As the lines continue to blur between being famous for one thing and doing another because you’re famous for the first, we can only wonder whether publishers keep giving book deals to actors because they know they can sell books this way (probably) or because they just want a laff. “Goldie Hawn has signed a deal to write a series of novels after the recent success of her autobiography,” according to Ireland Online. That memoir, Goldie: A Lotus Grows in the Mud, includes dialogues remembered apparently verbatim from fifty years ago, and reveals a New Agey fondness for “holy cities” and for helping the poor: “I loved writing the book. It took me into another world and then I got offered the novel deal. It’s great — and such a change from acting.” … And then I got offered the novel deal — funny how cocktail waitresses and pool-cleaners and math teachers almost never get to say that.
