after her breakout role on the TV show “Young Americans.”
She then landed as Lois Lane in “Superman Returns” in 2008.
Playing Heidi was such a true parallel to my own life.

She’s 24 years old.
It was a real honor for me to raise her with her dad and her mom.
It’s such an important dynamic to explore so that people understand.

I feel like there [are] so many blended families today.
I was excited to play her because I don’t often get the opportunity to explore comedy very much.
I remember when I was reading the script, I was laughing out loud because I thought … Hi, I’m Kate.

So nice to meet you."
So much of that I put into Heidi.
She’s a new mom, so she’s barely getting any sleep.
The relationship between her and Auden is such a special one.
I love working withAndie MacDowelland having that very special moment between stepmother and biological mother.
“Along For the Ride” releases on May 6 on Netflix.
