78-Year-Old Goldie Hawn Stuns in Plunging Swimsuit in Europe
Goldie Hawn, 80, Dances Up a Storm on European Family Vacation
Originally appeared on E! Online
The Vacation Video: Pure Joy
Imagine this: Goldie Hawn, the legendary actress from The First Wives Club, is 80 years young and having the time of her life on a fancy family trip to Europe. Her daughter Kate Hudson (47) posted a video on Instagram that shows Goldie dancing like nobody’s watching—and it is absolutely delightful.
What happened in the video?
- Goldie wears a low-cut black swimsuit with a flowy cover-up.
- She’s swaying to upbeat music, holding a nearly empty wine bottle (the ultimate vacation accessory!).
- Kate can be heard cheering, “There she goes!” over and over.
- The whole clan is there: Kate’s brother Oliver Hudson, plus Kate’s three kids—Ryder (22), Bingham (15), and Rani (7).
Important Point: Kate captioned the post “A few love letters from Europe.” It’s clear this trip was all about making memories together.
Family Thoughts on Working Together
Before the vacation, Kate chatted with E! News about whether the famous family would ever make a movie together.
| Person | Thoughts |
|---|---|
| Kate Hudson | Joked it “could be a disaster” but said she has “undying respect for every actor in our family.” She added, “Life goes fast… every moment I get with my family and my parents is something I’m going to be very present in.” |
| Goldie Hawn | Told People magazine she’s not keen to act anymore. She decided around age 55 that “doing the same thing over and over again for your whole life is not as interesting… there was more out there to learn and to do.” |
Important Point: Even though Kate would love to share the screen with Goldie, longtime partner Kurt Russell, and brother Oliver, she admits “It probably will never happen but we’ll see.” She compared the idea to the chaotic family show Arrested Development.

It’s a big, blended, beautiful family. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
