When Song Sung Blue premiered in early 2026, one moment captured the public’s attention not for its red‑carpet glamour, but for the raw, heartfelt emotion it evoked from one of Hollywood’s most beloved acting families.
At a post‑screening panel held on January 13 at AMC The Grove in Los Angeles, legendary actress Goldie Hawn and longtime partner Kurt Russell openly shared their reaction to daughter Kate Hudson’s performance — admitting that they were moved to tears. For fans and critics alike, the revelation offered a rare glimpse into the intimate impact of a powerful performance on those who know the artist best.
