With Kate Hudson as your mom and Goldie Hawn as your grandmother, it’s almost a given – you’re destined for stardom. It seems the Running Point actress's daughter, Rani, already has her sight set on stepping into the spotlight.
During a live Awards Chatter podcast panel at the inaugural Newport Beach TV Fest, Kate shared that her daughter is very different from her two sons, Ryder, 21, and Bingham, 13, and wants to pursue a career in the arts.

This isn't the first time Kate has opened up about her daughter's bold personality. During an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers in March, the actress revealed that Rani is her biggest observer when it comes to her acting work.
"Rani is like my great critic," she shared.

Well because, and she's blocking notes, that's the joke. And she's like 'but it's not funny'. And I was like, 'well mauve it'll be funny when you never see it'."
Kate's career
During the podcast panel, Kate reminisced on her acting career and shared that she spent a lot of time on her stepdad Kurt Russell's film sets. "My dad’s sets were the fun sets," she said.
"It was like Big Trouble in Little China and we had slides that would go down into rubber fish, and these amazing costumes."

"There was never a question, but really falling in love with the circus was something that I don’t think all kids actually have when they're on a set."
