Summary

 With her trademark effervescence, Goldie delivers a personal look at private and powerful events that carried her through life: her father’s spontaneity; her mother’s courage; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a parent, and a lover. She writes about her childhood dreams of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go years in 1960s New York City, the phenomenon of TV’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, her Oscar-winning debut in Cactus Flower and Hollywood stardom. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger and fear, and the importance of compassion and integrity. She speaks openly about her family, her partner Kurt Russell, her children; her faith, her curiosity for that which she doesn’t yet know, and her thirst for knowledge. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.©2005 Illume, LLC; (P)2005 Penguin Audio Entertainment & Celebrities Women Celebrity Heartfelt Feel-Good Witty Inspiring Thought-Provoking Biography

As one of my all time favourite actresses I wasn’t disappointed with the way Goldie told her story. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing it in her own voice. Always thought she had a shining light and it shines from the inside out.

Goldie dips us into important experiences of her life giving us a view into real events and their impacts to her and how she managed or not. Really open and easy to listen too even with difficult subject matters. Was great to hear.
