    Interesting tidbit. Thanks for that. I googled her and she looked familiar. Can't remember if I saw her in any movies though.
    I just don't get what's so special about Kate Hudson. Extremely bland. Now, her mom, she is something! Very talented. Apparently, the actor gene did not pass through to the daughter.

    She's done mostly independent films and Canadian films (think David Cronenburg, Atom Egoyan) and directed a few as well (notably "Away from Her").

    I don't know about Kate Hudson as an actress in general, but her performance in Almost Famous is pretty damn good. The scene where he tells her she was sold to Humble Pie for beer is, in my opinion, acting perfection.

    Very useless fact on ALMOST FAMOUS very useless. Near the end where William, interviews Russel for the last time and asks Russel "what do you love about music" Russel turns the chair around throws the t-shirts on the floor but the very next scene you see the t-shirts right back on the chair.
    Told you it was useless.

    Lol Scott, It really was totally useless haha, but thanks anyway! We're all to share whether it's useful or not :P We're a jamily, we accept ALL ;).

    Can't wait for that pickle Senrock! ;)

    I agreewith Jwillmo, in general I never really liked Kate Hudson and honestly, I still don't, but in Almost Famous she was really good, I thought that scene was also great, she did a very fine job in that movie! But yeah, Her mother is out of this world, she's a great actress!

    Yea, I always do that with movies not just ALMOST FAMOUS. I look for the stuff that doesn't match, or the glitches.....kinda ruins movies for me. I guess back in High School when I took the film course kinda stuck with me :)

    haha Scott :D and you know what? I'm like that too! I pay attention to the strangest things in movies! I go Like "In that scene the glass a mintue ago was full of water and now the next mintue it's half empty and he didn't even drink it! DID YOU NOTICE THAT?!", Yeah, I do that too lol, but for some reason I sometimes think it's fun to notice all the mistakes and glithces and all, lol, it gives you something to do after you've seen the movie a thousand times :p Don't worry you're not alone ;) and wow, Film School, that's pretty cool, lucky duck :p

    Sarah Polley was originally supposed to play Penny Lane, but early into rehersals she realized that the movie was going to be a very big commercial success in the US and would launch whatever actress who played the role into the limelight in a big way... and she didn't want that for her career. So she left the movie and it went to Kate Hudson, who is now famous for it....


    It is a good thing she passed on this movie and held out for more artistic, meaningful scripts like the remake of Dawn of the Dead.

    I like that movie too. I just thought it was funny that Sarah Polley decided to pass on Almost Famous becuase it would be too much of a hit and she would rather do more smaller artistic films, and then she goes and does a big hollywood zombie movie.

    Oh, yea maybe not a glitch.....I think it is. When the plane hits its first air pocket You can see BEBE laughing his ass off in the background.....like he was on a rollercoaster. Only Russel was laughing at the time. I might be stretching on this one. The next scene you see BEBE in he was dead serious.

    Really great movie, it was on TV at midnight a couple of months ago and I ended up staying up till 3 to watch the whole thing. A true "feel good" movie with a sick soundtrack. Also after reading some of the Cameron Crowe article on PJ from when he followed them around, you can definitly tell there are more than a few nods to them throughout the movie as well as Zeppelin and many others as already mentioned here. Next Pearl Jam tour, 1st encore, Fever Dog, you heard it here first! :)

    God I love that movie! Every thing about it~ Watched it countless times so much that I know it almost word for word. Feel like I lived it. Maybe I did? Ya~know actually I kinda have....
    I thought Kate was Penny Lane in fact.....her smile....her spirit....she fit the part as far as I am concerned. I cant see anyone else.
    The entire cast~ sound track ~ total package was perfect.
    Oh Man~ now I have to go watch it again~ its been a few months now


    DONT do DRUGS!!!!
