Biography
Early life

After leaving San Francisco at the age of six, she grew up mainly on the East Coast, spending the rest of her youth in Darien, Connecticut and Cohasset, Massachusetts. Bosworth was born with heterochromia, which resulted in the iris of her right eye having two different colors: hazel and blue. Her left eye is completely blue.
While in high school, Bosworth learned to speak Spanish and was a member of the National Honor Society; she also played varsity soccer and lacrosse.

Bosworth's first film role came after an open casting call in New York for the supporting part of "Judith" in the 1998 film, The Horse Whisperer. At age fourteen, Bosworth was a already champion equestrian, and successfully auditioned for the role. She subsequently had a supporting part in the 2000 film Remember the Titans.
