Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Goldie Hawn was born on November 21, 1945 in Washington, DC. Before finding fame in television and film, her earliest work was as a dancer. Goldie's dancing background served her well once she got her big television break in 1968. Which popular program of the era launched Goldie into stardom?

Answer: Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In

"Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" was one of the most controversial US television series of its time. Hosted by Dick Martin and Dan Rowan, "Laugh-In" originally aired on NBC from 1968 to 1973; it was a trend setting variety program frequently at odds with the network censors. Goldie was a regular cast member from 1968 to 1970, and "Laugh-In" propelled her to stardom. She portrayed the ultimate caricature of a stereotypical "dumb blonde", often in the persona of a body-painted go-go dancer clad in a skimpy bikini.

"The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour", starring Tom and Dick Smothers, was broadcast on CBS from 1967 to 1969. It was every bit as controversial as "Laugh-In", but Goldie Hawn never appeared on the program. "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour", a variety show starring the country western musician, aired on CBS from 1969 to 1972; Goldie made one guest appearance on the program in 1969 (and coincidentally, Tom Smothers was the show's executive producer). "The Dean Martin Show" was a long-running NBC variety program that aired from 1965 to 1974, hosted by the legendary "Rat Pack" performer; Goldie made one guest appearance on Dean's show, also in 1969.
2. One of Goldie's earliest film performances earned her the 1970 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Walter Matthau starred as the improbable love interest of Goldie's character. What was the title of the film?

Answer: Cactus Flower

Goldie starred as Toni Simmons in the 1969 comedy "Cactus Flower". Toni was the girlfriend of Dr. Julian Winston, a dentist and devout bachelor portrayed by Walter Matthau. To avoid making a commitment to Toni, Dr. Winston invented himself a fictional wife and children, but things become a bit too complicated once Toni insisted on meeting the wife and kids. Screen legend Ingrid Bergman co-starred as Dr. Winston's assistant, Stephanie Dickinson, who was pressed into service as his faux wife.

In addition to her Oscar, Goldie won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and was nominated for a second Golden Globe as Most Promising Newcomer - Female. Her performance also earned her a BAFTA Film Award nomination as Best Actress.
3. In the 1972 romantic comedy/drama "Butterflies Are Free", Goldie starred as Jill Tanner. Jill was a free-spirited actress who lived next door to Don Baker, a blind man seeking to escape his mother's apron strings. During the film, Jill spent a great deal of time visiting Don's apartment. What type of attire did Jill wear in several of those scenes?

Answer: Bra and panties

Jill spent quite a bit of time in Don's apartment wearing nothing but a white bra and panties, earning her the disapproval of Don's overbearing mother, portrayed by Eileen Heckart. Ms. Heckart's performance garnered her the 1973 Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Goldie Hawn and Edward Albert (Don) both received 1973 Golden Globe nominations, for Best Motion Picture Actress and Actor; Edward won the Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer - Male.
4. Goldie delivered a very funny performance in the 1980 romance comedy "Seems Like Old Times", playing the role of Glenda Parks, a soft-hearted criminal defense attorney. Glenda's ex-husband, Nicholas Gardenia, was on the lam from the cops. Chevy Chase portrayed Nick. What was the first film in which Goldie and Chevy starred together?

Answer: Foul Play

Goldie and Chevy first teamed-up in the 1978 comedy "Foul Play". Set in San Francisco, Goldie portrayed a librarian, Gloria Mundy, and Chevy played Tony Carlson, a clueless police detective. Gloria and Tony faced a bizarre assortment of criminals as they tried to unravel a complicated plot to assassinate the Pope.
5. The 1980 comedy "Private Benjamin" was one of Goldie's most popular films. Goldie portrayed Judy Benjamin, a sheltered, pampered young woman who impulsively joined the U.S. Army. Naturally, military life didn't prove to be quite what Judy's army recruiter had promised her it would be. Complete the following Judy Benjamin quote: "I joined a different army. I joined the one with the ____ and the private rooms."

Answer: condos

When Judy arrived at Fort Biloxi for basic training, she was shocked to discover the spartan barrack accommodations. Discussing her concerns with her new commanding officer, Capt. Doreen Lewis (Eileen Brennan, in a splendid performance), Judy explained, "I think they sent me to the wrong place. See, I did join the army, but I joined a different army. I joined the one with the condos and the private rooms." Goldie Hawn and Eileen Brennan both received Academy Award nominations for their performances. "Private Benjamin" has often been credited with launching Goldie into the upper echelon of Hollywood's leading ladies.
6. Goldie played a high school football coach in the 1986 comedy "Wildcats". Her character was given the thankless task of turning a squad of inner-city malcontents and misfits into a proper football team. What was her character's name?

Answer: Coach Molly McGrath

Coach Molly McGrath had to battle to earn the respect of her ragtag collection of "athletes", but earn their respect she did. Molly was driven and ambitious, and once she instilled those traits into her squad of underachievers, they melded into a real football team. Woody Harrelson ("Cheers", "White Men Can't Jump") and Wesley Snipes ("Major League", "U.S. Marshals") both had early supporting roles.
7. Goldie's performance in "The Banger Sisters" earned her a 2003 Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. That nomination ended a twenty year drought for Goldie; she had last been up for a Golden Globe in 1983. "The Banger Sisters" was her ____ nomination for a Golden Globe Award.

Answer: 9th

Goldie's 2003 nomination for "The Banger Sisters" was her ninth Golden Globe nomination. Her eight previous nominations (two in 1970, and one each in 1973, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1981, and 1983) earned Goldie only one trophy, the 1970 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her performance in "Cactus Flower".
8. In addition to her popularity as a leading lady, Goldie Hawn has also been a successful producer. What was the first film for which Goldie was either the producer or executive producer?

Answer: Private Benjamin

Goldie starred in all four films, but only produced "Private Benjamin", her first production venture. She was the film's executive producer, and collaborated with three other producers (Nancy Meyers, Harvey Miller, and Charles Shyer). Goldie has been the executive producer for several other films, including her own "Protocol" and "Wildcats", as well as Steve Martin's "My Blue Heaven" and Julia Roberts' "Something to Talk About".

In 2003, Goldie formed her own production company, Cosmic Entertainment, together with her longtime partner Kurt Russell, and her children Kate and Oliver Hudson.
9. "Overboard" was a 1987 romantic comedy starring Goldie Hawn and her longtime boyfriend, Kurt Russell. Prior to their leading roles in "Overboard", had Goldie and Kurt ever appeared in a film together?

Set during World War II, Goldie played Kay Walsh, a "Rosie the Riveter" housewife who went to work in an aircraft factory to help the war effort. Kurt played Mike ("Lucky"), Kay's supervisor at the factory, and her eventual love interest. Many years earlier, Goldie and Kurt also appeared together in a 1968 Disney musical, "The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band".

Goldie and Kurt became a real life couple during the filming of "Swing Shift". On July 10, 1986, Goldie gave birth to the couple's only child, son Wyatt Russell. Prior to her relationship with Kurt Russell, Goldie was married to, and divorced from, film director Gus Trikonis (1969-1973), and pop musician Bill Hudson (1976-1979).
