Maturity Becomes A Factor
Although the primary intimacy between the couple certainly stood out during the movies’ production, the pair embarked on different paths with the production’s conclusion, with Hawn deciding that their difference in ages was quite inappropriate. Russel was 16 at that time, Hawn was 21. “I thought he was very adorable, but he was too much young,” Hawn discussed in a BBC interview.
Propelled Into Fame
When the duo concluded their time in the film, their individual careers were destined for greatness. Hawn would go on to net an Oscar nomination for her performance in The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band for Best Supporting Actress, virtually sealing her superstar status. Her lovable charisma and acting skills would build her a fanbase, along with an Academy Award nomination.
