The Snatched star says she isn't fazed by the unrealistic beauty standards in showbiz, as she explains: 'You think you’re going to fight the system? You think you’re going to prove to Hollywood when you hit 45 that you’re still a sexy, viable object? No.

She's had a long and illustrious acting career. And at the tender age of 71, Goldie Hawn proves that she's still at the top of her game.
She's starring in the new movie Snatched with Amy Schumer and after making her press rounds to promote the film, Goldie landed on the pages of the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

'There’s a certain reality. Does it make me angry? No. I’m not an angry person. I’m not a militant person. Anger doesn’t get you anywhere. It’s not productive.'
Hawn is coming out of a 15-year hiatus from the big screen and stars in mother-daughter comedy Snatched with comedian Amy Schumer.
Recalling the moment she met the Inside Amy Schumer star, Hawn revealed: 'Amy laughed and said, "I know you don’t know who I am," and I actually didn't. But I could have eaten her face, she was so damn cute.'

'I could have eaten her face, she was so damn cute.': Hawn recalled of the moment she first met Snatched co-star Amy Schumer. The duo are pictured last week on Watch What Happens Live
Schumer, 35, said of the moment: 'I accosted her on a plane. I waited until we landed, then approached her and said there was a movie I was working on and I wanted her to play my mom.'
Hawn goes on to share her thoughts about the sexism she faced in Hollywood when making her hit movie The First Wives Club.
'Even though we were all stars, [Hollywood] was nervous about the movie…we all took a cut in our salary, we all took a cut in our back end. Because the studios were never sanguine on trusting that women carrying a movie would actually work.'

The mother-of-three reflected on a time at the beginning of her showbiz career when she was criticized by feminists for playing a ditzy character in '60s sketch-comedy Laugh-In.
'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?" I said, "I don't understand that question because I'm already liberated. Liberation comes from the inside."'
The latest issue of Harper's Bazaar hits newsstands May 23.
'We all took a cut in our salary': The actress also reflects on how Hollywood execs were concerned about her hit 1996 movie First Wives Club because they feared women couldn't carry a movie
