She also had roles in independent films, playing Dawn Schiller in the true crime film Wonderland (2003) and Sandra Dee in the Bobby Darin biographical drama Beyond the Sea (2004). She portrayed Lois Lane in Superman Returns (2006), and had roles in 21 (2008), Straw Dogs (2011), And While We Were Here (2012), and Still Alice (2014). She starred in the horror films Before I Wake (2016) and The Domestics (2018). Recently, she starred as KC in the Netflix science-fiction miniseries The I-Land (2019).
Bosworth was born in Los Angeles [1] and also lived in San Francisco as a child. [3] She is the only child of Patricia ( née Potter), a homemaker, and Harold Bosworth, a former executive for Talbots. [4] [5] She was born with heterochromia iridum, and has a hazel right iris and a blue left iris. [6] When she was six years old, her family relocated from San Francisco to various parts of the country due to her father's job. She was raised mainly on the East Coast, spending the rest of her youth in Massachusetts and Connecticut. [4]
Bosworth developed an interest in equestrian sports, specifically stadium jumping, and by age 14 she was a champion equestrian. [4] [7] She graduated from Cohasset High School in Cohasset, Massachusetts in 2001. [8] [9]
Bosworth's first film role came after an open casting call in New York for the supporting part of Judith in the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer . The producers needed someone who was an experienced horse rider, and Bosworth won the role. [7] The film earned a positive reception from film critics. [10] In 2000, she starred in the television series drama Young Americans as Bella Banks, [11] but it was canceled. [12] That year she had a small part in the film Remember the Titans . [11] In 2001, she moved to Los Angeles to seek better film parts. [4]
Bosworth's breakthrough role came in the 2002 surfing film Blue Crush . She prepared for the role by working with two trainers seven hours a day for months, adding 15 pounds of muscle to her frame. [13] In his review of the film, Rolling Stone 's Peter Travers wrote: "Bosworth is a star in the making, but even she can't outshine the surfing footage, which is flat-out spectacular." [14] The film received positive reviews [15] [16] and grossed $40 million at the United States box office. [17] Bosworth then took on the lead role in the low-budget Wonderland (2003) opposite Val Kilmer. She played the teenage girlfriend of porn star John Holmes. [11] [18]
In 2004, she played the lead role in romantic comedy Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! , opposite Topher Grace. [19] It was critically and financially unsuccessful. [20] [21] Also in 2004, she portrayed actress Sandra Dee in Beyond the Sea . [22] Reviews were mixed, [23] and it was a box office failure, [24] though Bosworth's performance received critical acclaim. [25] The next year, she portrayed Chali, a Hare Krishna, in the film adaptation of Myla Goldberg's novel Bee Season (2005), about a dysfunctional Jewish family. [26]
Bosworth was cast as reporter Lois Lane in Bryan Singer's film Superman Returns (2006), [27] which also starred her Beyond the Sea co-star Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, and newcomer Brandon Routh as Superman. [28] [29] It was a box office success and received mostly positive reviews. [30] Bosworth's performance however, was not well received; Anthony Lane of The New Yorker wrote: "The new Lois Lane, Kate Bosworth, is not a patch on Margot Kidder, or, for that matter, on Teri Hatcher, in the TV series." [31] San Francisco Chronicle film critic Mick LaSalle felt that Bosworth, at age 22, was too young to portray Lane, and that the climax did not "match the potential of the tiring 154 minute long film". [32] Although Bosworth's performance was ambivalently received, she loved working on the movie. In a candid interview with Teen Vogue published in the August 2006 issue, Bosworth expressed her deep affection for the film and described the experience as a transformative period in her life, where she felt a newfound sense of self and completeness. [33] She was eventually nominated for worst supporting actress at the Razzie Awards for the part. The movie grossed $52 million on its opening weekend in North America and went on to earn $391 million worldwide. [34]
Bosworth starred as Louise in the psychological drama The Girl in the Park with Sigourney Weaver, Alessandro Nivola and Keri Russell, written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner David Auburn in his directorial debut. [35] It premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, and was subsequently picked up by The Weinstein Company. [36] Alissa Simon of Variety wrote that Bosworth "tries her best, but her character's too extremely drawn." [37] Bosworth also filmed 21 , an adaptation of the book Bringing Down the House , in early 2007 in Boston, Massachusetts and Las Vegas, Nevada, [38] [39] reuniting with co-star Kevin Spacey and director Robert Luketic. [38] [39] It garnered mixed reviews, with Joanne Kaufman of the Wall Street Journal concluding, "Very little adds up in 21." [40]
In 2006, she optioned the film rights to Catherine Hanrahan's novel Lost Girls and Love Hotels and was set to produce the project with filmmaker Nadia Connors. [41] It was finally made with Alexandra Daddario in the lead role. In 2010, she starred in The Warrior's Way , shot in New Zealand with Korean actor Jang Dong-gun and Geoffrey Rush. [42] [43] It was one of 2010's biggest box-office flops, grossing only slightly more than $11,000,000 worldwide against its $42 million budget. Bosworth has said about her roles, "I just don't do comfort zones." [44]
In January 2008, Bosworth was named the new face of Calvin Klein Jeans and appeared in their ad campaigns. [45] She also became the spokesperson for the American luxury bag brand Coach in Asia. [46]

She appeared in 10 films between 2011 and 2014, moving away from the big-budget Superman franchise into lower-budget film roles, such as Still Alice with Julianne Moore. The short film Lov, filmed in Slovenia, featured her and launched fashion designer Vanessa Bruno’s fall 2011 campaign. [53]
In 2013, Bosworth was cast in the horror film Before I Wake [54] directed by Mike Flanagan; it was released on Netflix in 2017. [55] [56] [57]
In 2018, she was cast in the postapocalyptic horror film The Domestics [58] released on June 28 that year. [59]

[73] Bosworth became the stepmother to Jasper, Polish's daughter from a previous marriage, whom Bosworth said was “hands-down the greatest unexpected gift of her life”. [74] [67] In August 2021, she announced her separation from Polish. [75] They legally divorced in March 2023. [76]
Bosworth is a Buddhist, following Mahayana Buddhism. [77] She enjoys running and Pilates, and practices meditation. [78]
Because Bosworth's grandparents suffered from Alzheimer's disease, the book Still Alice has had an impact on her. She contacted the author, Lisa Genova, and later landed a co-starring role in the film version of the book. [67]
In January 2022, it was reported that Bosworth was in a relationship with actor Justin Long. [79] In April 2023, the couple confirmed their engagement. [80] A month later, Long indicated that the couple had married. [81]
