Kate Hudson on overcoming fear and rejection

The 45-year-old Oscar nominee - whose parents are Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson - is best known for her acting career but last month unleashed her debut album, titled Glorious. Reflecting to Variety on her reason for waiting to make music, the star says she would have been devastated if she released music in her twenties and it flopped. "Rejection, generally, I can handle," she said. "I think when you're growing up and you want to follow in your family's footsteps… I'm not sure people realise how tough-skinned you have to be to get there."
