The oft-cited story of how Kate Hudson came to play Claire Sardina in “Song Sung Blue” is a good one. As it goes, her eventual co-star Hugh Jackman saw Hudson performing and chatting on “CBS Sunday Morning” in 2024, where the actress and Oscar nominee was promoting her soon-to-be-released solo album, “Glorious.” Jackman, who was already on board to star as Mike Sardina in Craig Brewer’s fact-based film, was so taken by Hudson’s energy (and singing!) that he immediately texted Brewer that he had found their Claire.
The real story of how Hudson found her way to the role is a bit more complicated. It’s not just about the film itself, but Hudson’s own path through Hollywood, her long-burning desire to mount a singing career in tandem with her acting, and a years-ago decision to start pursuing the stuff she had long felt was unavailable to her.
