People Think Beauty Lasts Forever, Some ‘Lucky’ Age Like Wine, Some Turn Into ‘Vinagre’

Goldie Jeanne Hawn rose to stardom on the NBC sketch comedy show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In before starring in Cactus Flower. This role earned her an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Her parents are Laura Hawn, a jewelry designer and a dance instructor, and Edward Rutledge Hawn, a band guitarist who has performed at major Washington events.

She appeared to dance her way out of the womb. Goldie’s passion for dance began when she was three years old when she enrolled in ballet and tap dance classes. By the age of ten, Goldie had been cast in the chorus of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo’s production of The Nutcracker.
