Goldie Hawn was asked about Meryl Streep saying that she was always late to set when they worked together.
The women costarred in 1992’s Death Becomes Her.
“I’m 15 minutes late to everything. I do,” Hawn said.
Goldie Hawn heard that Meryl Streep said her Death Becomes Her costar was late to set when they were making the 1992 movie, and Hawn admitted that, yes, she has a problem getting places on time.
“I think I’m 15 minutes late to everything. I do,” Hawn told Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview. “I mean, honestly, it’s unbelievable.”
But the Overboard star said she and Streep “got through that” to become “such good friends for so long.”

“But it is our joke,” Hawn said. “She said I was too late on the set. Maybe she’s too early. I don’t know.”
She then explained: “Sometimes when you’re too early, you’re still waiting for somebody and you think, ‘Oh, god, where the hell is she?'”
Streep made the revelation while looking back over her career with Vanity Fair ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2.
“Goldie, she was always late to set, but she was so adorable,” Streep said. “And I’m always on time, you know, and annoying. But she’s late, and she had a red convertible, I remember. She’d drive herself to set. And so that was probably the problem. She’d drive herself to set.”
By the early ’90s, both actresses were big box office draws and Oscar winners.
“She had her hair all over,” Streep said of Hawn. “She’s like, ‘Oh gosh, sorry!’ And everybody thought, ‘Oh, she’s so cute.’ So I had a beef with her, but I loved her. I love her. She’s one of my buddies.”

The women did play rivals in Death Becomes Her. The Robert Zemeckis comedy, which shows the desperate pursuit of youth, costarred Bruce Willis as a plastic surgeon and the object of both of their affection.
In real life, though, the women were so close that Hawn was chosen as one of the people to honor Streep when she received the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award in 2004.
“I love you, baby!” Hawn said then. “Way to go.”
