Goldie Hawn, actress, Private Benjamin

Like Lucy [Ball] and Judy Holliday, [my character Judy Benjamin] had an openness and gullibility where she believes what she's told. There was a sense of innocence, self-humor and also self-recognition. You can't do that without being smart, self aware, and comfortable with your own being. Lucy and Judy Holliday were intelligent women who really were unafraid to be who they are. There was no pretending. You can't teach that vulnerability, that wide openness. You can only own it.
