After matriculating from Montgomery Blair High School, she enrolled at American University where she studied drama, but eventually dropped out to teach and run a ballet school.
Acting Beginnings
In 1964, Hawn made her debut as a professional dancer in a production of “Can-Can” leading her to various other dancing projects, including appearing as a go-go dancer in New York City. Afterwards she moved to California to try her hand at dancing projects there, and to her first acting project as a cast member of the short lived sitcom entitled “Good Morning, World”.
Goldie then became one of the cast members of the comedy sketch show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”, through which she rose to prominence. Her persona in the show helped her to her film debut in “The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band” as a giggly dancer. She then got her first major film role in “Cactus Flower”, in which she played a suicidal fiancée, and for which won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, solidifying her as a star in the acting industry. Her film career really took off, as she appeared in “$”, “Butterflies Are Free”, and “There’s a Girl in My Soup”. She continued to prove herself in dramas, and also had two television specials. After the release of “The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox” in 1976, she took some time off to focus on raising children.
Return to Film to the 1990s
Goldie’s career was revived with the box office smash “Foul Play” in 1978, and her popularity continued through the 1980s. She was given the lead role in the comedy “Private Benjamin” which earned her a second Academy Award nomination, but this time for Best Actress. She continued to have box office hits in “Seems Like Old Times”, “Best Friends”, and “Swing Shift”, and…she also posed for the cover of the 1985 January “Playboy” issue.
In the 1990s, she starred in the commercially successful “Bird on a Wire” alongside Mel Gibson, then took another break, for four years, as she had to take care of her mother who was diagnosed with cancer. She returned after her mother’s passing, and was a part of the critically successful “The First Wives Club” alongside Bette Midler and Diane Keaton, for which they all received a Women in Film Crystal Award, and was also awarded a Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year. Goldie then continued with more projects such as “Everyone Says I Love You”, and “The Out-of-Towners”.
The 2000s, Hiatus, and Return to Acting
In 2001, Hawn appeared alongside Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton for the comedy “Town & Country”, which got little attention and bombed at the box office. She then starred in “The Banger Sisters” which would be her last film for the next 15 years. During her break from acting, she published the autobiography entitled “A Lotus Grows in the Mud”. She eventually returned to acting in 2013, as a guest in an episode of “Phineas and Ferb” alongside Gordon Ramsay, providing the voice of one of the characters.
