Goldie Hawn's in Germany to make her mark

FRANKFURT — "Two down and two to go," says Goldie Hawn, giving the precept status of her budding movie career during a stopover here Friday between planes.

"Dollar", the Oscar winner's third film, has a three-month shooting schedule in Hamburg. (Later this year, she will star in her fourth film, "Butterflies Are Free.")

The 24-year-old actress jetted into town under the wing of her movie mentor Mike Frankovich and accompanied by her husband (director Gus Trikonis), a secretary and pet poodle Lamb Chop.

However, the giddy, blonde sensation of TV's "Laugh-In" remained mum about being named this week to Mr. Blackwell's fashion list of the world's 10 "worst dressed" women.

Blackwell called her "a shaggy dog on stilts ... wearing bandaids," referring to her TV bikini.

Garbed in knee-high laced boots with brown knickerbockers and matching jersey topped by a shaggy fur coat, Goldie managed to charm local newspapermen with her newly acquired German.

There wasn't much for the green-eyed star to say about her pending movie, since she hadn't yet read the script. Goldie said she trusts Mike's judgment.

Her big eyes twinkling, she added, "If you don't have trust, you have nothing at all."

But a dumb blonde, she's not. Frankovich has been responsible for such blockbusters as "A Man for All Seasons," "Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice" and last year's Oscar winner, "Oliver!"

The movie mogul lured her away from her scatter-brained role on "Laugh-In" to introduce her' to big-screen audiences in "Cactus Flower." For this film she won an Academy Award as best supporting actress.

Her second Frankovich film, "There's a Girl in My Soup," is currently cleaning up at Stateside box-offices.

Frankovich piped in, "I'd rather have her for a picture than any other actress in the business. I think she can do any kind of role" and added that he is now searching for a musical to star her in.

Goldie's costars in "Dollar" will be Warren Beatty and German actor Gert Frobe. The film is based on an original screenplay by Richard Brooks, who also directs.

"The story takes place in Hamburg," explains Frankovich. "It deals with the good and evil of money. Some people in the picture have it, others want it."

He continues, "Goldie's the catalyst and everybody concerned with this money involves her and she doesn't know why. A rather difficult part to play."

After shooting in Hamburg, the producer says the crew moves south to Bavaria for special chase sequences. Frankovich's company is also currently doing the film version of Jacqueline Susann's book, "The Love Machine."

Goldie and Gus have been married since May 1969, after the couple met while working in a road show production of "Kiss Me Kate." He is along to do a documentary of the crew in action, for later promotional use by Columbia Pictures, distributor of the film.

When asked if there were any little Goldies, she replied with an impish grin, "No, but we plan to have about two children. Although I have a feeling they will be little Guses."

She says she is no longer connected with the "Laugh-In" show and has no desire to do another small screen series. "TV is exhausting. Also I find movies more fulfilling."

Like many other stars, Goldie says she has always had the acting bug. When asked if she had a film favorite when she was a child, "Yes ... Hopalong Cassidy!"
