I didn't get the girl in Tequila Sunrise, so I finally got to be married to her for 40 years in this [series].
Kurt Russell was drawn to 'The Madison' for its love story, which made him reflect on his relationship with Goldie Hawn. He had a hard time getting through the scripts because they emotionally affected him. He relates to his character Preston Clyburn because he has had similar conversations with Goldie Hawn.
Patrick J. Adams joined 'The Madison' after losing his stepfather a year prior, relating to the show's themes of grief. Kurt Russell's grandfather, Bing Russell, owned the Kennebago Lake Club in Rangeley, Maine.
It was great, that connection from working together and having a really good time all those years ago… what was it, 1988? Michelle and I had a really great time.
Kurt Russell is stepfather to Goldie Hawn's children, including Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson. He has a son named Boston from a previous relationship. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn first met on the set of the Disney movie 'The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band' in 1966.
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn live in Colorado. Kurt Russell feels urban life has great value but believes country life allows for self-reflection. Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer previously worked together in the 1988 film 'Tequila Sunrise'.
It was a more difficult time for her in terms of what the production itself offered and created, but this was just smooth sailing. This was a dream, just a pleasure every day. I worked primarily with Matthew Fox and Michelle and I just wanted to be able to hopefully bring to this character what Michelle’s character needs.
'The Madison' has been renewed for a second season, expected to return early next year.
And what the family needs to know about him, feel about him. When they move from New York to Montana, that’s when you really begin to discover a lot of things they didn’t know about their father.
I grew up with that. I was never a great fly-fisher, and I’ve got a son, Oliver Hudson, who’s a great f
As you get older and you begin to sort of look at your life as a whole – I’m really glad that I made some of the choices I made in my life. One, moving to Colorado. I was fortunate in that Goldie loves Colorado. She wanted to go there. We get there as much as we possibly can. It’s a draw for me.
When you’re in the country you have time for self-reflection. I think that’s something that all people, no matter what age, man or woman, is an important thing not to forget. But to remember that you have that deep attraction to the land in you, and it can teach you things about yourself that you can often forget when you’re in an urban environment.
I had a hard time getting through the scripts. They just kept hitting me really hard, and I felt that that was a big part of this show's potential, ability to grab an audience. Its writing was so authentic.
It was so powerful for it to have a serious, true love relationship with someone, and then for one of those people to go, and for the other to realize they didn’t know how good it was – that they didn’t know there was so much more to it, and they’re not going to let that go.
Goldie and I have had very similar conversations. Their relationship, it's the kind of relationship you almost never see anymore. It's a truly loving relationship. It's not like there's another shoe to drop. That's what makes it so difficult for [Michelle's] character when she loses her husband. She's realizing how much more they could have had that they didn't have because of something she didn't do.
I think a lot of people relate to that kind of regret. As you get older and you've only got so much time left, that doubles things up in terms of looking at what you've done in your life so far and what you want to do with the rest of your life.
