The 'Bride Wars' star - whose mother reaches the milestone today (21.11.15) - wrote a poem to celebrate the actress' big birthday.

She wrote: "She never seemed to follow in line / Always a bit on the outside, goofy by design / She danced her own beat / Played her own drum / Shook the worlds axis a bit being seemingly dumb / But dumb she was not / Smart as a whip / And her beauty was something many found hard to resist.

"But she had one desire that grew with the years / To be happy she says, to be happy without fear / People laughed in her face and said don't be so silly / But she paid no mind to those who could not see as clearly / She may not have remembered that day in the clouds / But her message is pure and of the touch of God / Find your joy she says, what brings you joy."

Meanwhile, Goldie previously revealed she has taught the 36-year-old actress to be "self-sustaining".

She explained: "Kate is in a similar situation to what I was. Self-sustaining in many ways, obviously financially.

"And our children have grown up also understanding that's a fair deal. Women working for themselves isn't such a bad thing."
