Early life
Bosworth was born in Los Angeles, California to Hal Bosworth (an executive for Talbot) and Patricia Potter (a homemaker). 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.

Career
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. In 2001, Bosworth moved to Los Angeles in hopes of obtaining easier access to auditions and better film parts. Her first leading role was in 2002's surfing movie, Blue Crush. The film received positive reviews and grossed $40 million at the United States box office, allowing Bosworth wider exposure to a mainstream audience.

Between 2002 and 2005, Bosworth appeared in a number of widely released films.
