Kate Garry Hudson is an American film actress. She was born April 19, 1979 to Academy Award-winning actress Goldie Hawn & Bill Hudson, an actor, comedian, and musician.

She is of English, Italian, and Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and was raised in her maternal grandmother's Jewish religion; her family also practiced Buddhism. She graduated from Crossroads, a performing school in Santa Monica, in 1997. Although she was accepted to New York University, Kate chose to pursue an acting career instead of attending.
