Kate Bosworth was born January 2, 1983 in Los Angeles, California. Her first supporting role was in Robert Redford's 1998 film The Horse Whisperer. Her first starring role was in Blue Crush in 2002, followed by Beyond the Sea and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!. She starred as Lois Lane in 2006's Superman Returns. In 2007, she appeared in The Girl In The Park.
Bosworth plays the beautiful Bella Banks in the WB's Young Americans. Although the show is cancelled at the end of the summer, she does begin a two-year romance with costar Matt Czuchry. Bosworth also lands a small role in the movie Remember the Titans, and in 2001, defers her acceptance to Princeton to pursue acting in California. "It's interesting to think I could have gone one way or another," she later tells W. "You've got to just live your life and keep doing what you want to do."
Although Kate attended the open audition in New York for the Robert Redford film The Horse Whisperer (1998) 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 and the chance to work with director/star Robert Redford. Her previous acting experience had consisted of singing at county fairs in California and acting in a community theatre production of "Annie". However, since landing the movie role, Kate seemed to be in more sound stages than ranches. 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.
