Kate Bosworth is an American actress, best known for her roles in The Horse Whisperer, and Remember the Titans (starring Denzel Washington) and Blue Crush, alongside Michelle Rodriguez. Born in Los Angeles, California, she grew up in a variety of locations across the United States due to her father’s job. Bosworth’s early life was marked by a passion for equestrian sports, particularly stadium jumping, where she excelled as a champion by age 14. After graduating from Cohasset High School in Massachusetts in 2001, she relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career.
Bosworth’s acting journey began with a role in the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer, a part that capitalized on her equestrian skills. However, her breakthrough role came in 2002 with the surfing film Blue Crush, where she underwent intense physical training to authentically portray a surfer. The film was a commercial success, grossing $40 million at the box office, and Bosworth’s performance was widely praised. She continued to explore diverse roles, including the lead in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004), the portrayal of Sandra Dee in Beyond the Sea (2004), and a part in the adaptation of Myla Goldberg’s novel Bee Season (2005).
One of her most notable roles was as reporter Lois Lane in Superman Returns (2006), a film that was both a commercial success and a transformative experience for Bosworth, despite mixed reviews of her performance. She continued to explore different genres and roles, starring in The Girl in the Park (2007) and the film adaptation of 21 (2008), among others.
Bosworth’s career also extended beyond acting. In 2008, she became the new face of Calvin Klein Jeans and the spokesperson for the luxury bag brand Coach in Asia. She ventured into fashion by co-founding the jewelry line JewelMint with stylist Cher Coulter in 2010. Bosworth’s talent also extended to music, as she sang the jingle for Cotton Incorporated’s “Fabric of My Life” advertisement in 2011.
In May 2023, Bosworth married actor Justin Long.
