    I wish I had made a bunch of garbage movies. You know what the best part is? You still get paid. If someone handed me $5 million to be in a movie, I don’t care if it is Sharknadooctopus versus Dinoturtlecroc 13: Escape from the Sewers, again... in 3D” and I would show up to work every single day whistling a happy little tune.

    “With or without a theatrical hit,” writes La Ferla, “Ms. Hudson manages to hold the public eye.” She calls Hudson, Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, Katie Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow “professional beauties,” and defines the term as a person who “has risen above the occasional career lull to thrive as fashion billboards and media personalities.”

    Dude counterparts?

      Men in Hollywood continue to get interesting and challenging parts well into their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. With rare exception (like Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, and Helen Mirren) women do not. They age out around 30 and can't get work in Hollywood movies so they must look elsewhere for work.

      You’re totally correct, of course. There’s clearly an age cutoff for women where there isn’t for men. I’m more curious to know which men make a living AS professional beauties... OOO!

      Jonathan Goldsmith! How could I forget! Talk about men lacking a societal expiration date on beauty.

    fashion and acting do not automatically go hand in hand. if they did, we wouldn’t need those worst- and best-dressed lists.

    you can be a great actor and dress terribly, and vice versa.

    you can be a great doctor and be really bad at decorating your home.

    WHO GIVES A SHIT

      I’m tired, too. I’m tired of people talking about what stars have style and which ones don’t, when THEY ALL HIRE STYLISTS. They do not choose their own clothes for events! Also, celebrity brands? Guess what- they license their names to existing manufacturers with DESIGN TEAMS!!! You’d be better able to judge their style/ fashion sense by looking at how they dress when they’re running errands, if they don’t have assistants doing that. Stars, they’re not like us!

      More coffee.

    She’s tiny and blonde... is it a big shock that she was courted by the fashion industry?

    I don’t think I’ve liked her in a movie since “Almost Famous”

      I’m honestly more perplexed why Sienna Miller is still so famous than I am Kate Hudson.

    I’ve always found Kate Hudson very likeable, though I do think she’s a bit silly, and I really like her looks and fashion sense too. So I totally get her as a “professional beauty” (which could be a useful term) and fashion aspiration. But damn, she’s gotta stop with the fillers. Her face is at least half again the size it used to be.

    Those are meant to try to recreate your youthful facial fullness, Kate, not triple it!

      yeah, she recently did an interview on Today (?) where she looked mad puffy. i think it’s diet/partying too bc she had that Lohan underchin/lower face bloat. But when I look at her Instagram videos, she looks normal and gorgeous.

      Yeah, a lot of Hollywood seems to be pumping their face with fillers, and it makes them look so bloated and unnatural. idek what face that is that she’s making in the header image. Try and make that expression naturally- it’s so bizarre.

    While that’s very nice defending her against the ageism, Hudson represents a lot of what is bad in the fashion/celebs industries. She is not a model, and she is on cover because of “lifestyle/ vaguely artistic image she carries”. However, everything she has is her thinness, white blondness and the fact that her parents are super famous. So, sorry, defending endogamy and reproduction of privileges when called out for once in NYT is a bit weird to me.

    That being said, I have nothing about not so talented actors that still want to make it. Not everybody can be Cate Blanchett, and that’s ok.

      The NYT article isn’t calling out anything except the oddity of her being a fashion success despite not being a box office success. There is nothing in that article dealing in any depth with her whiteness, blondness, thinness, parentage, or any other privilege that might give her an advantage in fashion. It is basically “I am stumped that she is so successful!” That makes the article even worse - it could tackle those issues, but doesn’t, opting instead for feigned befuddlement. Don’t give NYT more credit than they deserve.

    NYT seems to be entirely clueless. People leverage fame on a *whole lot less* than Ms. Hudson. She’s the daughter of a famous person who’s been in a bunch of movies and is quite beautiful.

    Some people manage to keep hawking stuff and hustling after a couple bad reality show appearances. Wake up NYT, it’s called *marketing savvy*.

    DUH :)

      just here to correct that penny lane wasn’t a band promoter, she was a groupie and a muse and an addict and an intensely complicated female character written perfectly by a man and played beautifully by “just a fashion icon”
