Goldie Hawn has detailed her “casting couch” moment with famed cartoonist Al Capp, in which he allegedly came into the room “disrobed” and asked for a kiss.
“I was 19. I went up for the ‘meet,’ and I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’ and it was so scary,” Hawn told People Editor-in-Chief Jess Cagle. “He disrobed, he took off his business clothes and came in in, like, a dressing gown. I got the picture there, and I thought, ‘I’m in trouble. Where’s the door?’”
However, when Capp, known for his “Li’l Abner” comic strip, gave her an acting note, she briefly felt at ease — until he sat down next to her.
