Midway through Goldie Hawn and Michael Eisner\u2019s on-stage conversation at the Aspen Ideas Festival at the beginning of July, the former Disney CEO proposed a theory for what made Hawn stand out in Hollywood over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my position, the hardest artist to find is a beautiful, funny woman,\u201d he said. \u201cBy far. They usually\u2014boy am I going to get in trouble, I know this goes online\u2014but usually, unbelievably beautiful women, you being an exception, are not funny.\u201d \u2013 The Atlantic 07\/03\/15<\/p>\n

He of course thought Goldie Hawn was beautiful and funny, and she is, but this whole \u201cwomen aren\u2019t funny\u201d and now upping the ante with a \u201cwoman can\u2019t be beautiful and funny\u201d really gets my goat. Hopefully it bothers you too.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand why people think women aren\u2019t funny, and seriously, why can\u2019t they be beautiful and funny? Obviously humor, and beauty, are in the funny bone, and eye of the beholder, but I can easily show you a bunch of beautiful women with quite the knack for comedy.<\/p>\n
