Her son Ryder's middle name, Russell, is an homage to her mother Goldie Hawns longtime partner Kurt Russell, whom Kate always considered to be her father.
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. Hudson won the part - but Hawn didn't tell her, turned it down, and kept the secret until she admitted it a year later.
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.
