Biography
Early life
Hudson was born in
Los Angeles, the daughter of
Academy Award-winning actress
Goldie Hawn and
Bill Hudson, an actor, comedian, and musician. Hudson's parents divorced eighteen months after her birth; she and her brother, actor
Oliver Hudson, were raised in
Colorado by her mother and her mother's long-time boyfriend, actor
Kurt Russell. Hudson has stated that her biological father "doesn't know me from a hole in the wall", and that she considers Kurt Russell to be her father. Hudson has described her mother as "the woman that I've learned the most from, and who I look up to, who has conducted her life in a way that I can look up to". She has three half-siblings, Emily and Zachary Hudson, from her biological father's subsequent marriage to actress
Cindy Williams, and Wyatt, from her mother's relationship with
Kurt Russell. Her cousin is singer
Sarah Hudson.
Hudson is of
Hungarian,
Italian, and
Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and was raised in her maternal grandmother's
Jewish religion; her family also practiced
Buddhism. Hudson graduated from
Crossroads, a performing school in
Santa Monica, in 1997. She was accepted to
New York University, but chose to pursue an acting career instead of attending. Her later film, a comedy titled
You, Me and Dupree and co-starring
Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon, grossed $21.5 million on its opening weekend of
14 July 2006, within industry expectations.
In 2007 Hudson directed the short film
Cutlass, one of Glamour magazine's "Reel Moments" based on readers' personal essays.
Cutlass co-stars
Kurt Russell,
Dakota Fanning,
Virginia Madsen,
Chevy Chase and
Kristen Stewart.
In 2008, her latest film,
Fool's Gold, was released on February 8th. This romantic comedy is her second film to co-star
Matthew McConaughey.
Personal life
In 2000, Hudson married
Chris Robinson, the frontman for
The Black Crowes. They married on New Year's Eve in
Aspen, Colorado. Hudson gave birth to their son, Ryder Russell Robinson, on
January 7,
2004. The couple lived in a house that was once owned by director
James Whale and traveled together during Hudson's film shoots or Robinson's music tours. On
November 18,
2006, Robinson filed divorce papers, citing "
irreconcilable differences". The divorce was finalized on October 22, 2007.
After she and Robinson separated, Hudson publicly dated
Owen Wilson, her
You, Me and Dupree co-star. However, the two broke up in May 2007.
Hudson has noted that she's "not very religious," and describes herself as Jewish. A vocal opponent of
anti-Semitism in part because of witnessing it during a stay in
Paris, Hudson has said, "I'm Jewish and this was the first time I experienced real anti-Semitism. Paris was scary...there were synagogues bombed and there was anti-Semitic graffiti all over the place. I was very angry. This is something I'm passionate about".
Hudson has also said that she doesn't enjoy seeing herself on screen, specifying that she "gets cold... shakes and... sweats" when watching her performances for the first time.
