I had forgotten all about Cactus Flower. It was a fairly common, late-sixties film at a time when movies were opening windows to let fresh air into moral issues. Many men were already crushing on Goldie via Laugh-in, so her casting as the Walter Mathau dentist character's tantalization was perfect.
I have three sisters, but could never choose who I wanted to play most in our driveway practices & performances. I was the only one who liked turtle necks and men's trench coats (I liked Vogue in the 90's & my sister's were more into Hilary Duff *who could blame them, Cadette Kelly was the tits*), so I ended up playing Diane Keaton a lot even though half red hair. My older sister had short hair and used sun in (of course lmao) and she liked Bette's skirt. My younger sister was my mom's mini me & therefore loved Goldie Hawn. God these are such good memories. Especially the time we did the whole thing in our Christmas roller blades (minus the chair part). *and yes we used all of my mother's white clothes, but once it had started it was too late*
When this song first came out young women were expected to get married, stay home, have a few kids, and worship their husbands... this song was revolutionary and Leslie Gore was a true heroine for having the nerve to release it. There was tremendous backlash against it... I was in high school in Ohio at the time and I knew a dozen girls whose parents forbade them to listen to it - they did anyway - and , for some of them at least, it had a profound effect on their lives.
Yes, it was round the time the second wave of feminism was gaining momentum...especially with books like Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch and Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. A lot of things began back then that women take for granted today.
These 3 are the best Hollywood has to offer, i simply adore them too bad that we get so little of them to see,let them do and,sppear in many mire films
I was a little girl and my father was abuser. His was cruel. He had violent outbursts and kept shouting at me and trying to convince me that I was nothing. But I don't belive him, becаuse everytime, when he were saying me something like this, in my mind i was remembering this song: "You don't know me / You don't know me!" This song was my mental defance of his evil words. This song for me is postulate and hymn of freedom and the desire to decide for myrself, what kind of person I should be and how to live my own life, whatever he sad about me. THANK YOU to the authors and this great actress for this song, it saved my soul! “You don’t know me,” but I KNOW myself!
My mother was like that too, minus the violence, but a lot of yelling and to this day, she is a control freak. For me, this is one of those songs that I keep in a playlist that is meant to lift my spirits
Lol, I noticed Goldie was wearing ankle strap dance shoes on the way out the door on my first view. Had to go back to see the shoe change after reading your comment!
I don't care how many i watch this movie, it send chills down my back because it delivers one powerful message to all us women that we count. Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton are just so awesome together.
Absolutely, but the words hit home, not due to the feminist times but logic proved each girl must learn to be responsible for herself not cling to a man for survival. To be strong learn to educate yourself and then work to save yourself and earn a living to survive in this crazy world.
A fabulous version of this song!! Bette has the voice and Diane is really good, but I can’t take my eyes off of Goldie- elegant moves and great rhythm !!
I believe Goldie started out as a dancer if I remember correctly. I’m old enough to remember her on Laugh In in the ‘60s. A standout in an exceptional cast of performers
Agreed!!! Have not watched the film (don't judge me) but these women are wonderful individually and watching this scene makes me see a chemistry between them, so I don't doubt you're correct.
im a man but this empowers my inner woman lol Edit 3 years later: I've never had this many likes before! 😮 but I'm more happy about the comments and how it made people laugh and smile. Warms my heart. And made my day
@@wendysmith2255 Took me a long time to realize that, "Operation Hell's Fury" was a direct reference to the quote, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." I'm 37 years old, seen this film too many times to count. Still love it :D
I was probably 12 when this movie came out on VHS and let me tell you I must have watched this movie 100 times. I'm pretty sure I could still recite every line of this movie.
I genuinely love this version on the song, I can't put my finger on it, but just the chemistry between these three ladies and their dancing like they don't give a shit anymore and walking away like they've been liberated and I just love it. I've probably seen this movie, but I don't really remember it other than this song. 🙈 Will have to watch it again.
Jay Briggs seriously! I was just going through a couple of 80s movies I watched as a kid in the 90s, this was one of them, beaches was another I came across today. And honestly they both brought me so far back!! I can only hope my kids will get that feeling one day with movies I watch with them
The 1990s music owes its very existence to the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s - those are the "roots" music decades. R.I.P. Icon Lesley Gore. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
Every time I see this scene I always have such a bitter sweet feeling towards this movie 🤣😩💔❤️ my bitter ass needed a second one!! Actually is that possible!? Can we get a sequel!? I would love that!!
Mom claimed she had no idea I was gay. While Grandma would enjoy watching me perform this, when this was my favorite movie at age 7! Miss you so much Grandma!
i remember when i was younger i’d always cry during this scene, it was such a strong, empowering and encouraging scene, and i could feel pride of being myself and nobody owned me, i was me, like i will always be, unapologetically. i felt so proud of them that all that joy would come out in tears, always
Oh sad!!!! You only cried when you were younger...I can cry at any movie like this but being 68 doesnt stop me doing so. I guess when Im 90 I can say I used to cry when I was younger...you want to see me cry watch 'Michael' or 'Bridges of Madison County' or 'Message in a bottle' or 'Titanic' ' night in Rodanth'...want me to go on????? Ha ha ...they dont make great movies any more!!
I watched this every chance I got as a little girl in the 90's. I was far too young to understand the dark emotions behind the suicide of a friend, divorce, or building a business but I always just really loved the friendship between the Goldie's, Bette's, and Diane's characters. Every time they shared the scene they were either a lot of fun or really compassionate. And I *loved* the musical bit at the end and would get up and dance and sing around the living room with them. lol
I am a Brit, and I remember this film being on the tv, and we recorded it on our vhs (remember those). My husband loved this film and we played the song ending over and over, dancing the moves.

It's crazy to me that I watched this as a kid, laughed throughout--and the whole context was over my head: why they were singing this song, in particular; what it would have meant to them, coming of age in the 60s... how you think you understand a movie, and you're missing half of the meaning
I'm here because I guess I lucked out 54 years ago married to a man who didn't say I had to do his bidding! At nearly 72 I've had a blast travel places most only dream of, owned my own business, an did things because of that business that was definitely on my bucket list. Point is find the right man he doesn't own you, he adores you, loves you, n you walk thru life with places to go and things to do sometimes together n sometimes alone. But he always near if needed, that's love at its best . ❤️
This is one of my favorite movies. Casting for this movie was absolutely brilliant. Bette Midler, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Dame Maggie Smith, Stockard Channing, Eileen Heckart, Marcia Gay Harding, and the list goes on, such powerful actresses and actors that make this movie an absolute joy to watch whether it is your first time watching or you have watched one hundred times. This scene is so epic, it explodes with energy from these 3 legendary stars. Can you imagine imagine the fun they all had making this move!?!

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!..
When I was with my ex I would play this song often to remind myself he didn’t own me. I’m a very traditional woman but He was controlling and tried so hard to change me. Sometimes I would tell him that he was in love with the idea of who he wanted to make me and not who I actually was. He wanted me to be like a doll. For him it was normal bc in our country men tend to be more dominating. I’m no longer with him and I’m reminded that he and NO man owns me. I’m young, free, and exactly who God is making me to be 💅🏾💄👄💃🏾. Best girl anthem ever!
@Liam Kay Agreed. I had to Google Ari. Gr. Not impressed at this time. However I saw this movie when it first came out & bought it on DVD. Never should have loaned it out! I love the movie and the stars. 💛
This has become very important to me, hearing these words, Im heading to 50, and Im single, I have no children, no relationship, anything with men has never worked. Men in my life are toxic, have lots of baggage, huge draining mother's in their lives, and have a false sense of themselves. I just didn't get it, what have I missed? I just couldn't fake it, I'm so not of this world, fucking funny!
Just go in what ever direction you want to go as long as you love yourself life will be amazing :) maybe you will meet a right guy, maybe not, shouldn't keep you from living great :)
I know this might be offensive to some but this is the best version of this song. Probably because this is where I first heard it and fell in love with it but I must not be alone With 7.5m views! So inspirational with the movie. Especially since I'm a divorced woman now lol
Elizabeth Calloway the first version I heard was as part of Dirty Dancing soundtrack, but this version performed by such talented actresses is unforgetable
One of my favorite movies of all time. I never get tired of watching it when it comes on. This was my favorite scene too :-) These women worked amazing together; all so very talented. I hear a sequel is in the works. :-)
I was about nine when I saw the movie for the first time. Today a friend showed me a new version of the song but for me this is the best version. Great and funny movie, legendary actresses...a perfect ending scene.
Loved this song and movie, "The First Wives Club!" ! It got me through my darkest hours from a serial cheatin husband with many mistresses! Thanx Bette, Goldie and Diane! I can imagine how much fun making this movie must have been!!! U Go Girls!
Thanks for sharing! This is the first time I've heard the term, "Serial cheater." That's a good one! Back in the days of innocence a cereal cheater would have been someone who dug the prize out of the bottom of the box while it was still full.
Truth! Lesley Gore's song is what kept me sane for 31 years of a 31.5 year marriage. "Serial cheater" deluxe; YES, I was krazee to stay for so long. He filed! 😎 Good riddance! 16 years since - life is wonderful! 💃
Three iconic women! This is such a funny, cute & liberating scene. I bet they had a BLAST filming it. These women r hysterical & really just incredible in every role they have taken on, so to see them together in 1 movie is such a treat!!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!..
These three women are fantastic, such a powerful chemistry between them...I enjoy the fact that they shine equally, actresses nowadays must learn for them
Watched this movie when it first came out in a crazy little theatre in Manhattan. My mom and my sister and I were there on Thanksgiving; went to the parade, had breakfast on a paper plate in a long hallway-sized diner, tea at the Ritz and then this movie. Thanks for the fabulous memory jog.
I’m always crying watching it . It’s a mixed feeling. I feel proud and powerful knowing I was raised by my beautiful strong mother and that so many amazing strong brave woman raised me during my adolescence. I am so grateful to be a woman. Dear woman ! If you read it, remember you are worth only good things in life - work , partner etc . Stay strong and never ever give up !!! After bad day - week - month , there will always come something good 😊 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the women in the comments getting all emotional and empowered by this song which was written by two men (of course) and made famous by a lesbian, Leslie Gore. So typical; who can explain women to women better than men and lesbians. :)
The First Wives' Club (if I recall correctly the title of this awesome movie in English) is just amazing. The first time I watched it I was laughing, I was yelling at the TV, I was crying and was smiling like a crazy person when they started to sing. Such great talents; probably one of the best endings ever.
Goldie Hawn, Cher, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Julie Walters, Cate Blanchette and Angelina Jolie are my favourite actresses of all time especially Goldie and Meryl x
Estelle Collins Even though she's a newer actress, I would add Jennifer Lawrence to that list. Time will be VERY kind to her career. She has the looks sure, but she undoubtedly has the talent to be added to that list.
ohwell94 I’m a gay man and YES! She’s awesome! I love her! Always have since death becomes her and this movie! She was my favorite actress/character in this film.
I absolutely love this clip of this song! As well as these three super talented stars! Dianne, Bette, and Goldie are fantastic! I always thought there should have been a sequel where the ladies either find love again, or huge success around the globe. Couldn't you just see them trekking from one place to another! The comedy writes itself!!
Bette Midler , Diane Ketton and Goldie Hawn are incredible. This movie is hysterical. Side note miss ponytail can't compete. Bette wins hands down. No competition.
Oh come on...of course these ladies are fantastic but why knock Ariana? She is young and has an incredible voice. Not just a pretty face this one. She could go the distance if she plays it right. Streisand had her as a guest on her tour. She held it with Barbra and for Barbra to do that says a lot about her. Just sayin'.
@@lilliehalumi8770 I don't like her version but she does have a great voice. And....we were all young once. Even these fantastic ladies here. What makes the difference when this song came out?
I watched this film when I was having problems with my then husband. I watched this bit in tears, just couldn’t stop crying. I divorced him in the end, now this makes me cry for different reasons, having the strength to leave and stand on my own two feet.
Nostalgia.. Bette Midlers voice just makes me feel like i can sing even though i cant 😂😍 Im young and i love to be young, im free, and i love to be free... ✌️
Who’s here because they genuinely love this movie
ME!! And also because I am a first wife . . . !

Bette Midler, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Dame Maggie Smith, Stockard Channing, Eileen Heckart, Marcia Gay Harding, and the list goes on, such powerful actresses and actors that make this movie an absolute joy to watch whether it is your first time watching or you have watched one hundred times. This scene is so epic, it explodes with energy from these 3 legendary stars. Can you imagine imagine the fun they all had making this move!?!
What's the name of the movie I can't remember
@@donnataylor980 First Wives Club

Laura Terrell yessss!👍🏻
This scene always gives me goosebumps. 3 legends, being treated as such. Fabulous.
Jenni K. Obsessed with them
I just loved this movie and this was my favorite part. A great ending!! Three great actresses!!!
I’m 70 soon and this is the first time I’ve seen or heard this. It would have changed my life to hear it 40 years ago. Wonderful.
Be sure to check out this movie...it portrays a beautiful message to all women of all ages👭🤗💃💖
I hope your life was filled with strength even if this song came too late. Was your life a good one?
Listen to the original too - an absolutely shocking sentiment at the time and very brave of Leslie Gore to record it
Baby Boomer, SINGLE by choice! No regrets! ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!..
When I was with my ex I would play this song often to remind myself he didn’t own me. I’m a very traditional woman but He was controlling and tried so hard to change me. Sometimes I would tell him that he was in love with the idea of who he wanted to make me and not who I actually was. He wanted me to be like a doll. For him it was normal bc in our country men tend to be more dominating. I’m no longer with him and I’m reminded that he and NO man owns me. I’m young, free, and exactly who God is making me to be 💅🏾💄👄💃🏾. Best girl anthem ever!
You 'Go Girl'💃🤗💖
Amen!!
Girl your so strong
INDEED
I always used to cry at the end of this movie lol I kinda feel tears coming now
Let um flow girl. Let um flow, How often do we get to happy cry?
coze nobody can do it better than her >)))))
Destinee Greer do you cry cause they won? Cause I get it
Girl, I used to blast this in my room. Me and my mom loved this movie!!!
Me too, gave me goosebumps.
Great song and great ladies❤
Note: not everyone is here because of Ariana Grande, some people actually enjoy this movie.
One of my favorite of all time. Don't even know about her connection to this
What's the movie called pls?
@Liam Kay Agreed. I had to Google Ari. Gr. Not impressed at this time.
However I saw this movie when it first came out & bought it on DVD. Never should have loaned it out! I love the movie and the stars. 💛
Rina Door First Wives Club
Liam Kay agreed. Not even sure what the girl did
This has become very important to me, hearing these words, Im heading to 50, and Im single, I have no children, no relationship, anything with men has never worked. Men in my life are toxic, have lots of baggage, huge draining mother's in their lives, and have a false sense of themselves. I just didn't get it, what have I missed? I just couldn't fake it, I'm so not of this world, fucking funny!
loving ourselves is more important
Digital Dame you gooo girl
There are good men out there. You've been with narcissistic men.
Just go in what ever direction you want to go as long as you love yourself life will be amazing :) maybe you will meet a right guy, maybe not, shouldn't keep you from living great :)
You’re an absolute queen
I know this might be offensive to some but this is the best version of this song. Probably because this is where I first heard it and fell in love with it but I must not be alone With 7.5m views! So inspirational with the movie. Especially since I'm a divorced woman now lol
Elizabeth Calloway I was around when Leslie Gore released rhis and this is my favorite!!!
Elizabeth Calloway
Elizabeth Calloway the first version I heard was as part of Dirty Dancing soundtrack, but this version performed by such talented actresses is unforgetable
Definitely.
It’s the best for me because it actually relates to the song ( my opinion tho)
Amazing Actresses and voices! Love this scene and great movie!
I sent this to my husband, just before i divorced him.. 😂 Check out the movie.. First wives club..
fluffykitty purry ssssssshghghhhh
this made my day
Iconic
Hope you didn't get even with him. Instead got everything (reference to a line in the film) :D
this is chemistry...DEFINED! It will not happen again this way. I love this damn movie.
I remember when this came on HBO back in 1997. Love this movie because Iove all three of those ladies.. Great combo , it was the 90s at its best..
Michael Williams could not have said it any better
Welcome to my world. I love these girls. 💖💖💖💖💖💋🦊
I am so guilty of watching this repeatedly. It gives me chills & it makes me so happy.....idky 💁
Mimi Robinson took the words right out my mouth! Why?!
Me too :)
I think I need to see the movie..I'm lost.
Same
This movie opened my young eyes to a lot of different issues and I will be forever grateful for it.
Supesfan88 thank you, next

One of my favorite movies of all time. I never get tired of watching it when it comes on. This was my favorite scene too :-) These women worked amazing together; all so very talented. I hear a sequel is in the works. :-)
+SWinChicago I really hope that wasn't a joke :( that sounds amazing!
In all honestly I doubt a remake/sequel will work... they rarely do. But the cast you mentioned would make it at least worth trying :)
Same here, i hope there is a 2nd one coming
+Veronica Ramos (VeronicaR) Not a sequel, well I don't think but they are going to be working together on a project for NETFLIX. xoxo
film was really good funny😄
I love all three of these ladies! They are all uniquely talented. Such a pleasure to watch. Timeless…
I was about nine when I saw the movie for the first time.
Today a friend showed me a new version of the song but for me this is the best version.
Great and funny movie, legendary actresses...a perfect ending scene.
You have great taste!!
yes!!
Kevin H. Pilgrim what's the name of the movie?
nils lucas The new version is from Suicide Squad.
Kevin H. Pilgrim honestly same
Loved this song and movie, "The First Wives Club!" ! It got me through my darkest hours from a serial cheatin husband with many mistresses! Thanx Bette, Goldie and Diane! I can imagine how much fun making this movie must have been!!! U Go Girls!
Thanks for sharing! This is the first time I've heard the term, "Serial cheater." That's a good one! Back in the days of innocence a cereal cheater would have been someone who dug the prize out of the bottom of the box while it was still full.
Truth! Lesley Gore's song is what kept me sane for 31 years of a 31.5 year marriage. "Serial cheater" deluxe; YES, I was krazee to stay for so long. He filed! 😎 Good riddance!
16 years since - life is wonderful! 💃
This film clip should be played before the current Supreme Court...
YES!!!
I was enjoying the comments until someone decided to get political. Can't we just enjoy this scene and the great actresses?
Three iconic women! This is such a funny, cute & liberating scene. I bet they had a BLAST filming it. These women r hysterical & really just incredible in every role they have taken on, so to see them together in 1 movie is such a treat!!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!..
Didnt see the movie but like this scene. Goldie is rocking that out fit.
Watch the movie you will love it.
Okie Dokey great movie “First wives club
Be sure to check it out...it definitely is a 'worthwhile see'!
Goldie's dance moves are so relaxed☺.
These three women are fantastic, such a powerful chemistry between them...I enjoy the fact that they shine equally, actresses nowadays must learn for them
One of the best movie endings ever! Always puts a smile on my face!
Watched this movie when it first came out in a crazy little theatre in Manhattan. My mom and my sister and I were there on Thanksgiving; went to the parade, had breakfast on a paper plate in a long hallway-sized diner, tea at the Ritz and then this movie. Thanks for the fabulous memory jog.
This version of the song makes me smile
I’m always crying watching it . It’s a mixed feeling. I feel proud and powerful knowing I was raised by my beautiful strong mother and that so many amazing strong brave woman raised me during my adolescence. I am so grateful to be a woman. Dear woman ! If you read it, remember you are worth only good things in life - work , partner etc . Stay strong and never ever give up !!! After bad day - week - month , there will always come something good 😊 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the women in the comments getting all emotional and empowered by this song which was written by two men (of course) and made famous by a lesbian, Leslie Gore. So typical; who can explain women to women better than men and lesbians. :)
I am a lesbian…I adore women
Goosebumps every time from these stellar, timeless ladies. Get it GOLDIE!!! ❤️
The caliber of these women. How much they made me laugh in my youth and still do. Love them. ☺😍🤩
Gawd. They are all so damn beautiful in 3 totally different ways.
The First Wives' Club (if I recall correctly the title of this awesome movie in English) is just amazing. The first time I watched it I was laughing, I was yelling at the TV, I was crying and was smiling like a crazy person when they started to sing. Such great talents; probably one of the best endings ever.
Goldie Hawn is a classic beauty, as well as being very talented!
Goldie is my absolute favourite!!!
William S Mine too!
Goldie Hawn, Cher, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Julie Walters, Cate Blanchette and Angelina Jolie are my favourite actresses of all time especially Goldie and Meryl x
Estelle Collins
Even though she's a newer actress, I would add Jennifer Lawrence to that list. Time will be VERY kind to her career. She has the looks sure, but she undoubtedly has the talent to be added to that list.
Goldie dancing to We are Family in Private Benjamin!
I absolutely love this song and these three singing it.
I want to see this movie again!!! Forgot how much I love these beautiful ladies!!
The joy of understanding Freedom and living it. Yes!!!
I think Goldie Hawn just steals the scene.. she's a force of nature!
She's a Scorpio
Bette Midler.
And I'd say Diane Keaton. She's just ridiculous.
I don't know if Diane can even sing, but I am pretty sure that she is dubbed in this number. So it must have killed Bette to not have the lead.
Craftybunny. Diane CAN sing and it IS her singing in that number!! I think it turned out great. Goldie can sing, too. Who knew?
This will ALWAYS be one of my favorite movies and scenes. Such absolute ICONS ❤️❤️❤️
Bette midler got more beautiful as she got older, she aged well ❤❤
I was just saying that. I totally agree.
That happens when you can afford it...
Is anyone else immediately drawn to Goldie Hawn in This?
She just has that extra bit of energy
NO.
ohwell94 I’m a gay man and YES! She’s awesome! I love her! Always have since death becomes her and this movie! She was my favorite actress/character in this film.
She’s naturally sexy and nice at the same time
I absolutely love this clip of this song! As well as these three super talented stars! Dianne, Bette, and Goldie are fantastic! I always thought there should have been a sequel where the ladies either find love again, or huge success around the globe. Couldn't you just see them trekking from one place to another! The comedy writes itself!!
Yea, wish there had bn a sequel, too. Wld've bn fabulous,.....kind of like Sex and the City.
When in middle school, i would have my friends and i do this across an open field. I loved how free they looked and wanted that feeling. Im 36 now. .
One of the qualities that made this movie work was how it seemed these three actresses were having a fun time with their part.
One of THE best scenes....oh for Goldie Hawns figure, Bette Midlers voice and Diane K
3eatons talent....

The one sequel I would love to see! Would love to see Diane keaton’s daughter ask for mom’s help with her wife.
I can't stop listening to this version
Nae Rainey same
I don't see Bette Midler, I only see Winifred Sanderson.I can't help it.
Sofia Castillo Sarah Jessica Parker who plays Winifred sister is also in this movie. She's Brenda's exs new wife!
Sofia Castillo I will only ever see CiCi Bloom from Beaches
Sofia Castillo meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee toooooo lol
😂
Me too!
Love that movie.
Bette Midler , Diane Ketton and Goldie Hawn are incredible. This movie is hysterical. Side note miss ponytail can't compete. Bette wins hands down. No competition.
Anna love them all in this film it’s so hilarious till they get it together and rock
Lol!!! Miss ponytail.
Oh come on...of course these ladies are fantastic but why knock Ariana? She is young and has an incredible voice. Not just a pretty face this one. She could go the distance if she plays it right. Streisand had her as a guest on her tour. She held it with Barbra and for Barbra to do that says a lot about her. Just sayin'.
@@songbirdy This movie came out way before Miss Ponytail even knew this song. I've never heard her sing it, and I don't care.
@@lilliehalumi8770 I don't like her version but she does have a great voice. And....we were all young once. Even these fantastic ladies here. What makes the difference when this song came out?
I watched this film when I was having problems with my then husband. I watched this bit in tears, just couldn’t stop crying. I divorced him in the end, now this makes me cry for different reasons, having the strength to leave and stand on my own two feet.
I can't get my eyes off Goldie Hawn when she's dancing 😍😍😍 So beautiful!!!
Goldie is beautiful and very sexy too, she always was and always will be.
Thao Nguyen she looked like she was having WAY too much fun with this scene lmao
Me to, love Goldies moves.. 💖🍀🇮🇪
Nostalgia.. Bette Midlers voice just makes me feel like i can sing even though i cant 😂😍 Im young and i love to be young, im free, and i love to be free... ✌️
I’ve watched this movie 1000 times and I still love love LOVE this scene
I’ll be watching this until I’m 100 years old! ❤
THANKS Lesley, you'll be missed, but never forgotten.
I had this film on vhs cassette and would always rewind to see this ending scene on repeat.
I did the same thing, 😊
So did I many times too😀
Omg can’t count how many times I’ve watched this version a day. Literally addicted to it
“You’re not funny, no way I’m out” sings 2 seconds later ❤️
