ACTRESS GETS PERSONAL IN MEMOIRS
One of America's best loved actresses, Goldie Hawn is now an author.
On Monday (2nd May) fans lined a busy midtown Manhattan street in the rain waiting for the chance to have the star autograph copies of her new book 'A Lotus Grows in the Mud.'
In the book, Hawn stays away from gossip about her family and Hollywood past, and concentrates on what she calls a spiritual journey that has led her from an ugly duckling to super-stardom and finally to a Buddhist monastery in Dharamsala, India.
The title comes from an encounter she had with a Tibetan monk, who used the example of the lotus as a symbol of the human spirit, and said it could only grow when faced with the challenges and obstacles of life.
Roughly chronological, the story moves from her childhood to her days as a dancer to her acting career, and from her first marriage to her relationship with long time partner Kurt Russell and her children. But it's less about recounting all those events than it is about using particular memories to discuss specific emotions and philosophies.
The book isn't the only way Hawn is trying to share her outlook. About a year ago, she founded the Bright Light Foundation, an organisation that focuses on finding ways to teach children how to handle negative emotions and anger, and finding different ways to resolve conflict.
