Goldie Hawn

Foul Play

Everybody Says I Love You

The First Wives Club

I always think of that scene in Best Friends when she took too many pills and fell face-first into a mound of tuna salad.

Overboard and Death Becomes Her.

Private Benjamin

Foul Play

Laugh-in.

Foul Play

Goldie gave the best performance in the First Wives Club. She had that scene talking about what it's like to get older in Hollywood, and she had the funniest lines.

Kate Hudson will never have the fraction of the charisma her mother has. She's too bitchy and humourless, although I think she is a decent actress.

Goldie can make even a pedestrian film like Protocol that much better because of her presence.

I love Overboard and Death Becomes Her. She was the best part of The First Wives Club.

And she doesn't get enough credit for Wildcats. One of my favourite '80s comedies.

Kate Hudson's one and only good role was in Almost Famous. I don't care enough to delve further into her career.

I had to explain that Goldie Hawn was the more talented mother of a rather mediocre actress whose name was the same as Katy Perry's original name, hence her stage name Katy Perry. We were actually talking about Katy Perry, and before that, Christian rock.

A funny/crazy story related to Goldie:

Straight porn stars Damien Cashmere from the 80s and early 90s (an odd-looking, skinny (back then anyway) latino guy with a big dick) put together a one-man comedy type stage show a few years ago in NY. He told a story about how he fucked Goldie at a swingers party as Kurt Russell watched. Damien had put on a couple hundred pounds since being in porn, and suffered a stroke or heart attack after telling the Goldie story and died backstage at the club he was performing at.

Back when Rolling Stone was relevant

Oh, I see the resemblance.

Liked her in Housesitter and Overboard.

My votes are Overboard, Housesitter, and First Wives Club.

The first half of Private Benjamin (to the end of basic training--her rapport with Eileen Brennan was wonderful). The Sugarland Express.

The First Wives Club

OP, I think of Kate as Goldie's daughter.

^.

Protocol!

R12, god got him for that.

I resent her for alienating Kate and Oliver from their father. It's just evil and on spite.

Housesitter is Goldie at her best. The movie is kind of slight but she is adorable in it.

It's all the more impressive that she was not involved in pre-production at all, and only took over when Meg Ryan had problems with her part and walked away from the set saying "if you want Goldie Hawn, then go hire Goldie Hawn" or something like that.

Meg Ryan did have a similar Goldie Hawn appeal. But then after a little while, everyone looked at her and thought, "Oh my God, what did she do to her face?"

She doesn't get enough credit for her success as a leading lady. She was the star of Private Benjamin, Protocol, Swing Shift, Wildcats and Overboard (and even got top billing over Kurt). She was already in her mid-30s by this time and was able to lead her own films.

She was a producer on Swing Shift and - good or bad - she had enough power to have director Jonthan Demme go back and reshoot the film to make her character look better.

I would still love to see the Demme workprint of Swing Shift. Apparently Hawn is outstanding in it.

I prefer Death Becomes Her.

She had a gorgeous fanny and it was best if she could show it off.

I've always loved Goldie's 'Neck Bangs.'

I thought Goldie and Kurt were like an 80s Lucy and Desi. She played the wacky screwball roles, which belied her own personality. And she was also behind the scenes, producing and calling the shots.

My family fell in love with her for Laugh-In.

[quote]It's funny that most people think of Goldie Hawn as Kate Hudson's mother.

Is this a post from 2002?

Cactus Flower! It’s hilarious.

Death Becomes Her is one of my favorite films of all time, and my favorite movie of hers. She's had so many great roles and I wish she would act more because she's iconic. Fun fact, one of her relatives married some cousin on my dad's side and my grandparents met Kurt and Goldie at the wedding. After my grandmother had passed, I was going through the photo albums and found a poloroid of Goldie from that wedding. I still have it with my family photos

No love for Seems Like Old Times? And WTF thinks of Goldie’s as “Kate’s mother”? Ridiculous. Even Kate doesn’t think that.

I mean FFS, Goldie WON her Oscar.

Goldie tells Ruby Wax about how Al Capp exposed himself to her during one of her first auditions.

Is Kurt still a hunter? Is he GOP?

I still think of Goldie as that bubble head idiot from Laugh-in who won somehow a supporting Oscar for her first movie.

Seems Like Old Times is my favorite Hawn movie, though I love Overboard, Best Friends, Wildcats and Protocol. I even liked Bird on a Wire. Her only real bomb for me was Deceived. I stopped watching her later stuff because I found it hard to watch her messing with her lips and face.

And Kate Hudson has always been and will always be Goldie’s daughter to me. Kate had one good movie.

I love her in Butterflies are Free, Foul Play and Shampoo. She didn't seem to work that much and often in material beneath of talent. A true original.

I believe the swinger's club story because I once saw Kurt coming out of a Times Square sex store mid-afternoon alone. I believe they have an open relationship.

Foul Play, Overboard, Housesitter, Pvt Benjamin are all great,

Goldie can carry a movie, unlike Meg. Foul Play focuses solely on her. Aside from the initial scene, Chevy does not appear until the 45 minute mark.

I love Goldie Hawn and agree she is a true original. My favs are Private Benjamin, First Wives Club, and Seems Like Old Times. But I enjoy her in most anything she does. And boy can she dance. She really showed Bette Midler what stage presence really is. She just exudes joy better than any actress I can think of.

Oh, I forgot about Cactus Flower!

There were photos of Kurt coming out of a happy endings massage place in LA a few years ago.

She was still very good in The Banger Sisters in 2002. She should'nt have come back for Snatched.

Why did she drop out of “The Viagra Diaries”?

Showgirls with Goldie and Madonna might have been a more watchable movie.

Death Becomes Her

Overboard

Laugh*In

I actually liked her more as a personality than an actress in any of her movies. She was always honest during interviews, like the one posted with Barbara Walters.

Loved her in Shampoo

why didn't she ever identify as Jewish?

She identified on screen.

A former colleague of mine did summer stock with her, playing Lady Capulet to her Juliet. She said the story about Goldie showing up to the audition with the part memorized is an exaggeration, but she said that there WAS something about her that stood out--something more than the stereotype dumb blonde. She also worked with Georgia Engel when they were both in Hawaii (my colleague got her masters there and I think Engel grew up there). Her imitation of Engel was uncanny.

"Goldie" is a very Jewish name. She just didn't make a big deal of it.

Goldie and Kurt are pretty (in)famous for their open relationship. I loved her in Foul Play, everybody looked great in that movie, and San Francisco looked so gorgeous. She played the librarian to perfection toon. Plus it wasn’t strictly a screwball comedy

Eileen Heckart won an Oscar for playing the mother of Goldie's roommate in "Butterflies are Free." She also played Diane Keaton's mom in "The First Wives Club."

She was so charming in Everyone Says I Love You. While mostly everyone else sang like shit, Goldie sounded lovely and stole every scene she was in. I really thought she might have gotten another Oscar nomination.

In the early '90s, she did some more dramatic roles like Deceived and CrissCross but Hawn was smart enough to know that people preferred her in comedic roles (although she is a fine dramatic actress).

According to imdb, she and Kurt were on the verge of breaking up in 2003 and 2004

R60 2000 and 2004

I was five or six when I saw "Foul Play" for the first time; loved it and still do! I equated Laura Branigan's song "Gloria" to Goldie Hawn's character, so I must have seen it around 1982.

Turned down The Day of the Locust (1975), Family Plot (1976), Pretty Baby (1978), Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), The Main Event (1979), Atlantic City (1980), Making Love(1982) and Big Business (1988).

She truly was delightful in Butterflies are Free. Who was that cutie who played the blind guy op?

Laugh-In castmate Judy Carne reportedly was so jealous of Goldie it caused her to start using heroin.

Recorded and released a self-titled solo pop-country LP for Warner Bros. in 1972 with the production help of Dolly Parton and Buck Owens. One single was released (a cover of the bluegrass classic "Uncle Pen" with the flip side "Butterfly"), but it failed to chart.

There was some story here on DL how she dumped Oliver and Kate on nannies, or her parents, and went off on some wild fuck fest in Europe for almost a year.

Swing Shift went through a major bout of editing. Some say this was due to the tensions between Hawn and Demme. Many of Lahti's scenes were re-shot or cut entirely, due to Hawn's belief that she was stealing scenes.

Apparently Goldie & Diane Keaton couldn't stand working with the Divine Miss M on The First Wives Club. Perhaps that's why there has never been a sequel.

Beth Midler seems to have problems getting along with everyone. People apparently wanted to strangle her on the set of The Stepford Wives.

Bette Midler was cartoonish and over-the-top in First Wives Club. There are some scenes where I think there must be a better take than the one used.

Everyone DESPISED Bette Midler on FIRST WIVES CLUB, including (now deceased) director Hugh Wilson, co-star Bronson Pinchot, and (allegedly), Diane Keaton and Goldie, both of whom have suffered other show biz fools previously, if not gladly.

Bette may be (somewhat) better liked on Bway in her elder years. But she's had very, very few colleagues with nice things to say and who wish to reprise the experience.

Funny that if that's true, r67, Lahti's performance was just too good that even minimizing it, she still got an Oscar nomination.

False premise of OP. Silly really. No need to make shit up.

Maybe Hawn felt bad about Lahti because she cast her in a 1997 movie she directed.

Her second cousin is Bryan Hawn.

Goldie and Liza

R73. False premise? Dumbest comment of the day.

yaz complete BS: "It's funny that most people think of Goldie Hawn as Kate Hudson's mother."

Kate Hudson makes millions from her clothing line and branding endorsements. She also works more and makes more money than her mom. Most people under 30 do not know who Goldie Hawn is.

blah blah blah blah blah

R78 yaz queen

R80 busy day?

R80 hey, Aurora!

R80 is referencing a hilarious line in one of Goldie’s movies - except it was uttered By Goldie’s Oscar winning co-star...

"First Wives Club" is being rebooted as a series for BET. Starring Hazel Scott and Mrs. Sterling K. Jordan.

R80 was fucking "referencing" ME.

"Bette Midler was cartoonish and over-the-top in First Wives Club. "

Bette Midler is cartoonish and over the top in EVERYTHING. That's a large part of her appeal.

It gets better:

"Laugh-In castmate Judy Carne reportedly was so jealous of Goldie it caused her to start using heroin."

What you Goldie fans make up is beyond nuts.

My issue with Goldie, aside from her limited talent, is that I have trouble keeping up with her nose jobs.

She's a team player. She plays off other actors beautifully and gives back. I think that's one reason why she was so appealing.

R87 it's from imdb dumbshit

IMDB is as reliable as Wikipedia, stupid mutherfucker, R89.

Goldie Hawn was delightful in “Cactus Flower”, though I still wish Catherine Burns had won the Oscar that year for her outstanding performance in “Last Summer”. I also loved her sparring with the wonderful Eileen Heckart in “Butterflies are Free”.

The roles Goldie played onscreen in “Cactus Flower” and “Butterflies Are Free” were originally played in Broadway by (respectively) Brenda Vaccaro and Blythe Danner.

Brenda Vaccaro was smoking hot when she was younger.

When she was starting out and trying to break through, she had producers make clear they wanted sex first - the old casting couch. She told them to go fuck themselves. She said she realized it was going to make a breakthrough harder but she didn't care. May be why she worked with a lot of women and later produced herself.

She told that story a good while ago. Years ago. Makes me wonder now if one of them was Weinstein? Does he go that far back? (60's?) Did she ever speak about the recent scandal?

I liked THERE'S A GIRL IN MY SOUP when I was a kid, but I haven't seen it for years.

Love FOUL PLAY and PRIVATE BENJAMIN.

Also had a fondness for DECEIVED - it's like Goldie's INTERIORS, not a laugh to be had (except for one).

I remember seeing Goldie on this Malibu People magazine cover at the bookstore in the mall (a phrase you never hear anymore)

Butterflies are Free

Her beaming smile at the end of SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES is perfect.

No one's mentioned The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox with George Segal. She sings in this too. Hilarious movie, but I like Foul Play as well.

Protocol isn’t a great movie but it was one of my favorites growing up - I saw it in the theater when I was 7 or 8 and then watched it on HBO all the time. Like many Goldie comedies, the first half was a lot better than the second half.

She was legit good in The First Wives Club and Everyone Says I Love You (the MVP of both) and they were both the same year - I thought perhaps she would get some kind of nomination out of it. Sadly she never did anything good after that mini comeback.

I also love Foul Play and Seems Like Old Times - the thing is, even if none of her movies were all out “great” I probably grew up more with her movies than that of any other actor/actress. So I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Goldie.

Hated her silly childish routine. Her later roles were better. She really wrecked her looks with sun exposure.

She shouldn't have done anything to her face.

I would love to find the directors cut for Swing Shift. Is supposed to be awesome, but dark and complicated. Goldie hated the original cut and changed it around for a crappier product that made her character look “nicer.”

"It's funny that most people think of Goldie Hawn as Kate Hudson's mother."

Most people don't; they think of her as Goldie Hawn, and Kate Hudson as her daughter.

I think it probably depends on a persons age. People 30 and older are more familiar with Kate. Meanwhile people older than that are more familiar with Goldie.

Goldie has been relatively under the radar for the last 20 years, only popping up sporadically in movies.

And I agree it's too bad since Goldie is by far the most talented.

r64....that would be Edward Albert....son of Eddie Albert ( Green Acres )

Is Kate Hudson still a porker?

I remember her father's Saturday morning TV show.

R106 ask anyone under thirty to name a Goldie Hawn movie other than the one she did with Amy Schumer

r110....so youre telling us that youre so small minded that if someone or something didnt happen in your lifetime, then its irrelevant ? How did you learn anything in school ? Even when I was younger, I had a sense and awareness for a lot of the celebrities that were one, two, three or more decades before my time. Its not like Goldie Hawn just vanished in the 80s FFS, she was around, working and in the press.

R111 STFU

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Dear God!

CLICK on this

and Goldie, hon...cover up!

I can't believe Goldie was 37 in that Barabara Walters interview! Absolute stunner and looks 25.

.....which depresses me, because I'm currently 37 and a youthful-looking cutie feeling quite smug about myself. Like Goldie laughed in the vifeo, "How long can I stay cute?!" Well, we see her now -- and my future too apparently :'(

She was considering doing a movie of Erica Jong's FEAR OF FLYING in the '70s with producer Julia Phillips. It never happened, obviously, but Julia later wrote that Goldie was "borderline dirty with stringy hair."

Goldie and her daughter Kate co-host the Ellen show today. Saw some clips. Looks good.

And yes Goldie dances!

Hopefully, Kate just sits back and lets Goldie entertain us!

Kate Hudson wishes she did anything as interesting as Butterflies are Free.

Many a career was snuffed out by Warren Beatty’s horrendous c. 2000 box office bomb Town & Country.

Goldie always wears her hair in front of her ears, to hide the plastic surgery scars, and because she has huge ears. Cher is the same, they both have big ugly ears

Resemblance to Kate

Goldie has supposed to do The Viagra Diaries for HBO about five years ago. The mother from The Goldbergs had signed on to play her daughter. Then Goldie dropped out and the whole show was dropped.

I really liked her in “First Wives Club”. It’s one of the movies I rewatch every year during the holidays.

I watched First Wives Club again for the first time in many years, and Goldie totally ran away with it. I know she had the showiest part, but her comic timing was just better than Bette and Diane's. She really deserved an Oscar nomination.

R37 "Cactus Flower" wasn't her first movie. She appeared as a dancer in "The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band".

She's particularly outstanding in "Butterflies Are Free" and "Foul Play". A lot of her comedies were very funny: "Overboard", "Seems Like Old Times", "Wildcats", "The First Wives Club", etc.

A few missed opportunities: at one point she was supposed to play Velma to Liza Minnelli's Roxie in an earlier film version of "Chicago"; they did a duet or two on one of Goldie's tv specials. Also announced at one point was a live action version of the "Jetsons" with Goldie as Jane and Steve Martin as George Jetson. That could have been a lot of fun if the right people had been involved creatively.

Loved her on "Laugh-In" too!

She also made an interesting comedy/drama heist film with Warren Beatty originally called "$" (Dollars"). I saw it many years ago, and I recall it was pretty interesting. They don't seem to play it often on tv though.
