Nothing to Cluck At: Goldie Hawn Recalls Wacky Thing Elvis Presley Said She Looked Like When They First Met
All the actress could do at the time was say "thank you."
Goldie Hawn recounted her unforgettable first encounter with Elvis Presley during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The actress was working on Laugh-In at NBC Studios when she first met the King of Rock & Roll. Hawn shared that she was wearing a purple wool jumpsuit when she went over to greet him. Presley then proceeded to touch her hair and declare, "You look like a chicken that's just been hatched."
Hawn playfully responded, "Oh, thank you." Years later, Elvis extended an invitation for Hawn and her father to stay in his private suite at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, where they spent three weeks together. During that time, Hawn witnessed the beloved singer's kindness and warmth, describing him as "a precious, precious person."
Hawn also discussed her latest children's book, The After-School Kindness Crew (Pooch on the Loose #1), published in May. She expressed her admiration for the late Dolly Parton, who inspired her, and honored the country superstar after her passing in August.
