Nowadays, Bosworth is one of the brightest and most promising stars in Hollywood. The paparazzi follow her, and news about Kate is published on the front pages of the tabloids.

Childhood and youth

The actress was born in Los Angeles in January 1983 and grew up in a family where there were no artists. Kate Bosworth's parents were not connected with the world of show business, although they lived in a city that is called the center of the world film industry. Kate’s mother Patricia Potter is a homemaker, and father Harold Bosworth was an executive for Talbots.

They often had to change the place of residence due to the father's work. The Bosworth family traveled from one state of America to another, and they took the only daughter, Kate, everywhere. The girl used to be in the high light all the time. Her bright appearance and modeling body measurements (Bosworth’s growth is 1,65 meters, and she weighs 55 kilograms), different-colored eyes (Kate has heterochromia iridum) made the girl a desirable model for fashion agencies and advertisers.

They tried to get the beautiful girl from childhood, offering to sign contracts, but Kate Bosworth was adamant and refused offers. At the age of 10, she developed an interest in competitive horse racing and devoted all free time to this activity. Kate dreamed of becoming a professional rider, and at the age of 14, she became a champion equestrian. Bosworth graduated from a high school with advanced French learning. There, the girl was fond of football and lacrosse, and she played for the school team.

Films

The American actress started an acting career when she was 15 years old. Moreover, equestrian sport helped Kate Bosworth. Director Robert Redford was looking for a young girl, who could ride confidently, to play in a new project. He selected Kate, and she appeared on the set of the melodrama The Horse Whisperer.

This film tells a dramatic story about two friends, Grace and Judith, who were in deep trouble during a horse ride. Judith died of colliding with a truck, Grace lost her leg, but she and the horse named Pilgrim managed to survive. Kate Bosworth got the role of the deceased heroine, and Scarlett Johansson portrayed Grace. Two more Hollywood stars, Robert Redford and Kristin Scott Thomas, played Grace’s parents.
