Kate Bosworth spent most of her childhood in different cities and states. At age 6, she and her parents moved to San Francisco, then to Connecticut at age 9, and to Cohasset, Massachusetts at 14.  It was at this age that she learned of a casting call for a movie about horses.  Although she attended the open audition in New York for the Robert Redford film The Horse Whisperer simply in hopes of getting the experience of what it was like to audition for a movie role, she won the role of the female lead's best friend.  Her previous acting experience had only consisted of singing at county fairs in California and acting in a community theatre production of "Annie".  She then played the role of Bella Banks in the short-lived television series Young Americans.  Fearful that an early career would rob her of her childhood, she took 18 months off to live a normal life before opting to plunge into acting again.  Throughout high school she maintained academic excellence and was an honour role student and a member of the National Honor Society.  In 2000, she landed the role of the bratty sister in the feature film The Newcomers, and the part of a football co-captain's girlfriend in Remember the Titans.   More recently she stared in Blue Crush and appeared in The rules of Attraction.

Quotes:

"I’m not very good on computers but I think they’re amazing. I like a shopping site but I’ll never do it again. It’s like, did I spend that much money? It’s all hypothetical until you actually get the bills. I spent like a couple of thousand. It’s stupid because I got a pair of shoes and a tee-shirt and it’s like five thousand dollars. My God."

"Hopefully that should mean that the days of playing "the girlfriend" are over. Unless, of course, the part is as Brad Pitt's girlfriend. If there's an opening for that, then I'm in."

"I got slammed on the head by a tandem board, which weighs about 65 pounds. I was knocked unconscious and had to be taken to the hospital for a CAT scan. That was rough."
