#1 Kate Hudson
Actress Kate Hudson first gained fame with her breakthrough role as Penny Lane in the 2000 comedy-drama film Almost Famous, earning a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and receiving an Oscar nomination in the same category (per PEOPLE).
It’s well known that the 46-year-old comes from one of Hollywood’s most famous families, but she insists her success in the entertainment industry isn’t merely because of that. “The nepotism thing, I mean… I don’t really care,” Hudson told The Independent. “I look at my kids and we’re a storytelling family. It’s definitely in our blood. People can call it whatever they want, but it’s not going to change it.”
Many still believe that the allegedly untalented actress made it to Hollywood thanks to her family of stars. “They can never just own it [nepotism],” one commenter joked on Instagram, while a second added, “It's so much cuter when people acknowledge their privilege.”
