Known as Hollywood's sweetheart, Goldie Hawn's Academy Award-winning roles and lasting impressions have gained her adoring audiences worldwide. A woman of many talents, Hawn is not only a gifted actor, but also a creative director, savvy producer, flourishing entrepreneur, respected CEO, best-selling author and loving parent. Managing to balance her life with such extensive responsibilities, she understands the importance of appreciating the simple joys of a hectic lifestyle.
Persevering by nature, Hawn made her behind-the-scenes debut in 1980 - the beginnings of over two decades of entrepreneurial success. She has produced critically acclaimed films such as Overboard, My Blue Heaven, and Private Benjamin, and has most recently starred in movies such as The Out-of-Towners and The First Wives Club.
Today, Hawn is a principal in a production entity created with Kurt Russell and children Oliver Hudson and Golden Globe winner Kate Hudson.
Hawn's many accomplishments illustrate that she has a solid grasp on what it takes to be an effective leader. An advocate that our strengths come from within, and a firm believer that we are responsible for our own happiness, Hawn has dedicated herself to enlightening others and encouraging the interconnectedness of society. Drawing her wisdom from a unique lifetime of experiences, Hawn maintains that complete wellness requires a balance of mind, body, and spirit.
Believing that laughter is the best medicine and that humor is highly infectious, Hawn has created the "Traveling Museum of Laughter." With hopes to bring smiles to faces nationwide, she teaches that all are capable of healing themselves by embracing the joys in life. Hawn's contagious energy and enthusiasm have already begun to make a difference, as she continues to develop her Hawn Foundation. Dedicated to creating a more peaceful and tolerant world by supporting research efforts and teaching programs targeting children, the Hawn Foundation brings promise to the younger generation and its future.
Concerned that children are not developing to full potential, one of Hawn's missions is to change the world "one mind at a time." Hawn's mindfulness and inquisitive nature drive her interests in humanity, and she addresses prevalent issues with a compassion that evokes audiences to respond. Hawn and fellow Hollywood celebrity, Richard Gere, have together offered $1 million to improve the living of conditions of Tibetans exiled in North India.
With endless optimism, Hawn welcomes a new stage in her life. In her book, Goldie: A Lotus Grows in the Mud, Hawn shares her positive attitude towards life. She will not only continue to touch her own generation, but will inspire ones to come. Hawn's gracious appeal has earned her respect not only as an actress, but also as a grounded and approachable human being.
