Goldie Hawn is one of those celebs who radiates positivity wherever she appears, whether it’s interviews, premieres, or the red carpet.

I would say she’s one of a kind. She has spent her entire life under the spotlight but is very grounded and enjoys a peaceful life with her partner of many years, actor Kurt Russel. What these two have is an exception to the rule that Hollywood marriages don’t last. Well, maybe it’s because they never really married and believe that is exactly what kept them together for so long.

Born on November 21, 1945, in Washington DC, to father Rut and mother Laura who ran a dance school, it wasn’t surprising that Hawn herself fell in love with dancing and ballet. Her first public performance was in the Ballett Russe de Monte Carlo production of The Nutcracker when she was just 10.
