In a recent interview, Kate Hudson opened up about the real-life inspiration behind her character in the Netflix comedy series 'Running Point.' The show, which loosely follows the life of Los Angeles Lakers president Jeanie Buss, stars Hudson as Isla Gordon—a fictionalized version of Buss.
Hudson praised Buss for granting the creative team the freedom to adapt her life story into a comedic narrative. "She gave us the liberty to take her life story and make this insane comedy around it," Hudson said. The actress also expressed admiration for Buss, calling her "an amazing woman."
Buss serves as an executive producer on the series, ensuring authenticity while allowing room for humor. 'Running Point' is now streaming on Netflix.
