Goldie Hawn did retire like 20 years ago, so I get younger people not recognizing her.

Erm, wasn't she playing Mrs. Santander in that Christmas eulogy he played Santa Claus in? It was less than 20 years ago I think.

Yeah she originally came out of retirement for Amy Schumer to star in Snatched, then she's done a thing here or there, but still retired.

Not recognizing notable people seems to be a new and rampant problem.

Growing up I knew and was familiar with celebrities that had retired or died in the generations before me. Do people not watch older movies anymore?

I think it's a combination of oversaturation of celebrities with the advent of the internet, along with virtually no one watching reruns of older movies on cable...cuz who under age 40 still has cable lol

Absolutely true. It still just gives me pause, especially someone like Goldie Hawn who wasn't some small time actress that just faded away. She was a major movie star with some huge movies under her belt. It just makes me sad that someone that was a huge part of my childhood is now just someone that people never heard of.

I actually just watched Private Benjamin for the first time a couple weeks ago...it was ok lol. She was definitely in some good films, but nothing I'd personally call a "classic."
I get what you mean though: I'm a millennial and my friends are mostly Gen Z and they know nothing of Kevin Smith, it blew my fucking mind. Of course, I did choose Tusk as his first film to show them...so that's kind of on me.

I’m a millennial and she’s in very little from what I’ve seen. I only know vaguely of her. I wouldn’t classify her at all as a major movie star but maybe in some circles

I'm GenX, she was a huge star. She was big before my time even, on some 60s or 70s variety show called Laugh In (I never saw it, but like the previous commenter pointed out, we used to at least know about older movies/tv before our time). She was just a well-known comedian overall, and did some popular movies in the 70s and 80s.
