I love her, but this is ridiculous. This former A list mostly movie actress who probably was A+ list, for a very short run still has A+list name recognition and has some great offspring and a long term relationship. She also doesn't work very much any longer but has two assistants who she literally kept shuttling back and forth from coach to her seat in first class on a cross-country flight. Back and forth they went for almost five hours. Two of them.
Goldie Hawn?
ReplyDeleteThe last movie I can remember her in was The Banger Sosters which is the best movie.
DeleteGreat guess
DeleteGoldie?
ReplyDeleteGoldie Hawn
ReplyDeletemy guess too Jack
ReplyDeletethough I never considered Princess Kate Hudson "great"
Yeah I don't consider her great either, Derek, but maybe enty does? Also Oliver is pretty cool from what I've heard.
DeleteWatch it mr... you happen to be talking about my woman crush. Im a woman with man's name. She's the whole package! Witty, sexy, and treats people well. Perfect. .
DeleteI agree with you Derek. Not my idea of a great actress, although she can wear the hell out of clothing. She's in fabulous shape.
Deletehaha I love the Banger Sisters!
ReplyDeleteThe downside to commercial travel.
ReplyDeleteDEATH BECOMES HER. A++ movie.
ReplyDeleteYES! One of my favorites! "Clever little witch she sent seating assignments"
DeleteOne of my all-time favorites!
DeletePrivate Benjamin is a modern classic
ReplyDeleteI wonder what she needed so often? What a PITA she is!
ReplyDeleteOr Melanie Griffith
ReplyDeleteDef meant to be Goldie. I'm sure she's just as coddled as every other celeb on Earth. I'm also surprised the airline put up with the common folk waltzing in and out of 1st class.
ReplyDeleteOverboard is flawless
ReplyDeleteMeg Ryan
ReplyDeletesounds like an anxious GHawn.
ReplyDeleteGoldie's son with Kurt has been in movies too. I saw him in This is 40 (he tries to pick up Leslie Mann in a bar) and 22 Jump Street. He looks like a not as cute Charlie Hunnam.
ReplyDeleteThink it's Goldie, too, and I also think Ent loves Kate in Almost Famous.
ReplyDelete@ Frufra I loved Kate in Almost Famous too. I loved the movie, soundtrack, story, etc. I haven't seen her in anything else since where I felt she was as good.
ReplyDeleteYes, @All Lace No Leather & @Frufra! She was charming in "Almost Famous".
DeleteOliver Hudson is most definitely great.
ReplyDeleteI love Goldie bc when I was little my mom and I would always watch Seems Like Old Times. And I love how she's always smiling in pictures and looks so happy and content.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Goldie in Overboard, First Wives Club, Foul Play and Death Becomes Her.
ReplyDelete@dolphy lest we forget-seems like old times with Grodin and Chevy...## all time favorite
ReplyDelete@Kat...I just saw your post!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's...tops.
The dinner scene is absolutely the funniest scenes ever shot(with the governor played perfectly by robert Guillaume
Lol yes Tricia!! I need to watch it today! When the waiter kept eating the hors d'oeuvres and I love all the dogs! But it's such a sweet, romantic story :)
DeleteBut Goldie moved to Vancouver BC with Kurt so their one son would play hockey at a competitive level, would a diva do that? And Goldie and Kurt have a cottaga aka mansion in the Muskokas and people who have met them said they were very down to earth peeps.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, isnt that the assistants job? Mb they ckdnt get seats together, mb they were working on something, maybe they didnt mind going uo to first class every now and then. I dont see the big deal.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it wasn't even assistants but family members and Goldie is a bad flyer
ReplyDeleteMaybe Goldie was giving her assaistants the free stuff you get in first class. I'm curious as to how she was able to summon them back and forth. You can't text on the plane.
ReplyDeleteAnd Oliver is great. Wish he got movies. He's perfect for a bigger screen.
Though apparently Goldie and Kurt are selling the cottage aka mansion in Muskoka or maybe the two women were friends and they couldn't all get into first class
ReplyDeletegood point Sherry
ReplyDeleteLove love love Overboard. Me and hubby both do. Flawless movie, and that scene where she is back on the yacht after getting her memory back is pure genius. Never fails to make me laugh. It wld make a great play.
ReplyDeleteBig +1 @Tricia. I forgot about Seems Like Old Times :)
ReplyDelete@Tina, I'm not sure why moving to Vancouver would make Goldie less of a diva? She moved to a very wealthy part of Vancouver. it's called Shaughnessy and the homes there go for millions and millions of dollars. I live in Vancouver and there was a lot of press when she came here. Apparently she had a bodyguard hand out candy on Halloween. Living in Vancouver doesn't make you any less of a diva!
ReplyDeleteYessss!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect day for me here to watch that(raining)
My god..I am smiling at that scene
@auntliddy "I didn't marry very well did I"??
ReplyDeleteRolo-"I was a fat slut?" Lolol
DeleteThey have to earn every penny the get. I once saw an assistant massage its employers feet for a four hour flight the whole time. He was on his knees in first class rubbing the old dude's stinky feet and legs.
ReplyDeleteI've loved Goldie in every movie she has ever been in. And I also do not see what the big deal is in this blind. It's not like she made them crawl to her.
ReplyDeleteGoldie is also an Oscar winner
ReplyDeleteOverboard is the best! I loved her shoe closet and Katherine Helmond as her mom was classic!
ReplyDeleteI was watching an episode of Grey's the other day and I could not figure out where I knew one of the actors from. He played an over-excited uncle who roped (haha) the family into a tug of war game and they ended up losing fingers. It was Kurt Russell's best friend, Billy Pratt!
OK, to the BI - if they were assistants, they were presumably being paid, and we know Joanna Stayton must have her caviar. It's your job, Andrew.
What is this gelatinous MUCK? Andrew, when I tell you to pack staples, must I specify that you are to pack *good* caviar and not this $1.99 fish bait? Caviar should be round, and hard, and of adequate size, and should burst in your mouth at *precisely* the right moment.
Seven-"We are not interested in your therapy, Grant!"
DeleteMmmm, excuse me @7 to the 11, it's Bad Billy Pratt! I love me some Overboard, too ;o). The scene where Goldie wakes up from her NYE glamour dream and realizes that she's "a short, fat slut" just slays me.
ReplyDeleteSusan Sarandon came to mind, but probably wrong.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever seen Goldie's movie "Protocol"? It's one of my favorites.
ReplyDelete@Sherry
ReplyDeleteA high-pitch dog whistle?
Overboard is one of my childhood favorites with pb and seems like old times w/ Chevy chase.
ReplyDeleteI actually like Kate *ducks*
And oliver is such a cutie on Nashville!!
@sugarbread maker
ReplyDeleteDoes Ginger know that your profile photo is Team Cat?
Kurt Russell owns a plane, I wouldn't think Goldie hawk would put of with the BS that goes with flying commercial if she didn't need to
ReplyDelete*Hawn
ReplyDeleteWhy a non working actress needs 2 assistants I don't know. Why you need someone up and down the aisles during a 5 hour flight is ridiculous. I'm sure the flight attendants were loving that bullshit. Jesus what did people do before they had assistance? There's nothing more annoying than someone who can't be quiet for awhile without getting on their damn phone or causing a disturbance to everyone around them. If you can't sit by yourself for a plane flight then charter a private plane.
ReplyDeleteJust going to throw this out there... Maybe she could only get 2 seats in first class.
ReplyDeleteyoj.. ginger gets all my love and as far as my profile photo goes.. i'm in disguise!!
ReplyDelete@EastCoaster- yup, Protocol another great one-she's just so much fun to watch in all of 'em.
ReplyDeleteMy go to fav is "Housesitter" too.
sidenote:i literally didn't like John Hurt as an actor after he betrayed Goldie in "Deceived" for a long time.
Love Protocol.
ReplyDeleteGoldie went from cage dancer to the Laugh-In wall to an Oscar nod in pretty short order. I wouldn't say her A+ years were brief. She had left Laugh-In behind by Sugarland Express and was ostensibly A+ from Foul Play well into the 90s.
That said, whoever it was, maybe there was a family emergency. Maybe they were on their way to an event and arrangements were screwed up and the assistants were on wifi in the back. Maybe back and forth wasn't all that much except in someone's pissed off brain.
Goldie factoid: Did you know Goldie went to high school with Ben Stein and Carl Bernstein (of Woodward and Bernstein)?
Goldie Hawn is adorable and I've enjoyed many of her movies. A favorite not listed here is "Butterflies Are Free".
ReplyDeleteI usually fly first on domestic. Nothing more annoying than to have a a lister in your section and they won't pay for their assistant(s) to fly first so they are constantly coming in and out of first (a big no no to the FA's). I sat next to a record exec who did this once. The assistant kept coming up to him, I was aisle he was window..so I offered to switch and he said "no if I wanted the Aisle I would have booked the Aisle" and I replied "and if you wanted your assistant to constantly attend to you you would have cracked open your wallet and paid for a first class ticket for them too."
ReplyDeleteIn "Protocol", Goldie had really good chemistry with Chris Sarandon.
