Hudson tops People's 'most beautiful' list

Los Angeles -- Hollywood actress Kate Hudson has topped People magazine's "100 Most Beautiful People" list.

Hudson, 29, has starred in the films "Almost Famous," "Le Divorce," "Raising Helen," "The Skeleton Key" and "You, Me and Dupree."

She is the divorced mother of a 4-year-old boy.

"I was a tomboy," Hudson told People magazine. "I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed."
