Kate Hudson on Launching a Music Career, Two Decades Into Acting Stardom: ‘It Would Have Felt Too Vulnerable in My 20s — I Don’t Have That Fear of Rejection Anymore’

Kate Hudson talks about music as her great love, her debut album, 'Glorious,' and launching that while shooting a Netflix comedy, 'Running Point.'

Now that she’s been doing live TV appearances and making her public performance debut at a star-filled L.A. show, it’s clear that she’s the real deal, as a rocker, and could have credibly played a star and not just a groupie in “Almost Famous,” had an early ’70s female rock superstar been somewhat anachronistically written into that script. Hudson hasn’t given up her day job: When she spoke with Variety, she was in the final week of shooting “ Running Point,” a Netflix comedy series that has Mindy Kaling among the creators, set in the basketball world in which she plays a Jeannie Buss-type figure. And then on top of it, with this cast and this crew on this show, we are having the time of our lives, and I laugh so hard every day I was just looking around last night at this big arena we were shooting in, with all these people and the (basketball) players, and I was like, this has been such a dream job.
