Early Life
Catherine Anne Bosworth was born on January 2nd, 1983, in Los Angeles, California. She was then raised in San Francisco as an only child. Kate's father worked as an executive for Talbots, which required her to move around the nation quite frequently as a young girl. During this period, she spent periods in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and other areas along the East Coast. As a young girl, Bosworth excelled at equestrian sports and became a stadium jumping champion by the age of 14.
Career
Bosworth began her career after she auditioned for a role in the 1998 film "The Horse Whisperer." She booked the role because of her background in equestrian sports. Another major opportunity came with the series "Young Americans" in 2000, although the show was quickly canceled. Another early role came with the film "Remember the Titan," in which she played a small part. In 2001, she relocated to Los Angeles in order to pursue her acting career more seriously.
In 2002, Kate Bosworth broke through with "Blue Crush," a movie that saw her play the role of a successful female surfer. She trained extensively for the role, and the film received positive reviews, grossing $40 million at the box office. After establishing herself in Hollywood, Bosworth focused on independent and low-budget movies for a few years, like "Wonderland." She then booked the lead role in the comedy "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!," but the film proved to be a critical and commercial failure. Another box office bomb came with her next film, "Beyond the Sea." In 2005, she booked another role in "Bee Season." At this point in her career, numerous publications considered her to be one of the hottest women on the planet.
