Mini-Biography
Unlike the characters Kate Bosworth has portrayed in television and in film which are known as "townies", Kate spent most of her childhood in different cities and states. At age 6, she and her parents moved to San Francisco, then to Connecticut at 9, and to Cohasset, Mass., at 14. It was at 14 that Kate, a champion equestrian, learned of a casting call for a movie about horses. Although Bosworth attended the open audition in New York for the 'Robert Redford (III)' 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 Redford.
Her previous acting experience had consisted of singing at county fairs in California and acting in a community theater 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). Throughout high school, Kate maintained academic excellence and was an honor role student and a member of the National Honor Society. In her spare time, she volunteers with various non-profit organizations, including a Los Angeles program for physically challenged children who learn to ride horses with assistance.

Quotes from Articles
"Bryan saw Beyond the Sea a few times and then I auditioned for the role with Brandon Routh. We did a scene where he played Clark Kent and then we did a scene where he was Superman. I remember standing in the audition room and we first did the scene as Clark. Brandon was fantastic and a perfectly clumsy and wonderful Clark, and then we went to the Superman scene and his whole demeanor just changed and I got totally lost in the scene with him. I remember leaving the room with him and saying, "No matter what happens, it was a real pleasure to have had this moment with you." - OK Magazine April 2006
"Well, I obviously don't have a child but I would imagine that your world completely changes to have a child of your own come into the world. Suddenly everything isn't just about you. It's about your child. So that's the main difference in terms of Lois Lane. She's not as crazy and zany but she has still got that fire and spunk and craziness that Margot Kidder brought to the role in 1978." - OK Magazine April 2006
"There are so many fun things about her [Lois]. It's interesting because we've shot pretty much chronologically so we started out in the Daily Planet and that was the first couple of months of shooting. That was fun because it was very rapid fire dialogue and that's where Lois gets her drive." - OK Magazine April 2006
"I remember coming to work everyday thinking, I cannot believe this is my job. Although we're on wires, I'll sit there with Brandon across from me in the flowing cape and the "S" symbol and think, I'm flying with Superman! How many people get to do that?" - OK Magazine April 2006
"The first time I saw Brandon in the special Superman suit was in the first publicity picture that we had taken of him. It was outside Fox Studios on the lawn and it was a very big deal. He had the suit on but he had his black cape on over it and he was walking around - it was like the unveiling of the Mona Lisa or something! Bryan called me down and said: "We want to take a shot of you and Brandon the first time that we show the suit." So I ran down and they took the cape off for a really quick second and I was like; "Ooh, wow!" Brandon felt really overwhelmed by wearing it, too." - OK Magazine April 2006
