She came to prominence in 2001 after winning a Golden Globe and receiving several nominations, including a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in Almost Famous. She has since established herself in Hollywood after starring in several productions including Raising Helen (2004), The Skeleton Key (2005), You, Me and Dupree (2006), Fool’s Gold (2008) and Bride Wars (2009). Her 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 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”. Regarding her early career and success, Hudson has noted that she is a “hard worker”, and did not want to be associated with her well-known parents, wishing to avoid the perception that she “rode on somebody’s coattails”. Hudson subsequently appeared in several romantic comedies, including Alex and Emma and Raising Helen; the films met with varying degrees of success. Hudson headlined a thriller called The Skeleton Key in 2005.
