Hawn began her acting career as a cast member of the Good Morning, World during the 1967-1968 television season. Her next role, which brought her to international attention, was as one of the regular cast members on the 1960s Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Noted equally for her chipper attitude as for her bikini and painted body, Hawn personified something of a 1960s "It" girl. This persona was parlayed into three popular film appearances in the late 1960s and early 1970s: Cactus Flower, There's a Girl in My Soup and Butterflies Are Free. She made her feature film debut in the 1968 The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family... Hawn won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Cactus Flower (1969), which was her first supporting role.

After Academy Award win in April 1970, her film career took off. She starred in There's a Girl in My Soup (1970), $ (1971), Butterflies Are Free (1972) and Shampoo (1975) as well as proving herself in the dramatic league with the satirical dramas The Girl from Petrovka and The Sugarland Express both in 1974. The latter was a sort of comeback for Goldie who had been out of the spotlight for two years since the 1976 release of The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox. Foul Play which became a box office smash and revived Hawn's career in the film industry. Hawn's next film, Lovers and Liars (1979), was a box office bomb.

Hawn's popularity continued into the 1980's starting with Private Benjamin (1980) which garnered Hawn her second Academy Award nomination, this time for Best Actress. Hawn's box office success continued with an assortment of pictures, including comedies like Seems Like Old Times (1980), Protocol (1984) and Wildcats (1986) and dramas like Best Friends (1982) and Swing Shift (1984).

Her career slowed down after 1987, but was revived somewhat in 1990 with the action comedy Bird on a Wire, a critically panned but commercially successful. The early 90's weren't particularly good to Hawn, with little success associated with the thriller Deceived (1991) or the drama CrissCross (1992). But her success in 1992 with Death Becomes Her garnered her much attention. Following up that was HouseSitter (1992), which again ventured into commercial and critical success. She made her entry back into the film business with producing the satirical comedy Something to Talk About.

She returned to the screen again in 1996 in financially and critically successful The First Wives Club. She continued her tenure in the 90's with Everyone Says I Love You (1996) The Out-of-Towners (1999) which was critically panned and bombed at the box office.

In 2001 Hawn played in Town & Country, a critical and financial fiasco. Budgeted at an estimated US$90 million, the film opened to little notice and grossed only $7 million in its North American theatrical run. As of 2008, her last film appearance was in the 2002 The Banger.

Hawn announced in an interview with AARP's magazine that her next film project would be called Ashes to Ashes.

Her performance is acknowledged as one of the most powerful on-screen debuts in film history. After To Have and Have Not, Bacall was seen in the critically panned Confidential Agent (1945). She then appeared in the film noir The Big Sleep (1946), the thriller Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948). She was cast in Bright Leaf (1950).

For her leads in a string of films she received favorable reviews. Young Man with a Horn (1950) is often considered the first big-budget jazz film. Bacall starred in How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953, a runaway hit. Bacall got positive notices for her turn as the witty gold-digger, Schatze Page.

Written on the Wind, directed by Douglas Sirk in 1956, is now considered a classic tear-jerker. Bacall starred in the 1957 slapstick comedy Designing Woman for rave reviews. Bacall's movie career waned in the 1960s, and she was only seen in a handful of films. But on Broadway she starred in Goodbye, Charlie (1959), Cactus Flower (1965), Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). She won Tony Awards for her performances in the latter two. The few movies Bacall shot during this period were all-star vehicles such as Sex and the Single Girl (1964), Harper (1966), and Murder on the Orient Express (1974).

For her work in the Chicago theatre, she won the Sarah Siddons Award in 1972 and again in 1984. In 1976, Bacall co-starred with John Wayne in his last picture, The Shootist. They had previously been cast together in 1955's Blood Alley. During the 1980's, Bacall appeared in the poorly received star vehicle The Fan (1981) as well as Health (1980) and Appointment with Death (1988). In 1997, Bacall was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), for which she had already won a Golden Globe.

She received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1997. In 1999, she was voted one of the 25 most significant female movie stars in history by the American Film Institute. Since then, her movie career has seen a new renaissance and she has attracted respectful notices for her performances in high-profile projects such as Dogville (2003), The Limit (2003), and Birth (2004). She is one of the leading actors in 2007 The Walker.

In March 2006, she was seen at the 78th Annual Academy Awards introducing a film montage dedicated to the film noir genre. She also made a cameo appearance on The Sopranos in April 2006. In September 2006, Bacall was awarded the first Katharine Hepburn Medal, which recognizes "women whose lives, work and contributions embody the intelligence, drive and independence of the four-time-Oscar-winning actress", by Bryn Mawr College's Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center.
