Kate Bosworth?


I know that Kate is an incredibly common name (my sister's name is Kate). But does anyone else think it's a little funny that the character's name is Kate Bosworth of all things. I just found it amusing.

I know right? especially since Kate Bosworth was such a popular actress back then, like hello couldn't they have like changed her name or something? I mean it is so strange that they picked her name of all things. because you know like this insignificant coincidence (if even that) was so relative at the time this movie was made.

No need to be snide. I wonder if KB's parents were aware of this movie or if it was unintentional.

I thought that was funny, too. It hadn't occurred to me watching the film that that was her full name...then I saw the cast list here, and thought, "KATE BOSWORTH?!"

I know a woman of nordic ancestry who's maiden name is Greta Gustafson (Greta Garbo's real name). I think she said people only bring it up about once every 5 years.

I know right? Like this was before 'Pearl harbor' and everything.

Hello ullababe02:

"Like" exactly what are you talking about? "Like" "Kate Bosworth was such a popular actress back then." "Like" who in the world are you talking about? "Like" the Catherine (Kate) Bosworth born in 1983 versus "like" the film version character of 1946, "like" almost a forty year period; "like" her parents never even saw the film or knew there was such a character. "Like" who the heck is Kate (Catherine) Bosworth anyway?

At least nobody said it was ironic.

I thought the snide comment was so funny ;)
What about Patricia Bosworth, not also a famous person or sorts, maybe a writer?

Patricia Bosworth is a former actress (best known for playing Simone, the novice who leaves the convent in The Nun's Story). She left acting in the mid 1960s to become a journalist.
