Goldie Hawn is a name almost anyone will recognize. The actress has been a mainstay in the American media for decades because of her immensely successful career.
Behind the scenes, Hawn and her actor boyfriend Kurt Russell have been together for four decades (they celebrated their 40th anniversary on Valentine’s Day this year), and they’ve remained just as committed to one another as they were back in the very beginning.
Given the various allures and distractions life in the spotlight can bring, it’s a wonder that neither ever seems to have put a foot wrong.
What makes Kurt and Goldie’s relationship so very special – and, we might add, so real in the eyes of the public – is their steadfast dedication to each other. They don’t wield their romance as a tool to heighten their celebrity presence, nor have they ever been embroiled in scandals or publicity stunts to hijack the locomotive PR train.
Instead, theirs is a partnership that appears to be a throw-back to a by-gone era, an inspiring and very agreeable union that reminds us all what true love is really about.
As well as sharing adoration for one another, they also defend each other when scrutinized by the media. In fact, Russell defended Hawn when she was recently called cruel names by internet trolls, and when some pretty unflattering paparazzi photos of her emerged online.
One photo in particular shows her in Aspen, Colorado, rocking ugg boots, quilted pants, and a black turtleneck. At 77, she looks fantastic, but most people couldn’t help but comment on how old she now looks – cruelly saying she’s “gone too far” and no longer looks like herself.
Hawn has fought against agism in Hollywood by simply ignoring the comments, embracing getting older and not letting the teasing faze her. Russell is also incredibly supportive of his partner, with Hawn telling People magazine that Russell told her before a dinner date: “You’re unbelievable. I cannot believe how [beautiful] you look.”
After 40 years, the couple is still as in love as they were at the start, and their love story just goes to show the power of love. Despite facing harsh public opinions about their appearances, the couple doesn’t let this affect them.
Hawn especially continues to exude grace and confidence as she embraces the natural process of aging.
“At 91 years old, she remains incredible. This actress stays active and refuses to back down.”
Carol Burnett, a legendary American actress and comedian, is widely recognized for her trailblazing comedy-variety series, The Carol Burnett Show, which aired from 1967 to 1978.
Now at the age of 91, Burnett continues to enchant viewers through her role in the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale, a drama set in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1969. Born on April 26, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett was raised by her grandmother following her parents’ separation.
In the 1940s, her family relocated to Hollywood, where Burnett pursued her studies in theatre at the University of Southern California. She gained fame in 1957 on The Ed Sullivan Show with a comedic number that humorously captured young women’s infatuation with heartthrob Elvis Presley, catapulting her to stardom.
Decades of Unforgettable Performances
In addition to her iconic television series, Burnett has given outstanding performances in films, musicals, and Broadway productions.
Her Broadway repertoire includes Love Letters (2014), Hollywood Arms (2002), Putting It Together (1999), Moon Over Buffalo (1995), Fade Out – Fade In (1964), and Once Upon a Mattress (1959). On the big screen, she appeared in films like Pete ‘n’ Tillie (1972), The Front Page (1974), and The Four Seasons (1981), among many others, each role highlighting her remarkable talent and versatility.
Carol Burnett’s lasting charm stems from her capacity to adapt and resonate with audiences through the years. From her beginnings on The Ed Sullivan Show to her recent performance in Palm Royale, Burnett remains a cherished icon in the entertainment industry, affirming that her legendary status is truly warranted.
