Goldie Hawn BIOGRAPHY
She made her feature-film debut as a dancer in The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band (1968). Hawn's career as a "serious" actress was launched by Steven Spielberg, who cast Hawn as a desperate mother on the run in his feature The Sugarland Express (1974). Since then, she has demonstrated her versatility and comedic talents in such pictures as Shampoo (1975), The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox (1976), Foul Play (1978), Private Benjamin (1980, a career high point that made her a bankable star and earned her a Best Actress nomination), Best Friends (1982), Protocol, Swing Shift (both 1984), Wildcats (1986), Overboard (1987), and Bird on a Wire (1990). As one of Hollywood's reigning female stars, Hawn has developed and produced many of her own films, and has attempted to maintain a balance between comedy and drama in her choice of vehicles, but the box-office success of HouseSitter and Death Becomes Her (both 1992) and the failure of Deceived (1991) and CrissCross (1992) seem to indicate that audiences still like Goldie best in lighthearted roles. She has a son by actor Kurt Russell, her longtime companion.
