Goldie Hawn won her first Oscar in 1970 for her big screen debut in 1969’s Cactus Flower. However, she was able to go to the ceremony. In fact, she told Jimmy Kimmel yesterday that she was sleeping when it happened and didn’t know she had won until she got a call from a publicist.
What??? The 2-time Oscar winner was in London filming There’s a Girl in My Soup, and back then, studios didn’t fly actors to Hollywood if they were nominated for an Academy Award.
Even though it has been 56 years since that fateful night, she had not seen that moment that cemented her acting career. She told Kimmel that, so he sent her the clip of Fred Astaire reading her name when she won Best Supporting Actress.
Yesterday, she shared with the host that Astaire was her idol, and that she had no idea until she watched it that he said her name during the telecast. And that made her cry.
While she didn’t know the legendary actor said her name, she revealed that he sent her a telegram congratulating her on her win. How amazing is that?
How amazing is all of that? It is like he won the Oscar three times. What was the second time? In 1981, she won Best Actress for the 1980 film Private Benjamin.

Before Peter Billingsley starred in A Christmas Story, which took place in the 1960s, he traveled back to the 1860s for Little House on the Prairie. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 1982 episode?
Jack Quaid went out on a jog, and he saw someone who looked very familiar to him. Who was it? It was himself on a billboard promoting his series The Boys.
What did Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid’s son do when he saw it? He stopped, took a photo, and gave it the finger! Because anyone who has watched the Superhero comedy will tell you, that is the only way to pose with anything promoting the Prime Video series. It is not a bad thing, but instead, we are showing our adoration for the show!
Whether you are like me and have seen every episode, or you have not seen any, you want to make sure to watch the latest episode if you need to laugh so hard it hurts! I seriously think of that scene and burst into laughter. Sadly, for Quaid, he was not part of that moment! But several actors you know and love or hate are in it!
