Kate Hudson spent the first half of 2026 in a place the industry had more or less stopped expecting her: the Best Actress category. Her Claire Sardina in Song Sung Blue earned a nomination at the 98th Academy Awards, twenty-five years after Almost Famous made her a star at 21 and then, by common account, typecast her out of the roles that would have kept her there. Jessie Buckley won for Hamnet. The nomination itself was the story.
Craig Brewer’s film tells the true story of Mike and Claire Sardina, a Milwaukee couple who made a life out of a Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder, with Hugh Jackman as Mike. Both leads sing, which for Hudson is not a stunt: she released her debut album Glorious in 2024, and in September 2026 she recorded a reworking of California Dreamin’ for LA28 Dreamin’, the campaign promoting the Los Angeles Olympics.
The steady work is on Netflix. Running Point, in which she plays Isla Gordon, the youngest sibling abruptly handed the family’s LA Waves basketball team, arrived in February 2025, returned on 23 April 2026 and was renewed for a third season on 13 May 2026, with production expected to start in September. Two films are lined up behind it: Hello & Paris with Javier Bardem, and Palm Grove, a thriller from Kornel Mundruczo alongside Ana de Armas.
She was born in Los Angeles on 19 April 1979 to Goldie Hawn and the musician Bill Hudson, and raised by Hawn and Kurt Russell, whom she has described as her father in every sense that counts. Her brother Oliver Hudson acts and podcasts. She has three children from three relationships: Ryder, born 2004 with Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes; Bingham, born 2011 with Muse’s Matt Bellamy; and Rani Rose, born 2018 with Danny Fujikawa, the musician she has been engaged to since 2021.
The part of the career that rarely makes the profiles is the business one. She co-founded Fabletics in 2013 and the children’s nutrition brand InBloom, and the activewear stake is what most net worth estimates are actually measuring. At 47 she is running four things at once, which is a reasonable description of what the Oscar nomination interrupted rather than started.
