With an unwavering sense of confidence, Goldie Hawn consistently dazzles her fans with grace, even in the face of online negativity. The actress acknowledges the realities of aging in Hollywood but remains unfazed by trolls and their hurtful remarks.
As one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures, Goldie, alongside her partner Kurt Russell, exudes a resilience that comes from decades in the spotlight. Delve deeper into why Goldie Hawn faces criticism online as we explore her remarkable journey!
Goldie Hawn stands as a formidable matriarch of a renowned acting dynasty, including Oliver (47), Kate Hudson (45), and Wyatt Russell (37). Her down-to-earth charm has secured her iconic roles in films such as “Private Benjamin” (1980), “Overboard” (1987) alongside Kurt Russell, her partner since 1983, and Steven Spielberg’s “The Sugarland Express” (1972).
Before meeting Russell, Goldie navigated through two divorces, opting to skip marriage with Russell in favor of a committed partnership. As she told Woman’s Day in 2007: “We’ve done perfectly fine without getting married. I feel committed already, isn’t that the essence of marriage?”
Kate Hudson, herself a Golden Globe nominee, praises their union, describing them as a perfect match. “Mom is a free spirit, always on the move, while Kurt cherishes his home and family”, she shared. “When they’re together, it’s a powerful dynamic”, she added, referring to their actor son and their strong family bond.
Goldie Hawn, with her trademark golden locks and enduring charm, remains radiant after over five decades in the limelight, embracing the natural process of aging. “Aging is part of life. Embracing it fully means recognizing life’s continuous transformations”, she shared with People. “Growing older? It means you’re still alive!”
Despite her positive outlook, Goldie Hawn acknowledges the ageism entrenched in Hollywood. “Women will always fight this battle”, she remarked to Bazaar. “You don’t expect Hollywood to embrace you when you hit forty-five and show them you’re still desirable and marketable. It’s a specific world”, she added, remaining unfazed by the industry’s narrow standards.
Though she embraces her age gracefully, Goldie Hawn isn’t immune to the onslaught of online abuse. Even during their idyllic 2022 getaway to Greece, where photos showed them enjoying the sun and sea, the internet wasn’t always kind. Critics criticized their appearance, dismissing their enduring love and confidence as they age gracefully.
Despite the negativity, many fans rallied around the couple, especially after their endearing appearances together in films like “The Christmas Chronicles,” where they portrayed Mr. and Mrs. Claus. “They look amazing! There will always be trolls, but their love shines through”, defended one supportive fan.
Goldie’s lifelong companion, Kurt Russell, has always been her staunchest supporter. Recalling their Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2017, where they received stars side by side, he declared his love publicly: “Goldie, I owe my incredible life to you. There’s no one else I’d rather be next to”, he affirmed, encapsulating their enduring bond.
At 78, Goldie Hawn continues to captivate and inspire, navigating fame and aging with grace. Share this story and let us know your thoughts.
Utah dad and daughter killed in freak accident, bulldozer flies off tow truck, crushes car
A tragedy in Ogden Canyon claimed the lives of a Utah father and his 16-year-old daughter when their pickup truck was struck by a flying bulldozer.
Reports indicate that Richard Hendrickson, the CEO of Lifetime Products, was in the car with his wife and three children when a tow truck traveling in the opposite direction lost control of the mini bulldozer it was hauling, which then collided with the family’s vehicle.
Hendrickson and his daughter Sally were killed at the spot. The rest of the passengers survived.
The tragic accident took place on Saturday, July 6 while the family were traveling up a narrow two-lane road in Ogden Canyon in eastern Weber County, Utah.
When it tried to turn, about 12:49 p.m, the tow truck hauling heavy equipment was traveling eastbound, as per the Department of Public Safety.
While “negotiating a right-hand curve,” the “bulldozer broke free” from the tow truck and was launched into Hendrickson’s westbound GMC pickup, which was towing a boat.
The surviving passenger were treated for minor injuries.
Tributes from family and friends started pouring in, referring to Hendrickson as to “trusted and cherished” man and a “visionary.”
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the tragic and sudden passing of our CEO and President, Richard David Hendrickson. This heartbreaking incident also claimed the life of one of his daughters, Sally,” Lifetime Products writes in a statement. Describing the man as “more than a company leader,” the statement continues, “He was also a visionary and a friend to many within our business and the wider community.”
Barry Mower, the organization’s founder, contributed to the statement, “He was one of my most trusted and cherished friends and will be sorely missed.”
Utah Governor Spencer Cox expressed his condolences to the family on X, writing, “Richard was a friend and incredible leader. We are heartbroken by his tragic passing with his daughter Sally. We mourn with the surviving members of his family and pray they will find comfort and healing.”
The post of Governor Cox gathered the attention of many. One person commented, “Praying for Richard’s family, this is absolutely senseless! Gov Cox you and your administration MUST do something to strictly regulate and severely penalize unsafe loads.”
Following the tragedy, a petition was initiated to prohibit larger vehicles from using the narrow “two-lane passageway” bordered by the Ogden River on one side and steep mountain cliffs on the other.
As of Tuesday, the petition, which aims to reach 5,000 signatures, had garnered around 3,300. The petition states, “We are raising this petition to enforce regulation on the types of vehicles permitted on Highway 39 that transverses the heart of Ogden Canyon. There is an urgent need to limit the particular categories of vehicles that can drive through this constricted roadway, ensuring the security of all who rely on it.”
Our thoughts and prayers go to the grieving family.
