For eighty minutes Sunday evening, the Civic Center Music Hall in Oklahoma City was exploding with applause and laughter. In her “first trip to Oklahoma,” Goldie Hawn had the sold-out music hall hanging on her every word.

INTEGRIS Health CEO Bruce Lawrence - “the man who endorses the Women’s Health Forum,” according to Dr. Mary Ann Bauman - introduced Hawn by recalling a past interview she had done with Barbara Walters. Hawn had been asked to use three words to describe herself. The words she chose? Complex. Curious. Thoughtful. These characteristics played into the entirety of Hawn’s keynote address.

Hawn started with an anecdote about her early life - before she became Goldie Hawn the movie star. “I was driving a car with a hole in the floor...I could literally see the ground,” she said. “I didn’t really want to be a movie star. I thought they were so screwed up!” She drove home the point that fame, and being famous, doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. She confessed that she was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks even before her own rise to fame.

Before her acting career took off, Hawn had aspirations of becoming a professional dancer. She didn’t actually earn her breakout role in the film industry until 1969 when she starred as Tori Simmons in Gene Saks’s Cactus Flower. That role won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Still, her fame wasn’t helping her stay healthy.
