Goldie Hawn admits death of co-star Ruth Buzzi 'hurts so deeply'
Goldie Hawn has admitted the death of her friend and co-star Ruth Buzzi "hurts so deeply". The comedian died on Thursday of complications from Alzheimer's disease at her home near Fort Worth, Texas. She was 88. Reacting to the news on Instagram on Friday, her Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In collaborator Hawn paid a heartfelt tribute alongside a throwback black-and-white photo of the pair on the sketch comedy show. "My Ruthie, you're gone, and it hurts so deeply. I'll always treasure our daily calls, how we could talk endlessly, even after long days," she captioned the post. "You were my girlfriend, my heart through life's ups and downs. You made me laugh like no one else could. You were beyond talented, Ruthie. A one of a kind soul who brought so much laughter and light to the world. "Those deep, joyful laughs we shared, especially while making Laugh In, will stay with me forever. I love you. Wishing you peace and beautiful travels in the arms of the angels." Hawn appeared on 64 episodes of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In from 1968 to 1970, while Buzzi was a mainstay on the series during its run between 1968 to 1973. The star's daughter Kate Hudson and actress Demi Moore showed their support in the comments by posting white dove and red heart emojis. Meanwhile, actress/singer Rita Wilson remembered growing up watching Hawn and Buzzi on the show. "So sorry for the loss of your dear friend Goldie. I was lucky enough to meet her when we did the Laugh In 50th show," she wrote in the comments. "You were all comedy queens and kings. Ruth will be remembered in my heart forever."

Ruthie's brick-and-mortar restaurant opens in South Dallas
The Brief A new food destination opened its doors in South Dallas on Monday. It's called Ruthie's Café, and it's run by the nonprofit Good Foundation. It's the same Ruthie's as the food trucks that boast grilled cheese sandwiches made using the recipe of the CEO's grandmother, Ruthie. DALLAS - Ruthie's food trucks are not going away. Instead, the nonprofit organization that runs them is expanding its mission with a brick-and-mortar restaurant in South Dallas. Why you should care The new Ruthie's Café has a three-fold purpose – to provide nourishing food to the community, to support St. Philip's School, and to give folks who need it a second chance. Housed in a building owned by St. Philip's School and Community Center, all proceeds will go to the South Dallas private school that Good Foundation CEO Ashlee Kleinert and her husband, Chris, call their inspiration. Kleinert is hopeful the new café will have the perfect recipe for building up lives and the community. "That's really the mission, about why we are here," she said. The backstory Good Foundation's mission started with Ruthie's food trucks. Kleinert took her grandmother's famous grilled cheese recipe and began giving second chances to people who've been in trouble, many with a history that makes it hard for them to get a traditional job. That calling should continue with the café and a partnership with the Unlocking Doors re-entry program. "Anybody who is staffing this restaurant is an Unlocking Doors client. That gives you an idea of how the partnership is working," Kleinert said. What they're saying Roy Morales moved up from his mess-ups to make the most of his second chance as the Ruthie's Café manager. "And it shows that if you do the right thing, you know, that you can move up and make good money. You know, the right way. And this place gives value to the ex-convicts and people who have messed up in the past," he said. "If you don't risk getting out of the boat, you'll never walk on water," said St. Philip's School Headmaster Terry Flowers. "Ashlee and Chris, you guys allowed a dream to incarnate inside of you and so many people joined forces to help make all of this happen. And we deeply appreciate it. That you got out of the boat and decided to help something miraculous take place right here in South Dallas." "I hope it's something that people will come and celebrate with us and realize that when you come and dine here or have a sandwich or have a cup of coffee here that you're, it's something bigger than just that sandwich or cup of coffee," Kleinert said. The Source To gather information for this story, FOX 4 reporter Shaun Rabb and photojournalist John Gnann attended the ribbon-cutting event for the new Ruthie's Café on Monday, Feb. 24, 2025.
