Whether you grew up watching Overboard, or you secretly cherish Housesitter, you have to admit that Goldie Hawn is completely fabulous. She's been rocking Hollywood since 1968, when she first appeared on the TV show Good Morning, World as Sandy Kramer. Though she hasn't starred in a movie since 2002's The Banger Sisters, she's still one of our favorite actresses. Plus, she's been pretty busy hanging out with her look-alike daughter, Kate Hudson. To celebrate her 70th birthday, we're calling out the 16 things we love about her the most — in GIFs. Take a look!
