"While I was home": Goldie Hawn robbed twice in four months

<p>Hollywood star Goldie Hawn recently opened up about a harrowing experience she and longtime partner Kurt Russell endured: two home invasions within the span of just a few months.</p> <p>Hawn shared the details of these incidents during a candid conversation on Kelly Ripa's podcast, "Let's Talk Off Camera".</p> <p>The first robbery occurred while Hawn and Russell were out for dinner. "I went up the stairs, I walked into my closet, and I just lost it," Hawn recalled, describing the moment they returned home to find their house had been burglarised. The intruders had broken in from the balcony, targeting their bedroom and closets. "They completely knocked down my door, which is a safe door, so they're very, very sophisticated, and they got a lot of my goodies," she added.</p> <p>Following the initial invasion, Hawn believed the chances of a repeat incident were slim. However, just four months later, she faced another terrifying experience – this time while she was alone at home. "I hear this big thump upstairs, and I was alone," she reflected. Initially dismissing it as a sonic boom or some other unusual noise, she later discovered that intruders "were trying to get in my bedroom while I was in the house". </p> <p>The dual invasions profoundly impacted Hawn, prompting her to enhance her home security measures significantly. Despite the increased safety precautions, the traumatic events have left a lasting impression.</p> <p>In light of these experiences, Hawn expressed a desire to relocate to Atlanta, where her family resides. "It's so lovely there, I said, 'Hey, guys, why don't we all move there?'" she shared. The idea of a family compound has always been a dream for Hawn and her loved ones. "We've always said if one moves, we all have to move together. That's what we've always said." </p> <p><em>Image: Instagram</em></p>

"Devotion, honesty, caring": Goldie Hawn reveals why she and Kurt never married

<p>Goldie Hawn has honoured Kurt Russell on his 72nd birthday after they revealed why they never married.</p> <p>Hawn shared a photo on Instagram of her partner of 40 years.</p> <p>“Happy birthday to the wacky man in my life! I love you baby ❤️, ” she said.</p> <p>Hawn’s son, Oliver Hudson, took to the comments and wrote, “Love this pic!!! Hahahah … Sums up your entire 40 years of togetherness.”</p> <p>The actress’ daughter Kate Hudson also shared an Instagram post dedicated to Russell, her unofficial stepdad.</p> <p>She posted a sweet video of her daughter Rani helping Russell blow out his birthday candle.</p> <p>“Always a double fun day in our family! St Patrick’s day and Pa’s birthday! Love this man so much! How about some birthday love for Kurt! Happy Birthday Pa,” she captioned the video.</p> <p>The birthday wishes come after Russell and Hawn’s recent interview with Variety where one of Hollywood’s longest-standing relationships revealed they were “constantly” asked why they were never married.</p> <p>“We constantly got asked, ‘When are you going to get married? Why aren’t you married?’” Russell told the outlet, referring to the early years of their relationship back in the 80s.</p> <p>“And we were like, ‘Why does anybody care about that?’” he added. “We’d asked our kids if they cared about it. They didn’t. We didn’t.”</p> <p>The pair first met when they appeared in the 1966 comedy, <em>The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band</em>. She was 21 and Russell was 16 at the time. Hawn recalled Russell as being “adorable” but also “much too young” for her to date.</p> <p>The couple got together in 1983 and recently celebrated four decades of partnership on Valentine’s Day 2023.</p> <p>It seems as though the couple’s philosophy on long-standing relationships is to simply not get married.</p> <p>“We have done just perfectly without marrying. I already feel devoted and isn’t that what marriage is supposed to do? So as long as my emotional state is in a state of devotion, honesty, caring, and loving, then we’re fine,” Hawn said in an interview with <em>Woman’s Day</em> in 2007.</p> <p>“We have raised our children brilliantly; they are beautiful people. We did a great job there, and we didn’t have to get married to do that. I like waking up every day and seeing that he is there and knowing that I have a choice,” she shared. “There is really no reason to marry.”</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram/Getty</em></p>

5 things you didn’t know about Kurt Russell

<p>Kurt Russell has stayed relevant in Hollywood for over four decades. The 66-year-old star is renowned for roles in films such as <em>Overboard, Silkwood</em> and <em>Escape from New York</em>. Here are five interesting facts about this actor.</p> <p><strong>1. How he started his climb to fame</strong></p> <p>Kurt was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and is the son of actor Bing Russell and dancer Louise Julia (Crone) Russell. Kurt’s first roles were in television series as a child including the lead role in <em>The Travels of Jamie McPheeters</em>.</p> <p><strong>2. Prestigious awards</strong></p> <p>Kurt was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1984 for best supporting actor in <em>Silkwood</em>. He was also nominated for an Emmy Award in 1979 for his lead role in <em>Elvis</em>. In 2015 the cast of <em>The Hateful Eight</em> won a Hollywood Film Award for Ensemble of the Year.</p> <p><strong>3. Kurt is a FAA licensed private pilot</strong></p> <p>Kurt is licensed to fly small planes and had seven years of aerobatic flight training. In an interview with <em>Airport Journals</em> Kurt said, “Flying has taught me more about who I really am than anything I’ve ever done. I take very calculated risks. I’ve done too many stunts on too many movies and television shows to be a daredevil. I learned a long time ago that if you want to do something you enjoy, you want to do it again.”</p> <p><strong>4. When he first met Goldie Hawn</strong></p> <p>Kurt and Russel met when he was 16 and she was 21 on the set of the 1968 film <em>The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band</em>. In 1983 they also starred together in <em>Swing Shift</em> and in real life bother parties were finalising divorces from their previous partners. Three years later, they had their first son together, Wyatt.</p> <p><strong>5. Why Kurt and Goldie Hawn didn’t get married</strong></p> <p>Hawn believes that if the pair had gotten married they would have been divorced by now. “I would have been long divorced if I’d been married,” Hawn said in an interview on the British show <em>Loose Women</em>. “Marriage is an interesting psychological thing. If you need to feel bound to someone, then it’s important to be married. If you have independence, if you have enough money and sense of independence and you like your independence, there’s something psychological about not being married because it gives you the freedom to make decisions one way or the other. For me, I chose to stay, Kurt chose to stay, and we like the choice.”</p>

<p>It’s been a big month for Hollywood splits with the announcement of the shock divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, followed by that of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber.</p> <p>But just when you think that true love has no hope, actress Goldie Hawn, who has been with her partner Kurt Russell for 33 years, has shared what she believes to be the secret to a couple staying together for a long period of time. And it’s not marriage!</p> <p>Speaking on Britain’s ITV Loose Women, the 70-year-old actress stated she believes the key to relationship success is freedom and never actually tying the knot.</p> <p>When asked about her position, Hawn stated, “I would have been long divorced if I got married. If you need to be bound to someone, then it’s important to be married,’ she added. ‘If you are independent, then it’s important to not be married.”</p> <p>Hawn added, “What is marriage going to do for us? At the beginning, you want to see each other all the time. Then you get jealous when they’re gone too long and that’s exciting. But for a healthy long-term relationship, then 68 per cent of the time is good.”</p> <p>What’s your take on her comments? Do you think marriage is not all it’s cracked up to be? Or are you still a hopeless romantic?

Princess Diana once hid out at Kurt Russell’s home to escape paparazzi

<p>During her short lifetime, Princess Diana was constantly hounded by the paparazzi. As we’re all too aware of now, this harassment caused her a great deal of stress, but what has only been recently made public knowledge, Diana would frequently hide out in Kurt Russell’s Colorado home.</p> <p>At the royal premiere of Backdraft in London in 1991, Diana confided in Kurt about how difficult the paparazzi had become. Kurt offered up his 70-acre estate he shares with Goldie Hawn so that Princess Diana and her sons, William and Harry, could have "a nice getaway."</p> <p><img width="280" height="414" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/14347/kurt-russel-and-diana_280x414.jpg" alt="Kurt Russel And Diana" style="float: left;"/></p> <p>During an appearance on<em> The Late Late Show</em> earlier this month, Kurt spoke about how he and Hawn wound up lending their home to Princess Diana in 1995.</p> <p>"Years later [Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson], who Goldie knows, worked it out," Kurt said. "I guess Diana wanted to go with the boys and so they were welcome, and they came and stayed for 10 days at the ranch, and they had a good time.”</p> <p>At the time, Goldie's publicist denied the royal family were staying at their home, but there had been sightings of a then 13-year-old Prince William and 10-year-old Prince Harry enjoying the great outdoors in Aspen.</p> <p>While Kurt and Goldie weren't staying at the property during Diana's visit, the star said at least one person bonded with the princess.</p> <p>"Our housekeeper Bonnie became very close with her and every Christmas she'd get a nice Christmas card from Diana," he said.</p> <p><strong>Related links: </strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/entertainment/movies/2015/12/grease-then-and-now/">The cast of Grease: Where are they now?</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/entertainment/movies/2015/12/top-10-horror-movies/">Top 10 classic horror movies of all-time</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.co.nz/entertainment/movies/2015/11/hilarious-james-bond-gadgets/">The most hilarious Bond gadgets ever</a></em></strong></span></p>
