Goldie Hawn has never taken herself too seriously—and unlike other actors of her generation, her star has never waned. Rising to fame on the NBC comedy show Rowan Martin’s Laugh-In in the late 1960s, she quickly became a household name, and by 1969 she had scooped an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best supporting actress for her stellar performance in Cactus Flower.

Over the decades that followed, she would play a string of leading roles in films like Shampoo, Private Benjamin, Death Becomes Her (with Meryl Streep), and The First Wives Club. She and her longtime partner, Kurt Russell, also brought up three more talented actors: Oliver Hudson, Kate Hudson, and Wyatt Russell.

Here—for no good reason except that we love her (oh, and it’s her birthday)—we’ve gathered 21 archival photos of the effortlessly charming, utterly elegant Goldie Hawn. Enjoy!
