Kate Hudson on Jeanie Buss' Involvement in 'Running Point'

"Running Point" star Kate Hudson talks about the real-life woman her character, Isla Gordon, is based on. The Netflix comedy is loosely based on the life of Jeanie Buss, the president of the Los Angeles Lakers. Hudson says Buss, who is also an executive producer on "Running Point," "gave us the liberty to take her life story, and make this insane comedy around it." Hudson adds, "She's an amazing woman."
