Funny."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Midway through Goldie Hawn and Michael Eisner&#8217;s 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<p>From my position, the hardest artist to find is a beautiful, funny woman,he said. By far. They usually,\u009dboy am I going to get in trouble, I know this goes online,\u009dbut usually, unbelievably beautiful women, you being an exception, are not funny.,\u009c The Atlantic 07\/03\/15<\/p>\n<p>He of course thought Goldie Hawn was beautiful and funny, and she is, but this whole women aren&#8217;t funnyand now upping the ante with a woman can&#8217;t be beautiful and funnyreally gets my goat. Hopefully it bothers you too.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand why people think women aren&#8217;t funny, and seriously, why can&#8217;t 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<figure style=\"width: 400px\"
