Kate Hudson:Gone are the days when people questioned whether actress Kate Hudson would be able to fill the footprints of her famous acting mom, Goldie Hawn. With her Oscar-nominated role in Almost Famous and notable funny-girl turns in films like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the 24-year-old is already demonstrating a breadth of talent that is equally comfortable in a comic or dramatic setting.
Director Garry Marshall helped Hudson find a balance between both with Raising Helen, which the actress recently described as a "dramedy." "It's more of a slice-of-life type of movie," she said. "It's a movie about relationships and life and how you deal with things that come your way, and the importance of family."
While her own family couldn't be prouder, Hudson is fashioning her genetic pedigree into something she can truly call her own.
