Goldie Hawn<\/a> took a nostalgic look back at the moment she realized daughter Kate Hudson<\/a> was destined for the bright lights of Hollywood.<\/p>\nOn Tuesday, Jan. 13, Hawn moderated a Q&A for Hudson\u2019s latest performance<\/a> in Song Sung Blue<\/em>, which recently landed her a Golden Globes nomination<\/a> for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Musical or Comedy.<\/p>\nDuring the event, Hawn, 80, noted that the 46-year-old has “obviously come from two people who make movies,”<\/a> revealing she knew her daughter would follow in their footsteps from her “first picture” as a toddler.<\/p>\n\u201cYou were on your tricycle, and you were 3 years old, and you were like this,\u201d Hawn recalled while striking a wild “look at me!” pose.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was it. I mean, and that’s when I knew you’re also a performer,” The First Wives Club <\/em>actress added.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Eric](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/NjBBKNqEJwJ.aOXfkfUItw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTQyMDtoPTY3NA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_people_articles_471\/8cb0874cf37dce96790d5c56e5fad0e0\"\/)

For Hawn, whose career spans decades of acclaimed film work, recognizing that spark in her daughter<\/a> was less about ambition and more about authenticity.<\/p>\nWatching Hudson grow into that early promise, she noted, was rooted not only in talent but in commitment and truthfulness to the craft.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s really quite something to witness your child show such extraordinary ability. It’s definitely talent, but it’s also integrity. Integrity in your work,\u201d Hawn shared during the post-screening panel at AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles. \u201cI didn’t detect one lie in your work. You were so immersed.\u201d<\/p>\n
