Goldie Hawn Blocks Kate Hudson Acting Roles During Teen Years

Goldie Hawn shared insights about her parenting approach during a screening event for her 1974 film The Sugarland Express, emphasizing that she deliberately prevented her daughter Kate Hudson from acting during her high school years to ensure she had a normal childhood. Despite interest from casting directors and agents, Hawn did not seek representation for Kate until after she finished school, believing it was important not to start a career too early. Hawn praised all her children — Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, and Wyatt Russell — for making their own way in the entertainment industry without relying on parental advice, highlighting their independence and character over professional achievements. She expressed pride in her children and grandchildren, describing them as talented and great human beings. Hawn also noted that she does not feel competition with her children and respects their desire to carve their own paths in the industry. Her approach reflects a balance between protecting their childhoods and allowing them to develop as individuals in show business.
