THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER In A Lotus Grows in the Mud, Goldie Hawn takes us on an inspiring odyssey and, with her trademark effervescent humour, reveals the lessons she's learned and the wisdom she's gained along the way. This is Goldie's chance to talk about everything from anger and fear, to love, compassion, friendship, and the many challenges she's faced in her career. First recalling her early days as the little girl from suburbia who longed to be a ballerina but felt like an ugly duckling, Goldie then takes us on a whirlwind tour through her go-go dancing years in 1960s New York, her phenomenal success on TV's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in, Hollywood stardom and her extraordinary experiences in films such as the Oscar-winning Cactus Flower, Swing Shift, and Private Benjamin. She also speaks about her relationship with her family - partner Kurt Russell, her children Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell, and her stepson Boston. Written with compassion and integrity, A Lotus Grows in the Mud is an insightful and inspiring look back at a life well lived by a woman well loved.

After suffering a devastating loss, Claudia writes letters to family and friends, the famous and the infamous, as a means to explore the events in her own life and find meaning in human connections. In this third memoir by Claudia Sternbach, she once again knits together fragments — this time using letters written to the likes of Goldie Hawn, Leonard Cohen, Vermeer, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and more — to shape a story of a woman attempting to make sense of the life she is living and those who have been a part of it — knowingly or not. Her letters show us that we are all connected even by the thinnest of threads, that exploring those connections helps give shape and understanding to our past, and shines a light on what the future may hold. In a time where emails are thought of as too time-consuming, and text messages seem to be our main way of communicating, Sternbach reminds us that the art of letter writing should not be tossed aside so quickly.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was pregnant with my second child, Miss Katie, in 1979 when I met Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer at a restaurant in Hollywood. They had been working on a new project, and they wanted me to play the lead role. I was excited about the prospect of playing a strong female character. #2 I was excited to be producing my first film, and I was excited to have a female director, Arthur Hiller, who had directed The In-Laws. However, I was also nervous about the prospect of producing a film that was about a woman going into the Army. #3 I was extremely happy and fulfilled with my life, but I was also constantly worried about the pressure of having to balance work and family. I was beginning to feel like I was being left out of the Hollywood parade. #4 I had finally come to terms with the fear of not being liked, and my tenacity and determination to be true to the person I had become were sacrosanct. I didn’t give up.
