BBC Radio 4 Extra - Desert Island Discs Revisited, Actors, Goldie Hawn

Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn is castaway by Kirsty Young.

4 Extra Debut. From Frank Sinatra to Tchaikovsky. Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn shares her castaway music choices with Kirsty Young. From 2012.

Hollywood's prototype dizzy blond, Goldie Hawn is castaway by Kirsty Young.  

Like most things in Tinseltown the image is somewhat at odds with the reality.  

Goldie is an Academy Award winner and producer who's been on the A list for 40-odd years, starring alongside Peter Sellers, Walter Matthau and Woody Allen.  

She's now transmuted from fantasy pin-up to best selling author - she writes parenting manuals and spearheads a childhood learning initiative. 

She tells Kirsty about her journey from dancing in sleazy go-go bars to bagging an Oscar, how she coped with the difficulties her early success brought her and how she met her husband of 29 years, Kurt Russell.
