    Goldie is fabulous! She and Kurt had a “cottage” on the same Ontario, Canada lake, that my family cottage was on. I’ve met them numerous times. They are awesomely “real” people for Hollywood super stars. It was clear they knew of the evils perpetrated by their peers, and that they were determined not to be confused with “them” - even 25 years ago!

      You may want to know that Ive personally seen Goldie hand out $20 bill to a homeless person and even have a conversation with him. No one saw except me. A few years later she came into the hotel I worked at. She wasn't sitting at my station but I saw her waiter drop something edible and put it back from the floor. I followed him to see where it was going. Oh no not my Goldie! I took the item and brought a clean version. Luckily she didn't consume either one

Thank God that it didn't end as badly as it could have. Yes, he was a slimeball and it was horrific enough as it was. Thankfully he didn't rape her as well. I was expecting him to demand she drink some tea and that he would have slipped a date rape drug in it. I also find it so odd and crazy that he apologized and took care of her medically after the car wreck.

      Perhaps I hear it differently. She seemed comfortable enough telling the story. She stumbled a bit trying to find decent language to discuss the indecent proposal. She knew she did the right thing, ultimately, which makes it an easier story to tell. I also got a sense that she doesn't want to be treated as a victim or pitied. She just wants people to know, so people understand what an institution in Hollywood the casting couch actually is, and why those who abused it should be held to account. Maybe we're both right to a point?

    For the younger generation, Al Capp was the cartoonist who wrote/illustrator "Lil Abner and Daisy Mae". He had a mad crush on Jackie Kennedy...I can see why he was in- fatuated with Goldie, she resembled the beautiful Daisy Mae.. In fact, I saw a photo of Goldie dressed as Daisy Mae in a Movie Magazine once. These big shots had/have a tremendous sense of entitlement. I went through this with Publisher/author Norman Cousins in 1971 in his AZ home. TREMENDOUS SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT! He too, told me off after I rejected his advances.

I noticed her because it was so loud! Goldie and her daughter Kate Hudson were face to face and were engrossed in animated talking. I mean they were both talking over each other, at the same time, really loud! They were also giggling and not listening to each other at all, but having a great time waving their arms around and laughing really loud. I’ve never seen a mother and daughter so alike!

    Interesting and insightful: In August 1919, at 9 yrs old, Capp was run down by a trolley car and had his left leg amputated above the knee. Capp was not prepared for the amputation beforehand; having been in a coma for days, he suddenly awoke to discover that his leg had been removed. He was eventually given a prosthetic leg but only learned to use it by adopting a slow way of walking which became increasingly painful as he grew older. The childhood tragedy of losing a leg likely helped shape Capp's cynical worldview, which was darker and more sardonic than that of the average newspaper cartoonist. "I was indignant as hell about that leg", he revealed in a November 1950 interview in Time magazine.
    "The secret of how to live without resentment or embarrassment in a world in which I was different from everyone else", Capp philosophically wrote (in Life magazine on May 23, 1960), "was to be indifferent to that difference." The prevailing opinion among his friends was that Capp's Swiftian satire was, to some degree, a creatively channeled, compensatory response to his disability.

You can’t be expected to handle it perfectly or be prepared. It’s frightening and you just have to do your best to get out alive whether you came out a victim or a badass. 💪
