1970

In the 1970s, these two icons joined forces for Goldie Hawn’s cover of Dolly Parton’s 1971 single, My Blue Tears. “I was so excited,” Parton wrote In her 2020 book, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, “It was Goldie Hawn. That’s when she was on Laugh-In. She was the cutest, sweetest thing, and who even knew that she could sing?” According to the Academy Award winning Hawn, she fangirled over Parton when they met face-to-face. However, that moment of admiration turned into instant confusion after the Grammy winner gave Hawn a strange compliment that she’s still puzzled over. “Oh, my god, when I met Dolly Parton, I was never so excited,” Hawn recalled. “She opens the door with Porter Wagoner, and she looked like just a gorgeous – this beautiful, hourglass, amazing figure and so sweet. She went, ‘Goldie, you look just like Poppin’ Fresh!'” For those who don’t know, Poppin’ Fresh is the name of the famous Pillsbury Doughboy, which to Hawn seemed like an off compliment at the time. But despite Parton comparing her to a famous advertising icon, Hawn still had nothing but praise for the music legend. “She was so great,” the actor said. “I got to go in there and sing her song with my daddy playing [the violin]. It’s just the most beautiful memory.”
