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.

Did you know that someone from Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s family was in a Super Bowl commercial? But wait, I didn’t see one of them, nor did I see Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, or Wyatt Russell in any of the ads.
That is because it wasn’t any of them. It was their dog, Roy Hawn Russell. The yellow Labrador was in the Budweiser ad guiding the Clysedales to the bar. And he was dogtastic!
The Hawn/Russell clan is so talented, even though their dog is a star! I can’t wait to see what he does next.
Hopefully, his furents will keep celebrating his success like this, and do not downplay it like they do with the other kids now.

Maybe 2020 is not all bad. That is because Netflix is giving us The Christmas Chronicles 2 on November 25th.
At the end of The Christmas Chronicles we were introduced to Goldie Hawn playing Mrs. Claus to Kurt Russell’s Santa Claus. Today, we got to see the teaser for the sequel that is about their marriage.
I don’t know what the film is about, and I don’t care. Just seeing these two as the mother and father of Christmas gave me some holiday joy in September. They are one of Hollywood’s cutest couples, and seeing them together makes me happy. That is something we all need in 2020.
Goldie Hawn is just a ball of positive sunshine. You look at her and begin to smile. Sometimes you wonder if she is really like that all the time? She is. Look at the actress wash dishes with Kurt Russell and Wyatt. Don’t you wish you could wash dishes by hand with them? Whoever says that?
Goldie Hawn and Oliver Hudson were on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen the other night, and the son asked his mom who was her worst onscreen kiss. Before the actress could even answer, Hudson blurted out that it was Woody Allen.
After the actor said that, Hawn said she couldn’t even remember kissing him. That is when her son reminded her, “Remember? He’s like, he closes his mouth. And he’s like, I don’t like to do open-mouth kissing.”
Even after reminding his mom about it, she is asked him, “Are you making that up?” That is how bad their kiss; she blocked it out from her memory.
I guess you can say the play, Everybody Says I Love You, didn’t live up to its title for her.
