Goldie Hawn webchat: Today - Monday 5 March, 1-2pm

It's not often we get Hollywood glamour gracing Mumsnet Towers but we're rolling the red carpet out on Monday lunchtime, 5 March, when we're joined by Goldie Hawn.

Her legendary Hollywood roles include Private Benjamin, The First Wives Club and Death Becomes Her. Her performance in the 1969 film, Cactus Flower, won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Goldie is visiting the UK to promote her book, 10 Mindful Minutes, and the launch of The Hawn Foundation in the UK.

The foundation has developed the MindUP programme to help children reach their full potential and aims to teach children how their minds work and how their thoughts and feelings affect their behaviour. The programme has been implemented in schools in the United States, Canada, Australia and, more recently, the UK.

Chat to Goldie live from 1-2pm on Monday 5 March, or post your question in advance here.

Thanks

Lovely, made me feel happy, I can't even be envious at the woman, beautiful inside and out! Thanks Goldie!

tumbleweedblowing · 05/03/2012 14:11

Wonderful. How lovely is she! Grin

More seriously though, I hope this is successful without the evil Gove getting his paws on it, as a tool for his planned destruction of our precious state education system.

I had a quick Google, and the school with the head she's going on This Morning with looks fantastic. Envy

AAHH!! -I cant believe I missed this! I am definately going to buy this book though. Well done MNHQ for getting such a great guest-now when will be having MIRANDA HART in?......

I've just got the book for my Kindle. Looks like an interesting read. We're definitely guilty of over scheduling ourselves in this household, and there's always loads of stress flying about.

Interesting that Goldie says the programme is more science based than it is trad meditation (buddhism etc). I would have thought there was a crossover but maybe she is trying to avoid the obvious celebrity/buddhist/hippy pigeonholing. And maybe its easier to convince schools to get on board without a spiritual angle.

Thanks for answering my question, Goldie.

Interesting webchat, and your answer to Trin was lovely.

DaftMaul · 05/03/2012 14:20

Dh is very bemused about my new best friend :0)

Dd is unimpressed that I was a few minutes late collecting her from school because i was 'talking' to a Hollywood Star!

What a lovely start to the week. Thanks Goldie and MN.

PosiePumblechook · 05/03/2012 14:21

Totally feel like reading up on the program now.

SophieNeveu · 05/03/2012 14:21
