Daughter Kate Hudson has also spoken about appearing on screen with her famous mother
Goldie and Kate
Goldie Hawn has addressed her years-long acting break, saying she has yet to receive a script she finds truly interesting.
The First Wives Club actor and mother of Kate Hudson has not appeared on screen since 2020’s The Christmas Chronicles 2, in which she starred opposite her long-time partner Kurt Russell.
However, Hawn (80), whose career has spanned more than 60 years, is not opposed to returning.
“It has to do with the content,” she told People. “Acting for acting’s sake, taking things… I’ve read a lot of shows, a lot of scripts that I didn’t like or I didn’t think I’d fit.”
Still, she’s not waiting around with bated breath.
“The one thing about acting is that I’ve done it and I had a great career, and I honour that,” the Oscar-winning actor said.
“I would love to get a material that could actually be like, ‘Oh my God, I want this so bad. This is so funny. She’s so crazy. She’s so interesting’. But I haven’t come across it. If somebody came up with a really cool, funny script … I think it would be great.”
Despite her prolific career, starring in classic films including Private Benjamin (1980), Overboard (1987), and Death Becomes Her (1992), Hawn has yet to work alongside her daughter, Hudson (47).
Speaking to Variety last November, Hudson said she would love to work with her mother, but “it has to be the right project”.
“Nothing so far has felt right,” she said. “People have tried, but the material hasn’t fit. I’d love something in the spirit of Postcards from the Edge, but that kind of role hasn’t been presented to us. We’d probably have to create it ourselves.” (© The Independent)
