TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Goldie Hawn signed onto Private Benjamin in June 1979 and went through boot camp training for six weeks.

This movie was the first ever movie screenplay especially written and tailored for actress Goldie Hawn.

P.J. Soles had to audition for the film wearing a dark wig as Goldie Hawn didn't want another blonde to feature in the production.

Off-duty service men and women were used as extras for the war games and basic training sequences as the replica basic training course was so authentic.

Actress Goldie Hawn was five months pregnant with daughter Kate Hudson when she was approached by writer Nancy Meyers with a story outline for this movie. Hawn said after reading it: "You write the damned thing and I'll produce it".
