She wasn't playing she was really that stupid and there was no acting in it. These time were when this country started to fall apart. Character actress?

There was no shortage of character actors from this era who did bad hippie impressions on television-it wasn't just that they were spiteful and unkind beyond the requirements of satire and in the service of a reactionary viewership, but also clueless, as if they had never actually met anybody who belonged to the counterculture and were not at all curious. What a marked contrast this woman's performance makes: Not only is she easy on the eyes and very likeable, she also seems very well to embody that oblique ebullience characteristic of the type-I mean, she seems authentic enough to me.

She didn't care about my car my job,she was just a nice kind person Wore simple cottin dresses or levis , sandles rode a ten speed. She had flowers in her, so I would always use Cheets&Chong's line."Hey hippie want to buy a watch? We are now 74 and my "hippie chick" is upstairs sleeping. Her first name is Dawn. She is a real life Mary Anne........When I tell that story she would note that she wasn't so much a hippie as broke. (rescue animals, help support her mother loan money to relatives) She still wears "flowers in her" Some guys have all the luck. P.S. I use her internet.

What a great time to be alive back then. I LOVED the hippies when I was a little kid. Aside from the abundance amount of drugs, their philosophy about loving all people and getting people to chill out was one that resonated with me, deeply. As a young black child, i always felt like I fitted in with them regardless of my race. Being around hippies, i never felt as though my color and race was even considered, about anything going on around them. They were cool as hell and very "Free" thinkers. I loved that time of my life. My how times have changed. I wish we could live those days again. She played a hippie to the tee. It was the beginning of that movement, to be honest, and she was probably one, in her private life. It was exactly how they thought, sounded and dressed. I remember all the dyed tee-shirts with peace signs and "flower power", written on them. Yes we had our so called "Jesus Freaks" and "Flower Childs". It was all about "LOVE", though, and loving each other no matter who you were. We could use more of that philosophy today. Bring back the 60's and 70's.

@@plane_guy6051 I'm not sure I would use the baboon analogy, but in general yes, I think those are among the things that give life a harder edge. It seems to me a large proportion all of the various "tribes" we now see in the U.S. are misbehaving (as compared to my reference era): republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, black, white, etc. The question is: Why? Why are parents giving their kids too much leeway? Why have music, TV, and the movies become so seedy? And so on. I agree that individuals bear a large part of the responsibility for this change. They have allowed themselves to value instant gratification over the hard work of living a quality life. To value spectacle over thoughtful introspection. To value fantasy escape over meaningful discussion and decision making. I see many of the destructive things that people do as being reactions to the stress of living in an economy that will not or cannot provide a living wage for all honest workers. An economy that requires huge levels of debt to buy a house or get a college education. An economy that is becoming more and more difficult to navigate year by year. In other words, I think we are living in a system that does not encourage rational behavior. We're living in a system that fosters destructive behavior. And to top it off, our elected leaders at the national level do not seem to be doing anything useful. The "American Dream" has died for many people. Nobody is even acknowledging that fact much less doing anything about it.

When Leigh French's "Goldie" character first appeared, it was an overnight sensation, people were talking about it everywhere. Many of the regular citizen viewers had never met an actual hippie/flower child and thought Goldie was real, as they had only seen/met cliche flower children on shows like Dragnet. I remember the night this was on for the first time, 8 members of our family gathered around, my older brothers home from college knew it was a joke but the rest of us bought it till they told us. Hey "MyInnerEye", please also show the "Tea Time with Goldie" sketch, it's even funnier than this one. If memory serves Goldie also appeared on the Smother's late 1980's series. By the way, WW 2 hero Major Thomas Smothers was murdered by the Japanese while a POW. That's why they did "Mom always liked you best" jokes, but never mentioned their Dad.

I think still, though you romanticize the hippie days, they were not good for the now [future] of this country. There were deep government [deep state] drug experiments going on right along side the terrible MIC's Vietnam War, (to say there was no killing then is folly), and a total loss of morality and conservatism. The hippies were victims of a twisted government social engineering. It was reflected in some of the greatest music and stage arts still viable today, but it was the undoing of a great country. All the killing, all the boarder trouble, all the race baiting, all the riots, 911, even the fact that Creepy Joe is president by fraud, has its roots in the hippie era. You can't find fault with what I say, if you really know the truth. But I loved some results. All in the Family, Three's Company, Pink Floyd, Sandford and Son, The Jeffersons, Jimmy Hendrix, King Crimson, That Girl, The Maud Squad, The Monkeys, and so much more. But I still say, in a moral way, it was not good for us in the end.

In her early career as a regular on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour of the late-1960s, actress Leigh French portrayed a somewhat spaced-out or ditzy hippie named Goldie O'Keefe. The character was originally introduced, in an ostensible studio-audience interview segment, as Goldie Keif; both "Goldie" and "Keif" were slang terms for marijuana at the time. Reportedly, the slight name change to O'Keefe when she became a semi-regular was at the television network's insistence. Her segment of the show was called "Share a Little Tea with Goldie." At the time, "sharing tea" was a popular euphemism for getting high on marijuana. Following suit, her segment consisted largely of "helpful" household advice loaded with sex and drug-related double-entendres.[
