Goldie Hawn has shared a story from her early years in the industry, accusing famed cartoonist Al Capp of ๐‘ e๐‘ฅually harassing her during an audition at the age of 19.

โ€œI had a script and I was reading for this script,โ€ Hawn, 76, recalled of the 1964 incident on SiriusXMโ€™sย โ€œThe Megyn Kelly Showโ€ Friday. โ€œI go to Park Avenue at the time Iโ€™m supposed to meet with him. Next thing I know Iโ€™m in this rich guyโ€™s apartment, and heโ€™s famous and his name is Al Capp.โ€

Capp โ€” who died in 1979 โ€” is the famed cartoonist and humorist best known for his satirical comic strip, โ€œLiโ€™l Abner.โ€

โ€œIn he walks with his โ€“ I didnโ€™t know he had a wooden leg, but he did โ€“ well, he walked like he had a wooden leg. He had this insidious grin. It was really ugly,โ€ Hawn continued. โ€œAnd he said, โ€˜Iโ€™ll be back in a minute, Iโ€™m just going to slip into something.โ€™ And he came back in a robe. So now I am freaking out because I am recognizing that something is going on.โ€

โ€œNow Iโ€™m thinking to myself, โ€˜I better let him know Iโ€™m a good girl, I better let him know that, whatever heโ€™s thinking, itโ€™s not going to happen.’โ€

โ€œSo I talk about my mom and my dad, and the fact that they wanted me to marry a Jewish dentist, and I wanted him to know that I was religious,โ€ she said. โ€œI wanted him to know that I had scruples.โ€

Hawn went on to say that Capp asked her to slowly walk toward him with a โ€œstupidโ€ expression.

โ€œโ€˜Look stupid. Look like an imbecile,’โ€ she claims he ordered before asking her to raise the hem of her skirt for a better look at her legs.

While she initially obliged, lifting her skirt just above the knee, his demand for her to raise it โ€œhigherโ€ led to the beauty refusing.

โ€œHe said, โ€˜Come on over here and give me a kiss.โ€™ I was shocked, but I expected something like that,โ€ she continued.ย โ€œAnd so I went over to the couch because I wanted him to know that I wasnโ€™t going to run out of the room, I was going to stay calm, and whatever. And he pulled over hisโ€ฆwhatever that robe wasโ€ฆand his whole apparatus, his whole wiener, was literally lying there.โ€

At this point, Hawn made it clear that the audition would go no further.

โ€œI looked at it and I said, โ€˜Oh, Mr. Capp, Iโ€™ll never get a job like this.โ€™ And he said, โ€˜Well Iโ€™ve had them all, and nothing will become of you.โ€™ And I said โ€˜Thatโ€™s okay, Iโ€™m a dancer anyway, but Iโ€™ll never get a job like this.โ€™ And he said, โ€˜Well, you just go back and marry a Jewish dentist.โ€™ And I said โ€˜Oh, I might.โ€™ And I walked out,โ€ Hawn said.

As she left in tears, she realized that NYCโ€™s L train was not running, and that she needed to get to her dancing gig at the 1964 Worldโ€™s Fair.

โ€œHe threw me $20 for a taxicab. It wasnโ€™t a good day,โ€ she added.

In 2017, Hawn recalled the story to People, calling the encounter, โ€œso scary.โ€
