Actress Goldie Hawn weighed in on the pervasiveness of crime in Los Angeles, revealing that her own home has been burglarized twice in four months.
The 78-year-old made the comments during an appearance on the SiriusXM podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa.”
“What if we couldn’t live in L.A, where would we live? We both decided, I think it’s Palm Desert (California). … It’s so safe,” Hawn told Ripa of herself and Kurt Russell, her longtime boyfriend of four decades.
“It’s just because L.A. is terrible. I mean, we were robbed once,” she added.
Hawn went on to describe what happened the first time her home was burglarized. She said she and Russell were out of the house for just two hours before coming back home to discover what happened.
“We came back and went in the house. I went up to the stairs and I walked into my closet. I just lost it,” Hawn said. “They had broken in from the balcony to our bedroom, our closets.”
She continued, “And they completely knocked down my door, which is a safe door, so they’re very, very sophisticated, and they got a lot of my goodies, if you know what I mean.”
The Academy Award-winning actress said she assumed it was something she would only experience once, but that wasn’t the case. “So, I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God, so the chances are, I guess that’s it,'” Hawn told Ripa. “It’s gotta be. The odds are that’s not gonna happen again.”
But then, four months later, that’s exactly what happened. The actress said she was home alone with her dog when she heard a noise.
“I hear this big thump upstairs — and I was alone; Kurt wasn’t there — and I went, ‘What the hell was that?'” she explained.
“It was just like, was that a sonic boom? Did somebody jump somewhere? And as it turned out, the next day, we discovered that they were trying to get in my bedroom while I was in the house.”
“That’s terrifying,” Ripa replied.
“I couldn’t believe it. What is happening here?” Hawn said, adding that she has had additional protection since the incidents. “I’ve had a guard, especially when I’m alone now,” Hawn said. “I’m never without a guard. We have a nice relationship with our guard.”
I can think of lots of places.
In the 1930s, when an economic downturn caused things to go south theree was a rise in crime. Bank robberies etc. The media turned to programs on the radio, comic books and movies about crime fighters like Batman, Green Hornet, Lone Ranger, The Shadow, Superman, G-Men and Gangbusters! Maybe that’s what we need today. Modern versions to attack drug cartels, pimps, and con men. Maybe make Robin a computer wiz to hack criminal sites. Or Margo Lane a defender of kidnapped children and women? Lots of super heroes of the 1930s never caught on and could be revived like “Crime Clown” who fought gangs in full clown make up with two 45 caliber automatics—laughing!
Or The paralyzed former DA (victim of a mob bomb) who fought crime with logic and a group of people to collect data—he would break into radio broadcasts and unmask the real people who were guilty as the mysterious Voice of Justice.
Why would you curse us Texans like that?
If Goldie was smart, she would have been able to say, “LA was terrible!”
Lets see, LBJ brought us the “Great welfare society”, and two globalist open border Bush’s?
C’mon..
She has an ARMED GUARD??????
“Goldie certainly has the means to move”
She and Kurt have had a a nice place in Aspen Colorado for decades, but I guess it is more of a winter vacation house. Kurt seems right of center in his politics, not sure about Goldie.
So many people think “I’ll only be gone and hour” and don’t set the alarm.
“She has an ARMED GUARD??????”
She and Kurt are worth 150-200 million so they can afford it, but it has to be intrusive to some degree.
C’Mon Goldie, We know you’re constantly voting for democrats including the nitwits that run LA, and your good buddy, tax Grabbin’ Newsome.
So... Suck it up Buttercup.
Has anybody bothered to ask who she voted for?
And who she’s going to vote for?
And Richard Nixon got in a “sock it to me”.
MY NEXT DOOR neighbor in the San Fernando Valley was a house painter.
HE painted 2 houses for Goldie-—perhaps a third.
He & his family came to USA from Denmark after WW II.
He was an excellent painter.
Goldie wanted him to paint one time & he said” I CANNOT DO IT RIGHT NOW, GOLDIE-—We are taking a trip back to Denmark.
GOLDIE WAITED until JENS got back.
HE THOUGHT THE WORLD OF GOLDIE.
GREAT NEIGHBORS, ALSO.
LOST HIM TO PANCREATIC CANCER.
MELTED FROM ABOUT 260# to about 100# in less than 6 months.
THE ROADS RUN BOTH WAYS.....
LEAVE CALIF
NOTHING BLOCKS MY ROTTWEILER
I BOLTED THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY...
Made up my mind on a Monday.
Called Bekins.
Drove out the following Friday with horses in trailer/dogs in truck.
1993.
Goldie, Judy Carne, and Teresa Graves (the black girl) were the body-painted bikini dancers.
Graves became a Jehovah Witness and left the business after a season as Get Christie Love!
Carne spent a long time struggling with heroin.
Both are deceased.
Alright, the Bush bit I get, but LBJ? Before my time.
Yeppers. That was why I was initially interested in her movies, and her daughter’s. Plus, I’ve loved Kurt Russell since ‘Computer wore Tennis Shoes.’
Venezuela , Chile, Bolivia, and every other s hole is importing more sophisticate burglars.
