Goldie Hawn remembers strange compliments from Elvis and Dolly Parton: ‘I wonder if I look weird?’
Goldie Hawn was on “The Late Late Show With James Corden” Tuesday night, where she talked about meeting country music legend Dolly Parton. Parton produced one of the songs on her 1972 music album “Goldie.” When she met the country legend, she was surprised by her compliment.
“Oh, my god when I met Dolly Parton, I was never so excited,” said Hawn. “She went, ‘Goldie, you look just like Poppin' Fresh!’”
When Hawn recalled being compared to the Pillsbury Doughboy, it made her think of other odd compliments she has received. Particularly one from the King himself.
“You know when I think about that, Elvis called me a chicken that had just been hatched,” she said. “So I wonder if I look weird? I don’t know?”
