About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Protected in a removable archival cover. . 1.6 x 8.9 x 6 Inches. 446 pages. An inspiring and unconventional memoir from one of the world's most beloved actresses. <br><br> Goldie Hawn's life is an ongoing tableau of stories, and she has a born knack for telling them. In this candid and insightful book, Goldie invites us to join her in a look back at the people, places, and events that have touched her. It is the spiritual journey of a heart in search of enlightenment. <br><br> With her trademark effervescent humor, Goldie tells us about the lessons she's learned and the wisdom she feels she's been given in the hope of giving something back. Not a Hollywood "tell-all," <i>A Lotus Grows in the Mud</i> is a very personal look at moments private and powerful: her delight in her father's spirited spontaneity; the confidence instilled in her by her mother; the unexpected gifts of comfort from strangers many miles from home; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a lover, and a parent. This memoir is Goldie's chance to talk about everything from anger and fear to love, compassion, integrity, and friendship, to the importance of family and the challenges of show business. <br><br> Goldie writes about her younger self-the little girl who felt like an ugly duckling-and growing up in suburbia dreaming of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go dancing years in New York in the sixties, her phenomenal success on TV's <i>Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In</i>, and then on to the world of Hollywood stardom and such memorable films as the Oscar-winning <i>Cactus Flower, Swing Shift</i>, and <i>Private Benjamin</i>. <br><br> <i>A Lotus Grows in the Mud</i> speaks of her relationship with her family-her partner, Kurt Russell; her children, Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, Wyatt Russell, and her stepson, Boston Russell-her growing faith, her curiosity for that which she doesn't yet know, and her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and understanding. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved. .
