Trivia

Goldie Hawn & Bill Hudson's daughter.

After the "National Enquirer" reported that she had an eating disorder, she successfully won a libel suit against it. As a result of the suit, she has become one of the only people who successfully forced the Enquirer to admit they fabricated a story (rather than claiming it was a mistake).

Her son Ryder's middle name, Russell, is an homage to her mother Goldie Hawn's longtime partner Kurt Russell, whom Kate always considered to be her father.

Kurt Russell walked her down the aisle at her wedding to Chris Robinson.

She turned down what could have been her big break, a role in Escape from L.A. (1996), because it starred Kurt Russell and "I didn't want to be professionally associated with my dad. I just wanted to see if I could do the audition."

She can play guitar and piano.

Turned down the part of Peter Parker's girlfriend Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man (2002) for the role of Ethne Eustace in The Four Feathers (2002).

When she was 11 her mother relented and got her an audition for a lead role in a never-produced television show with Howie Mandel. She won the part--but Hawn didn't tell her, turned it down and kept the secret until she admitted it a year later.
