Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth was born on January 2, 1983, in Los Angeles, California. She spent most of her childhood traveling throughout the United States, including San Francisco, Connecticut and Massachusetts. An award-winning equestrian, her big break came about in 1998 during a casting call for Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer.

After landing the role of Bella on the short-lived WB series Young Americans, Bosworth was also a rarity on television, as an actual teen actress portraying a teen.

In 2002, she also appeared in Roger Avary's The Rules of Attraction. The film explored the darker side of college life, with Kate portraying a strung-out party girl. Leaving her wholesome prep-school image behind, she attracted the attention of director James Cox, who was in the midst of casting his latest film, Wonderland.

After those roles, Bosworth was poised to lay claim to the title of the latest Hollywood "It" girl and her face graced dozens of magazine covers seemingly overnight--especially when she embarked on a romance with rising star Orlando Bloom with whom she has been dating for almost 3 years.

Kate also appeared in 2005 drama Bee Season, opposite Richard Gere and Juliette Binoche playing Chali, a Hare Krishna cult member.

She also starred in Superman Returns (2006).
