Not a Hollywood tell-all, A Lotus Grows in the Mud is rather a very personal look at moments both private and powerful and the ways these moments have helped carry her through life: the delight in her father's spirited spontaneity; the confidence instilled by her mother's courage; the unexpected gifts of comfort from strangers miles from home; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a parent and a lover." "Goldie describes her growing up in suburbia with dreams of becoming a ballerina, her go-go dancing years in 1960s New York, her success on TV's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and Hollywood stardom in such films as the Oscar-winning Cactus Flower, and Swing Shift and Private Benjamin. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger and fear, and the vital importance of compassion and integrity; about her partner, Kurt Russell; her children, Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, Wyatt Russell and Boston Russell; about her growing faith, her curiosity about what she doesn't know and her unquenchable thirst for knowledge and understanding."--BOOK JACKET. 20190919.
