and was jam-packed with amazing cast members to share the screen with. In between those projects she played a part in “Advantage Hart” which was not really a hit. She is currently working on new films such as “Beyond the Sea” “Bee Season” and “Sin City”. As for Kate’s social life, she formerly dated fellow “Young Americans” co-star Matt Czuchry who starred in “Eight-Legged Freaks” for last two years and is currently dating “Lord of the Rings” mega star Orlando Bloom.
Besides being a beauty in the fame spotlight, Kate has got the brains. In school she was part of the National Honor Society (it’s a club in school for really smart kids!) and was quite the intellegent student. Still not convinced about her smarts? She graduated from Cohasset High School and was accepted into Princeton Universtity but deferred her acceptance to persue her career. Not long ago, Kate gave up her spot at Princeton to continue acting. She may not be going to Princeton now, but she can be found glowing and gracing us with her presence on screen.
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. 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.

Quotes:
“Acting is a life experience. I’m always learning things when I’m making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.” - Kate Bosworth quote
“Do you think it is possible to love someone your entire life and never realise it?” - Kate Bosworth quote
“Great Danes are just, like, so great, aren’t they? They’re just, like, big dogs! I know! Yeah, yeah, Great Danes are great. Oh, my God, they just so are!” - Kate Bosworth quote
“I want success for everybody is what I’m saying. I think that’s really important actually, especially in this business. It can be so cutthroat.” - Kate Bosworth quote
“That’s the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.” - Kate Bosworth quote
“There are girls, people in the industry who just kind of flip through magazines and pick out guys, like, “I’m gonna date him”. I could never do that. I don’t think being set up works. I’m big into fate.”
“[On the changes that will follow her life and career after being cast as "Lois Lane" in Superman Returns (2006)]: I’m ready for this. I’m just glad my ‘breakout’ wasn’t a gigantic film. I feel solid in myself now.”
[Talking about modelling her Lois Lane performance on Katharine Hepburn]: “I watched a lot of Hepburn (Katharine Hepburn) to prepare for Lois, particularly The Philadelphia Story (1940) and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967). Hepburn (Katharine Hepburn) is a great model for how I see Lois - strong but fragile.”
“I’m in love with what I do but it’s not the only thing that fulfills me.”
“I think probably trying to please too many people. Sometimes I get so caught up in making other people happy that I just sort of forget about making myself happy and you obviously need to make yourself happy.”
“Everybody makes mistakes, including role models, so you should just learn and grow from it. Even the best role models do screw up and learn from their mistakes, and I think it is just completely unrealistic to say that role models are perfect. Personally, I think perfection is boring, and secondly, I just think that it’s okay to make mistakes.”
“As an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put yourself out there, which my parents encouraged.”
“I don’t really get star-struck, but I do get talent struck. If I meet somebody that I think is just wildly talented and brilliant, that’s when I start getting nervous.”
[On the experience of living with her co-stars during the filming of Blue Crush (2002)] “Of course everybody had their own little thing. My worst thing was ice cream, I was so intense about that. I insisted that no one touch the Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked. If they did, it was a full-out showdown.”
[Talking to Conan O'Brien about the experience of living in Sydney while shooting Superman Returns (2006)] “I love Sydney. I became really attached to the city while I was there. The atmosphere, culture and the people are just so amazing. I went for a cruise on the harbor, and the view of the city is one of the most amazing sights I’ve ever witnessed. Also, everyone there is in shape, you go to the beaches and everyone just looks so fit.”
