Goldie Hawn

During an interview on Sirius XM's Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, Kate Hudson recently spoke out in defense of her mother, Goldie Hawn, who was often labeled as someone "difficult" to work with. Hudson explained that Hawn started her career during a time when actresses were expected to keep quiet about their opinions and that things have slowly started to change over time. "She had to really fight for a lot of these movies to be made was seen by a lot of people as difficult and complicated because she had a point of view," she said. "She decided to tell people that told her to stay in her lane to go f*** themselves, and basically started producing her own movies, which wasn’t happening at the time."

The actress added that women should not have to downplay their personalities or opinions in order to be successful in their careers and that they should be allowed to express themselves just as freely as men do.
