Academy Award-winning comedic actress Goldie Hawn's career has encompassed the zany humor of the 1960s TV hit Laugh-In, her fine dramatic portrayal of a single-minded welfare mom in Steven Spielberg's SUGARLAND EXPRESS, and the goofy yet irrepressible army trainee Judy Benjamin in PRIVATE BENJAMIN. Her memoir, A LOTUS GROWS IN THE MUD, is a series of loosely connected episodes recalling her loving, affectionate family background, her early years of struggle in some of the seamier neighborhoods of '60s New York City (including an unpleasant "audition" for the carnally inclined artist Al Capp, the creator of the Li'l Abner cartoon series), and the anxiety attacks and depression she encountered upon achieving success in Hollywood. In an often hilarious but also sometimes surprisingly serious look back at her public and private past, Hawn reflects on the triumphs and tragedies of her life, revealing the spiritual, introspective personality at the core of her wacky public persona.

Publisher's Note
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.
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," A LOTUS GROWS IN THE MUD 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.
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 ROWAN & MARTIN'S Laugh-In, and then on to the world of Hollywood stardom and such memorable films as the Oscar-winning CACTUS FLOWER, SWING SHIFT, and PRIVATE BENJAMIN.
A LOTUS GROWS IN THE MUD 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.

September 04, 2006: This is a great book and it's very inspiring. It's good to hear about goldie and how she had struggles in her life and even delt with depression at a point in her life early in her career but she got through it and found happiness, joy, and peace. My only complaint is that I felt a few times in the book she gave too much detail about some things that happend to her and at some points I skipped around. Also, I wish she would have talked more about being buddhist and why she decided to study the religion etc...
