Little girl was abandoned by dad who said she was ‘dead’ to him – now she’s a famous actress

In 1975, a well-known musician met iconic actress Goldie Hawn at the height of their careers.

The two crossed paths while traveling from New York to Los Angeles on a first-class flight, and their connection was immediate.

The musician, a member of The Hudson Brothers, was already a prominent figure in the music world, having performed alongside The Beach BoysThe Osmonds, and The Monkees. In addition to his music career, he also appeared in films and TV shows, most notably the cult classic Hysterical.

Recalling their first encounter, the musician described the chemistry as undeniable. “The attraction was instant. I invited her out to dinner that night, and that was it,” he shared. Their relationship quickly escalated, with their physical connection being a central aspect.

“The [intimacy] was mind-blowing. Even when everything else in the relationship turned sour, the [intimacy] was always amazing,” he added, per the Daily Mail. Though their relationship had its ups and downs, there were moments when it seemed as though they were making progress.

The couple married in 1976 when Goldie was pregnant with their first child, a son. However, their son’s birth was not without complications. Born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, he was diagnosed with meconium aspiration, a life-threatening condition in which a newborn inhales amniotic fluid contaminated with meconium.

The newborn was isolated for three days after birth, which deeply distressed the couple. “Goldie and I were beside ourselves,” the musician remembered. He further explained: “She was really sick, and I’d go from her bedside to the neonatal intensive care unit. The doctors didn’t think [son’s name] would make it. But [he] pulled through, and from that moment, he was our precious miracle.”

Three years later, the couple welcomed their second child, a daughter, in 1979. The family of four enjoyed several happy years together, but their marriage came to an unfortunate end in 1981 when the musician discovered Goldie had been unfaithful. The musician longed for a traditional marriage, which conflicted with Goldie’s views on commitment.

“Goldie was having affairs, [and] she told me pretty much on our wedding night that she wanted an open marriage, that she couldn’t imagine being faithful to one man for the rest of her life,” he revealed to the Daily Mail. “I wanted a traditional marriage, but Goldie couldn’t settle. Eventually, I moved out.”

After their split, Goldie began dating actor Kurt Russell in 1983. They had initially met in 1968 while filming The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, but it wasn’t until their reunion on the set of Swing Shift that their romantic relationship blossomed. Their son, Wyatt Russell, was born in 1986, three years into their relationship.

Blending their families proved to be a significant adjustment. Goldie’s daughter recalled: “For me, it felt like such a big moment because it was like, ‘My mom is madly in love with this guy.’” She added: “And I was meeting his son [Boston], which meant, ‘Does this mean that this is my brother?’ It was a lot to handle at such a young age.”

Goldie’s children from her previous marriage struggled with feelings of abandonment after their parents’ divorce. Her son recalled how their biological father gradually distanced himself from their family. Reflecting on a controversial Father’s Day post dedicated to Kurt, he said: “It doesn’t really matter which one of these men is my father. My pa stepped in when I was six and made me the man I am today.”

Both siblings have fond memories of Kurt stepping into the role of father figure. Though their relationship with their biological father, Bill, remains strained, they often express gratitude for Kurt’s dedication.

Meanwhile, Bill has openly voiced his feelings of betrayal, accusing Goldie of “poisoning” their children against him. Despite the tension, Kate and Oliver are focused on healing from their past and maintaining a positive outlook for the future, per Hello!.

By 2015, the strained relationship with Bill became public when Oliver posted a controversial Father’s Day message on social media. He shared a throwback picture of himself, Kate, and Bill, captioned: “Happy abandonment day… @katehudson.”

Bill, angered by the post, expressed his frustration in an interview, saying: “Oliver could have picked up the phone and called me, but he hasn’t. This was clearly premeditated; he chose the photograph and posted it on Father’s Day when he knew it would cause maximum pain.”

Bill went further to claim that if Oliver wanted to cut him out of their lives, he had succeeded. The fallout only deepened when Kate followed Oliver’s lead and posted her own tribute to Kurt, which added to the tension.

Kate appeared on Howard Stern’s show, speaking about how Kurt was the father who was present during the difficult and challenging times. In response, Bill stated, per the Daily Mail: “I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name [because] they are no longer a part of my life.”

He further expressed: “Oliver’s Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack; he is dead to me now, as is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth.” Following this, Bill decided to remove all childhood memorabilia of Kate and Oliver from his home, according to the Daily Mail report.

Despite the distance between Bill and his older children, Kurt has embraced his role as a grandfather to Kate and Oliver’s children.

While Bill continues to harbor resentment, Kate and Oliver have moved on, choosing to focus on the family bonds they’ve built with their stepfather, Kurt.

Maintaining motivation in a world that seems to be getting darker and more gloomy by the day can be difficult. Considering the gravity of the problems the world faces, is there really nothing we can do to help?

Treating people like you would like to be treated is, in my opinion, the only appropriate course of action.

More good can come from small acts of compassion than we may ever know. Think about the story of the woman who, upon witnessing a lovely family, decided to assist them. She had no idea how much her insignificant deed would mean to them.

It ought to inspire people to lend a hand to friends, relatives, and even total strangers. Everything matters, regardless of how small.

On June 8, Joyce Rhinehart took her grandson Blake to Rita’s Italian Ice for ice cream. Just as Joyce and Blake were getting ready to leave, they noticed a family enjoying ice cream while seated on a bench outside.

Joyce shares content on Facebook. “I had to ask them if I could take their picture,” the speaker said.

After taking a picture with her phone, she sent it to the family’s daughter so she could email it to herself. The family thanked Joyce, and she forgot about the amazing encounter until she dropped Blake off at his place.

However, that is not the end of the story. A few days later Joyce received an SMS from an unknown number. When Joyce opened it and read it, she felt shivers run down her spine and she began to cry.

“Dear Madam, you snapped our photo in front of Rita’s on June 8th. Since my wife passed away yesterday, this is the last family portrait we have taken together. It means so much to me, so please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your consideration. I truly am grateful for your assistance.

Never underestimate the power of a tiny act of kindness. You never know; it could mean everything to the person on the other end.

Would you kindly help us promote this message of empathy, love, and community? If even one share can make the world a bit brighter, it will be worth it.
