BIOGRAPHY
Nick Name Katie
Date of Birth 2 January 1983
Height 5.5
Unlike the characters Kate Bosworth has portrayed in television and in film which are known as townies Kate spent most of her childwood in different cities and states . At age 6 she and her parents moved to San Francisco then to connecticut at 9 and to Cohasset, Massachusetts at 14 . It was 14 that Kate a champion equestrian learned of a casting call for a movie about horses.
Throughout high school, Kate maintained academic excellence and was an honor roll student and a member of National Honor Society. In her spare time, she has volunteered with various non-profit organizations, including a Los Angeles program for physically challenged children who learn to ride horses with assistance.CAREER
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. In 2000, she landed the role of the bratty sister in the feature film The Newcomers (2000) and the part of a football co-captain's girlfriend in the Denzel Washington movie Remember the Titans (2000).
Between 1988 and 1997, Harold, or Hal as he was more often known, was on an upward curve. Senior Vice President for Ermenegildo Zegna, in charge of the retailing of their fine men's clothing, he moved on to become Senior Vice President and General Merchandising Manager of the division of Macy's dealing with the I. Magnin and Bullock's Wilshire brands, the top end of Macy's lines. Hal's success would see the family move from LA to San Francisco when Kate was 6, then on to Connecticut when she was 9. Here they would set up home in Darien, a small town near Stamford, by the coast just north of New York City. With Hal (born in 1949) being a Class of '67 alumnus of the prestigious Baylor School, Darien was a place in keeping with Bosworth family traditions. Originally a colony of summer houses built by rich New Yorkers after the Civil War, it was now one of the most expensive places to live in the country. In 2000, the median house price was $1 million and the population was 96% white. Parts of both versions of The Stepford Wives were filmed there.
