>>> WE ARE NOT GROUPIES.
>> THIS IS PENNY LANE.
SHOW SOME RESPECT.
>> GROUPIES SLEEP WITH ROCK
STARS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE
NEAR SOMEONE FAMOUS.
WE'RE HERE BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC.
WE ARE BAND-AIDS.
>> THAT'S KATE HUDSON ASPENY
LANE IN "ALMOST FAMOUS" WHICH
MARKS ITS 20th ANNIVERSARY.
KATE WAS 21 YEARS OLD WHEN THAT
MOVIE MADE HER A STAR INSTANTLY.
SHE QUICKLY FOUND HERSELF
HOLDING SOME OF THE SAME
TROPHIES HER FAMOUS MOTHER
GOLDIE HAWN HAD WON SOME 30
YEARS EARLIER.
IN THE TWO DECADES SINCE, HUDSON
HAS STARRED IN A RUN OF HIT
ROMANTIC COMEDIES, LAUNCHED A
SUCCESSFUL ATHLETIC BRAND AND
RAISED A MIXED FAMILY OF THREE
CHILDREN RANGING FROM TODDLER TO
TEENAGER.
KATE AND I GOT TOGETHER THE
OTHER DAY FOR A VIRTUAL SUNDAY
SIT-DOWN.
>> I GOT MAKEUP FLYING IN.
>> MY GLAM SQUAD.
>> YES.
EXCUSE ME.
I JUST BURPED.
A LITTLE MORNING BURP.
>> KEEPING IT REAL.
FOR KAIDTE HUDSON, IT MEANS A L
OF TIME AT HOME WITH HER THREE
CHILDREN.
WHAT HAVE THESE MONTHS BEEN
LIKE?
>> I WANT TO BE LIKE, IT'S
GREAT.
WE ARE FIGURING IT OUT.
THE REALITY IS THAT ARE DAYS
THAT ARE GREAT AND DAYS I HAVE
TO REMIND MYSELF TO BE GRATEFUL.
I AM A GYPSY.
I CHOSE TO BE AN ACTOR AND A
TRAVELLER.
I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILL YEARS
I WOULD SPEND A YEAR IN ONE
PLACE.
WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY KIDS, YOU
KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE MOMENTS
WHERE YOU ARE HIDING IN YOUR
BATHROOM GOING, PLEASE, PLEASE,
GET ME OUT OF HERE.
I REMIND MYSELF THERE'S PEOPLE
OUT THERE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR
LOVED ONES.
WE JUST GOTTA STAY IN FOR A BIT.
>> THE PANDEMIC PUSHED BACK THE
RELEASE OF HUDSON'S LATEST FILM
CALLED "MUSIC."
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?
CELEBRATING.
>> SHOT BEFORE THE COVID CRISIS,
IT WAS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY
"CHANDELIER."
♪
HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THIS TO
PEOPLE?
>> WE CALL IT A MUSICAL
EXPERIENCE.
IT'S A PIECE OF ART.
THAT'S WHAT THE INTENTION WAS.
HER INTENTION WAS TO MAKE A
MOVIE ABOUT LOVE, ABOUT FINDING
LOVE, ABOUT FEELING WORTHY OF
LOVE.
>> LOOK, YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE
THIS.
>> I PLAY A SOBER DRUG DEALER.
SHE HAS LEARNED TO SURVIVE
THROUGH MANIPULATION, THROUGH
GETTING PEOPLE TO FALL IN LOVE
WITH HER.
THE STORY BRINGS HER TOGETHER
WITH HER SISTER WHO IS SEVERELY
AUTISTIC.
I WANT TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE
WE CAN GO INSIDE THE HEAD OF
THIS BEAUTIFUL CHILD AND SEE
THEM BE ABLE TO EXPRESS
THEMSELVES IN WAYS THEY CAN'T.
♪
>> WE ARE NOT GROUPIES.
>> BORN INTO A HOLLYWOOD FAMILY,
HUDSON FIRST MADE HER OWN NAME
PLAYING PENNY LANE IN THE 2000
FILM "ALMOST FAMOUS."
>> FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE MORE
INTERESTING.
>> A ROLE THAT EARNED HER A
GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD AND AN OSCAR
NOMINATION.
YOU WERE SHOT OUT OF A CANNON
WITH "ALMOST FAMOUS."
>> THAT YEAR OF MY LIFE --
PEOPLE WOULD ASK ME, HOW DOES IT
FEEL?
EVERYTHING WAS HAPPENING SO FAST
IN THAT MOMENT, IN THAT ONE
YEAR.
I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO
DIGEST ANY OF IT.
THEN MY LIFE WAS LIKE WORK,
WORK, WORK.
SIMULTANEOUSLY, I WAS FALLING IN
LOVE WITH THE MOST AMAZING MAN
AND GETTING MARRIED.
YEAH, SHOT OUT OF A CANNON IS
BASICALLY WHAT IT WAS.
>> DOES IT FEEL LIKE A LONG TIME
AGO?
>> A LIFETIME AGO.
TWO LIFETIMES AGO.
>> "ALMOST FAMOUS" LAUNCHED
HUDSON TO A RUN OF ROMANTIC
COMEDIES.
>> WILL YOU MARRY ME?
>> "HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN
DAYS."
HUDSON'S REAL LIFE STORY IS A
BIT MORE COMPLICATED.
BORN TO ACTORS GOLDIE HAWN AND
BILL HUDSON, KATE AND HER OLDER
BROTHER OLIVER GREW UP ESTRANGED
FROM THEIR FATHER.
THEY WERE RAISED BY GOLDIE AND
HER PARTNER KURT RUSSELL.
A COMPLEX FAMILY DYNAMIC.
A POPULAR TOPIC ON HER PODCAST
WHICH SHE HOSTS WITH HER
BROTHER.
>> I THINK THAT ESTRANGEMENT IS
UNFORTUNATELY QUITE COMMON.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
TALK ABOUT THAT.
SOMETIMES NEED A LITTLE TALK AND
HUMOR TO MOVE US INTO PLACES
WHERE WE CAN HEAL SOME OF THE
WOUNDS THAT HAVE AFFECTED US
FROM OUR FAMILIES.
>> I THINK FROM THE OUTSIDE,
PEOPLE LOOK AT YOUR FAMILY AND
THEY ARE LIKE, YOU HAVE THIS
GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MOM
AND KURT.
IT SEEMS THAT WAY THROUGH THE
YEARS.
YOU ARE ALL SO CLOSE.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS OTHER
PIECE IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN
GNAW AT YOU OR A NEW REVELATION?
>> IT'S A 41-YEAR-OLD ISSUE.
I HAVE A GREAT FAMILY.
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER.
I HAVE A STEPFATHER WHO STEPPED
IN AND PLAYED A HUGE, HUGE PART
IN SHARING WHAT IT IS TO HAVE A
DEPENDABLE FATHER FIGURE IN OUR
LIFE.
BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM
THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW OUR
DAD.
PEOPLE SOMETIMES NEED TO HEAR
THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE IN THAT.
>> HUDSON'S OWN THREE CHILDREN
ARE FROM THREE DIFFERENT
RELATIONSHIPS.
>> I HAVE MULTIPLE DADS.
I'VE GOT KIDS ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
THE ONLY EXPECTATIONS I HAVE
THAT ARE REALLY HIGH IN MY LIFE
IS WITH MY KIDS AND WITH FAMILY
STUFF.
OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S LIKE, I
JUST LET IT GO.
I DO IT.
I WORK MY [ BLEEP ] OFF.
THEN I WALK AWAY.
I HOPE FOR THE BEST.
>> NOW HUDSON IS DIVING INTO HER
LATEST PROJECT.
THE SECOND SEASON OF THE APPLE
TV PLUS DRAMA "TRUTH BE TOLD"
WHERE SHE STARS WITH OSCAR
WINNER OCTAVIA SPENCER.
>> SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE KNOWN HER MY
WHOLE LIFE.
YOU KNOW?
IT'S LIKE SOUL MATE STUFF.
>> HOW CRAZY ARE THE PROTOCOLS?
>> WE'RE VERY STRICT.
I WAS LOOKING AT IT THE OTHER
DAY WITH ALL OF OUR [ BLEEP ]
ON.
WE HAD OUR -- THE MASK AND
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR SHIELD AND
THE THING AND WHATEVER.
I LOOK, GOD, WE ARE -- WE'RE
NUTS.
WE ARE SHOOTING A SHOW IN THE
MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC AND SO
HAPPY TO BE AT WORK.
>> IT WAS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT MY
SISTER AND I DID THE PODCAST
WITH YOU AND OLIVER.
TAKING THE GUILTY AWAY.
>> I LOVE THAT.
TAKE MY GUILT AWAY.
>> ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE THAT I
SAT WITH BEFORE THE -- BEFORE

FOLLOWING WEEK IT WAS OCTAVIA
