WHILE WOMEN were busy burning their bras in the late 1960s, Goldie Hawn was slipping into a bikini and body paint to play a bombshell ditz with a high pitched giggle on the sketch comedy show Laugh-In. But in the process of charming the hell out of America and catapulting herself to It-girl status, the 22-year-old Hawn also managed to raise some feminist eyebrows. “An editor from a women’s magazine came up to me and said, ‘Don’t you feel terrible that you’re playing a dumb blonde?’” recalls the star, who was stunned by the query. “I said, ‘I don’t understand that question because I’m already liberated. Liberation comes from the inside.’”
