She emphasized the importance of hard work and staying compassionate. "And I'm passing that on because that was what my father taught me: Stay in reality. Don’t get taken away with everything. The rest of it is up to them," Goldie explained.

In an August 2017 interview, she expressed how her family brings her deep happiness and fulfillment. "A good family is the answer to happiness...I look at our kids and grandchildren and there's nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all them," she said.
Goldie expressed her deep appreciation for the joys of being a grandmother, describing it as amazing and a source of incredible joy. She emphasized the significance of family and its importance in her life.
While Goldie's photo with Rio earned several praises online, another vacation photo of her with her partner, Kurt Russell, in Skiathos, Greece sparked discussion, as reported on June 17.
During their vacation, Goldie wore a black backless swimsuit with a printed scarf wrapped around her waist. She tied her messy blonde hair with a white clamp, allowing a few strands to fall across her face. Her relaxed look, however, was criticized.
One bewildered netizen who saw the 78-year-old actress's photo on social media remarked, "Eternally youthful?????" However, another countered, suggesting people let Goldie and Kurt vacation in peace, saying, "Leave them alone."
Continuing her relaxed beach ensemble, Goldie completed her look with dark sunglasses and white strappy sandals. Kurt sported black shorts, a grey baseball cap, and a long-sleeved dark blue shirt. He was also seen shirtless at one point.
More netizens aired their reactions online. A disappointed netizen criticized Kurt's shirtless style, stating, "That's great! Now, please put on a shirt."

One naysayer suggested that Goldie and Kurt should consider dressing more conservatively, commenting, "There comes a time when people should reconsider what they wear... some form of a cover-up would be appropriate here."
Another questioned whether the couple in the photos were actually the celebrity couple, noting, "That doesn't even look like them."

Amid the criticisms thrown at the longtime pair, some netizens came to Goldie and Kurt's defense. One netizen brings some perspective about aging to the critics, remarking, "They look like an older couple, just like the rest of us."

Skiathos was the same vacation spot Goldie and Kurt visited in 2022. During that trip, Goldie wore a black one-piece swimsuit and sunglasses, looking fantastic as she showed off her legs, arms, and chest.
Kurt, who always found Goldie beautiful, wore black and white shorts and was shirtless while enjoying a speedboat ride with her. Despite Kurt's admiration, Twitter users criticized the couple's appearance when vacation photos surfaced.
One of the vile comments Goldie and Kurt received read, "They look like they should be in a nursing home. They both look really aged, and I do understand they're older, but [it] looks like they didn't age as well as the article seems to intend to make us believe."
