London, Jan 28 (IANS) Veteran actress Goldie Hawn had to undergo therapy for nine years to cope with her instant rise to fame.The actress had no plans to become a film star when she first came to Los Angeles to work as a dancer - but movie executives liked her look and her spirit and she was on the fast-track to superstardom before she could even realise it, reports dailystar.co.uk.
“My whole life was turned upside down… I didn’t wanna be a star… I wanted to dance and have fun and travel and go home and open a dancing school. I had my life planned,” she told Oprah Winfrey on her chat show.
“When that (movie success) happened, something happened to my brain; I lost my smile, I became really depressed, I had anxiety attacks, I had panic attacks… I would go into a place and I had to leave because I’d get dizzy and feel like I wanted to throw up.”
So the actress turned to therapy to help her cope with overnight fame: “I had to find my smile again… It was probably the hardest time I ever had because it wasn’t me and it wasn’t what I wanted to be.”
