Goldie Hawn's Secrets to Staying Grounded in Hollywood

You know, we’ve all heard the stories about Hollywood relationships that last the test of time. Recently, Kurt Russell spilled the beans on how he and Goldie Hawn have managed to stay together for an impressive 35 years. But this time, it’s Goldie’s turn to shine. She sat down with The Times and shared her insights on parenting, staying fit at 73, and forging her own path as a movie star. So, let’s dive into what makes Goldie so special.

Goldie Hawn has had a career that’s nothing short of legendary, starring in some of the most iconic films of our time. Yet, despite her massive success, she never wanted to conform to the traditional Hollywood mold. "I never wanted to be a screwed-up alcoholic movie star, because that's what all the magazines told you about," Goldie confessed. "I just wanted to dance." Coming from a Presbyterian family, Goldie credits her father for instilling a sense of realism in her. "He said expectation is greater than realization, so I never chased unrealistic dreams," she added. "To be a movie star was insane for me. But to nail three pirouettes without falling, to leap and dance with all my heart? That's what mattered to me."

Motherhood: The Greatest Joy in Goldie's Life

For Goldie, there’s nothing that compares to the joy of becoming a mother. It’s something that has brought immense fulfillment to her life. "When I first became a mother, it was the greatest moment of my life," Goldie shares. "Each of my children—Oliver, Wyatt, and Kate—has been a blessing. Watching a baby take their first breath is an experience like no other. With my firstborn, Oliver, they placed him by my face, and I kissed him. The first thing I said was, 'I waited so long for you.'"
