Now, the actress is opening up about the best thing about working with her partner of 40 years. As she reflected on Overboard, Goldie rewatched a clip of the duo together in the film, as well as what it's like working with Kurt.

"This is a funny part of the movie," she said of the clip, "but the best part of the movie was working with Kurt (Russell). Not because I loved him, and not because he's endlessly talented, but he is like me."

Wyatt's wife Meredith Hagner described them as "the greatest people, greatest grandparents."

She continued: "They live down the road from us, so my son is like — that's their second home," adding: "They'll have a cookie jar that's always full, and my son knows where it is, and they have a toy box that is always brimming with toys."

While Goldie and Kurt may be huge stars with incredible legacies, they prioritize family above all — and are surprisingly normal. The Bad Monkey actress said that when she met the couple not long after she started dating Wyatt in 2016, she was struck by how they came across.

"The thing that always struck me about meeting them is just how normal they are, like you forget within five seconds [how famous they are]," she said.
