no
end.
Sleight of Mind (2006)
A young woman -- with ulterior motives -- along with her boyfriend,
befriends an older magician suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Almost Famous (2000)
If Canada's Sarah Polley hadn't backed out of the role of groupie "Penny Lane" in this hit flick about a young, aspiring journalist tagging along with a band, Kate Hudson's smashing big break may not have happened so quickly. After begging for the part, she got it, along with a Golden Globe win for Best Supporting Actress as well as an Oscar nod.
How
to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) Going t�te-�-t�te with
Matthew McConaughey, playing the sweet, but savvy magazine editor Andie
Anderson, proved Hudson was a star with great comic timing and a talented
actress to boot. The Skeleton Key (2005) Playing private nurse Caroline Ellis in this thriller showed Hudson was capable of successfully carrying a film.
