Goldie Hawn's five best performances?
I see there's a thread here for her best movies, but which five Hawn performances do you feel touch upon the most depth, versatility, and nuance?
I absolutely adore her performance in Butterflies are Free because I find that Hawn really digs deep and justifies the insecurities and complexities of Jill's behavior. I think a screen adaptation of such a film had the potential to cast a pretty-face who might really only play that character up to the surface. It's a masterful performance, methinks. I think similar of her work in Cactus Flower, where Goldie brings a rather dully and inorganically written supporting character to life. A well deserved Oscar. And then there's Death Becomes Her, where I think Hawn is matched with a script and director that phone in on the better of Goldie's comedic talents.
I suppose next would be Private Benjamin and then Foul Play? Or perhaps Shampoo?
I'm interested in what Goldie fans have to say about the work from this underrated gem.
Let's applaud the clitoris.
