Goldie

A Lotus Grows in the Mud

De: Goldie Hawn

Narrado por: Goldie Hawn

With her trademark effervescence, Goldie delivers a personal look at private and powerful events that carried her through life: her father’s spontaneity; her mother’s courage; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a parent, and a lover. She writes about her childhood dreams of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go years in 1960s New York City, the phenomenon of TV’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, her Oscar-winning debut in Cactus Flower and Hollywood stardom. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger and fear, and the importance of compassion and integrity. She speaks openly about her family, her partner Kurt Russell, her children; her faith, her curiosity for that which she doesn’t yet know, and her thirst for knowledge. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.©2005 Illume, LLC; (P)2005 Penguin Audio

“Positively overflows with spiritual enlightenment.”—Publishers Weekly

A true Golden girl...

I love Goldie...she is an American treasure. I enjoyed listening to this book filled with stories from Goldie's upbringing. I did feel there was very little offered about her incredible film career, iconic roles and stories from behind-the-scenes. I suspect Goldie is not one to spill the beans...which makes her more lovable. The story about Harvey Weinstein was incredible...and her discussion about Eileen Brennan was touching. Listen to this book!

One of my best books ever
