Kate Bosworth - Horses, TV and Surfing

Kate Bosworth heard of a casting call for girls around her age that could ride horses so she attended an open audition in New York and used a family Christmas card photo as her headshot. The movie was a big Hollywood deal called The Horse Whisperer and it starred both director Robert Redford and Scarlett Johannson. Kate Bosworth scored the part of Judith, a young rider who gets killed in an awful riding accident. After that, Kate took a little time off from acting to be a regular teenager, but was back on the small screen in 2000 in the short-lived NBC series Young Americans. Kate soon decided she'd have better luck with the big screen and snagged a role in Remember the Titans and The Newcomers. Her breakthrough role came when she played the lead in the all-girl surf movie called Blue Crush. She went on to Win a Date with Tad Hamilton and Beyond the Sea with Kevin Spacey. This summer Kate suits up as Lois Lane and joins newcomer Brandon Routh in Superman Returns.
