LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Goldie Hawn has revealed the final words spoken by her father before he breathed his last at the age of 73.

The 78-year-old Oscar winner, while on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast this week, recalled the final conversation with her late musician father, Edward Rutledge Hawn, before he died in 1982. 

Goldie admitted that she was more of a "daddy's girl" growing up, adding, "He's always my Daddy."

Goldie Hawn spoke about a father-daughter bond

"That's the first love we have in our life," Goldie said of a father-daughter bond, according to People Magazine. "I was madly, when I was little, in love with my father. Now, the other side of it is is that Daddy and I were best friends."



 

"He was a musician. The last thing he said to me before he died, he said, 'When are you going to direct, Goldie?' He was an advocate," said Goldie who eventually directed the 1997 TV movie 'Hope.'

"I was around 35, 36," she continued, "and he called me and said, 'I want you to remember this: What you have done in your 36 years is what most people get in a lifetime.' He said, 'I'm so proud of you.' And that meant the world to me."

"There's a lot of awards you get, and they're wonderful, but these are memories. These are things that shape you," continued Goldie.

Goldie Hawn previously spoke about the importance of a family

Last year, Goldie told Variety about the importance of family and how she wants to set an example for the next generation. 

“You’ve got to work for a living, stay compassionate and stay realistic. And I’m passing that on because that was what my father taught me: Stay in reality. Don’t get taken away with everything," the grandmother and mother of three said.

"The rest of it is up to them. Being there for them and knowing that they’re going to have to work stuff out themselves, as hard as it is," she added.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have 'drifted apart' after 40 years together but hope to 'come back stronger'

MEAWW previously reported that Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been together for 40 years despite not being married, but sources say the pair have "drifted apart."

An insider spilled of the couple, "They’ve had ups and downs, like any couple. They’ve hit some rough patches," as reported by OK! Magazine, back in December 2023.

Russell and Hawn initially crossed paths on the set of 'The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band,' 50 years ago. Years later, their connection blossomed into love while collaborating on another project.
