In 2002, when "Blue Has a Lover" was released in major theaters, many people thought it was another stupid bikini girl surf movie, but instead, fans saw the story of three hotel waitresses struggling to realize their professional surfer dreams and battling class poverty, and film critics also found Kate Potsworth, who was expected to be crowned Hollywood's bright rising star, and although her next film, "Idol Has a Date" in 2004, failed at the box office, the famous critic Roger Ebert said, Potsworth expressed this formulaic comedy in a sweet way
However, Potsworth debuted twenty years ago, only two critically acclaimed roles, personal career has experienced several fiascos, the relationship has also gone from high-profile publicity to tragic ending, she could have shined like Scarlett Johansson, but deviated from the course with her own excellent conditions, so let's take a closer look at the other side of this hollywood top celebrity

Superman Returns, directed by Brian Singer in 2006, was considered a triumphant return after Nearly 20 Years of Superman's silence, and Warner Bros. predicted that the film was bound to succeed, but things did not go according to plan, the film received a mediocre response, only a small success, barely recovered the $270 million production budget, and the critics blamed the failure on two stars, Brandon Rose and Kate Potsworth
Potsworth, who was 22 at the time, was too young to play the fearless, cynical journalist Louis Lane, and although her first heroine was slammed to the point of being out of place, she humbly accepted or even agreed to criticism of her starring in Louis Lane, saying in an interview in 2017, "I was just a kid and didn't know the experience of a 22-year-old, and now, I'm 34 years old and have enough confidence and experience to flesh out every role."

However, 2011 was the year Potsworth regrouped, and Bird was hailed as a Sundance Film Festival hit, but it failed to turn the sensation into a commercial success, and didn't become mainstream news until its director was sent to jail for blackmail, followed by the black comedy Another Happy Day, which grossed just $8,464 worldwide
