We never thought we’d see the day when acne and Wonderland star Kate Bosworth were mentioned in the same sentence, but for some strange reason, Kate appeared on the red carpet to promote — you guessed it — an acne gel.

From Wonderland to Crime Drama: Kate Bosworth’s Acting Range

Thirteen years earlier, she starred as Dawn Schiller, the girlfriend of Val Kilmer as John Holmes, in James Cox’s 2003 American crime drama film Wonderland.

Based on the true story of the 1981 Wonderland Avenue murders, the film tells the story of four people who were brutally murdered in a drug-related crime at 8763 Wonderland Avenue in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Age Contrast: Kate Bosworth and Val Kilmer in Wonderland

When Wonderland was released at the Toronto Film Festival on September 8, 2003, Kate Bosworth was 20 years old.

Val Kilmer and Kate Bosworth have a significant age difference, as Kilmer is older than Bosworth by over 20 years. He was born on December 31, 1959, which means that he was 43 years old when Wonderland was released in 2003.

The real Dawn Schiller was fifteen years old in 1976 when she met thirty-two-year-old porn star John Holmes. Born on August 8, 1944, Holmes was 37 years old when the Wonderland murders took place in 1981. Dawn Schiller was born on February 28, 1963, and was 18 years old at the time of the murders.

At the launch of Aczone Gel, 7.5% in New York City, Kate stepped out in front of the cameras wearing an updated Audrey Hepburn look.

The then-33-year-old actress wore a dreamy silk dress by Jason Wu, which featured a corset-like bust and romantic draping at the bottom.

Kate matched the dress with gold pointed-toe pumps from a Giuseppe Zanotti 2014 collection.

To our knowledge, Kate’s skin has always been flawless, probably making her the perfect ambassador for any skincare line.

Still, the actress went the extra mile to ensure her makeup artist got every blemish perfectly concealed.
