Hawn just kept going and going as the years went on. She kicked off the 1980s with 'Private Benjamin,' which earned her another 'Best Actress' Oscar Nomination, and then went back to playing for laughs in 1992's 'Death Becomes Her,' with several great films in between. Things continued to be successful for Hawn until the turn of the century, when her first box office failure seemed to hit her hard.
Hawn appeared in 'Town & Country' with Warren Beatty and Diane Keating in 2001. With an all-star cast and a $90m budget, the movie was expected to do great things, but critics hated it, and audiences avoided it. When it was pulled from cinema screens, it had grossed just $7m. Seemingly stung by this, Hawn pulled away from acting and went mostly unseen for the next fifteen years. That wasn't the end of her career, though. In 2017 she returned, performing with Amy Schumer in 'Snatched' and playing her part so gracefully it was like she'd never been away.
