From Booklist
Concerns of critical import are largely absent from this movie-star bio. Although Shapiro allows--a little bit--that ditzy blond star Hawn's divorce from Bill Hudson had its unkind repercussions and that she endured other travails, he is no scandalmonger. He provides a confectionery life story: entertaining, informative, essentially harmless. The things it implies are, by and large, mere bagatelles, not monumental misdeeds. Shapiro's Goldie is a likable, perky actress trying to succeed without selling her soul. In making the transition from
Laugh-In go-go dancer to bankable actor and occasional producer and director, Hawn has endured the Hollywood experience and lived to tell about it. But is she the latter-day Carole Lombard (who could be?) or Doris Day? Does that kind of question matter anymore?
