The founder of the Hawn Foundation, which works for the underprivileged children, is Goldie Jeanne Hawn, an American actress who is also a producer and a singer. Goldie Hawn had been one of the reliable stars of the latter part of the twentieth century.
Goldie’s first major film role in ‘Cactus Flower’ in 1969 brought her the Golden Globe as well as the Academy Award for the Best Supporting Actress. Her Academy Award catapulted her into the club of successful actors with comedies like There’s a Girl in My Soup and Butterflies are Free.
Goldie proved herself to be a versatile actor excelling not only in comedy but also in drama. Pictures such as The Girl from Petrovka, The Sugarland Express (which incidentally, was Steven Spielberg’s directorial debut) and Shampoo are proof enough.
She also received the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year Award in 1999. This is an award given by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals Society at Harvard University.
Goldie, with author Wendy Holden, wrote her autobiography A Lotus Grows in the Mud in 2005.
