## Summary

Goldie Hawn recalled meeting Elvis Presley while rehearsing *Laugh-In* at NBC Studios, where he told her she looked “like a chicken that’s just been hatched”. Hawn said she thanked him, and described the encounter as the start of a warm connection with the singer.

Years later, while performing a Las Vegas residency, Hawn and her father stayed for three weeks in Presley’s private suite at the Hilton Hotel. She said he rarely invited people into the suite and remembered him as “a precious, precious person”. Hawn also discussed her children’s book, published in May, and paid tribute to her late friend Dolly Parton.
