Goldie Hawn‘s vivacious personality was evident as she danced her way onto the stage, showing off her comfortable yet glamorous dancing shoes. And it turns out, she has quite the history with dancing in Vegas. Goldie revealed that she has even danced down plexiglass stairs in 5-inch platform shoes. Quite the feat, considering she was singing live and the microphone went out while trying to navigate the stairs.

But Vegas holds more stories for Goldie Hawn. She reminisced about her 21st birthday celebration in Sin City and how she allegedly burned down a dressing room. She jokingly admitted to not believing the rumors surrounding the incident. However, it seems like Vegas wasn’t the right fit for her at the time, as she was just starting her career and hadn’t yet found her place.

Goldie’s interview took a nostalgic turn as she shared her journey from being a dancer to finding herself on a three-camera television show. She expressed her surprise at how quickly things changed. One moment she was pursuing her dream of dancing, and the next, she was embarking on a new career path. This unexpected detour in her career can be traced back to her platform shoes, making them more than just a fashion statement.

Throughout the interview, Goldie Hawn‘s infectious personality shone through. She and Ellen Degeneres shared playful banter, even using their books as props, with Goldie sitting on Ellen’s book and vice versa. This lighthearted moment brought laughter to the audience and showcased their chemistry.

But it wasn’t all fun and games. The conversation delved into personal aspects of Goldie Hawn‘s life, including a picture of her first love, David Fiser. She shared how he became an important part of her life and described her role as his translator due to his unique dental situation. Their friendship from childhood ultimately blossomed into something more, and Goldie expressed how handsome David had become over the years.

As the interview continued, Goldie Hawn disclosed an intriguing family secret involving her father. She revealed that he used a unique method to heat their house, connecting a hose to the gas stove, which she later elaborates on in her book. This conversation led to the revelation of her father’s nightly ritual, which involved a series of scents that preceded his evening drink. Goldie emphasized the importance of smell in her life and joked about her collection of perfumes.

Overall, Goldie Hawn‘s appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show was a mix of laughter, nostalgia, and candid revelations. Her vibrant personality and openness about her experiences, both in Vegas and her personal life, make for an entertaining and engaging interview. Fans can further explore these stories and more in her book, “A Lotus Grows in the Mud,” which is now available in stores.
