Goldie Hawn's Hollywood Evolution Proves Her Life Has Always Been, Well, Golden

We would call Goldie Hawn [1] one of the most captivating people in Hollywood, but we're pretty sure she's one of the most captivating people on earth in general. Throughout her 50-year acting career (which started on TV!), Goldie has starred in countless films with fellow A-listers like Meryl Streep [2], Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton [3], and even her longtime partner, Kurt Russell. In addition to charming audiences with her effervescent personality and seemingly boundless positive energy, the 71-year-old has also built a beautiful family [4] and kept it real about her decision not to get married [5].

We're looking back at Goldie's rise to fame, from her early days as a young ballet dancer, '60s go-go icon, and wide-eyed Hollywood ingénue right on up to her current status as a certified national treasure. Can you see the resemblance to Kate Hudson [6]?
