Stunning actress Kate Hudson has been named People magazine’s ‘Most Beautiful Cover Girl’. Obviously it is not hard to see why the lovely 29 year old was chosen. The sleep deprived mother of four year old Ryder shows no evidence of the ravages of motherhood.

Growing up in the business with her mother Goldie Hawn and long-time boyfriend Kurt Russell, Kate decided at an early age that this was the business for her. The young actresses breakout performance on the big screen was her unforgettable role in Almost Famous in 2000. She won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for that body of work. Not wanting the industry to think that she had an ‘in’, Kate worked her butt off to prove that she could also make a name for herself on her own.

Telling the magazine that she grew up with 3 brothers and leaned toward the tomboy side, she always had a dress on. The dress was almost always dirty and her knees scraped and body bruised but there was something she loved about being able to twirl around in a dress.

Married to The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson in 2000, the couple split in 2006 but they seem to have a mutual respect for each other and are often seen in public together with their son.

In her interview with People, Kate hints at which of her body parts she likes the most and talks about her relationship with actor Owen Wilson and even sheds a little light on her battle to lose the baby weight after the birth of Ryder.

The special issue of People will be on stands this Friday. Not only will you see Kate but the other 99 beautiful people who made the list.
