Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell couldn't be happier to escape to their home in Snowmass Village, Colorado when the going gets tough down in Hollywood.
The longtime couple, who've been together since Valentine's Day 1983, divide their time between their California home and their Colorado mountain estate, where Kurt, 75, has lived since his 20s.

Speaking with Fox News, the star of the new Taylor Sheridan series The Madison compared dividing his time between LA and the mountains to his character Preston Clyburn's own on the show as well.
He also noted that he actually prefers being in Colorado over Hollywood, and Goldie, 80, does even more so. "What I enjoy most is that she really likes it in Colorado," he shared.
As it turns out, they have family right by their side there too. "Wyatt [Russell] and Meredith [Hagner] and their two boys, they live in Colorado now. So we like to spend as much time there as we can."
"A different kind of life"
He continued: "I'd like to be there more. And there's a different kind of life there. That's primarily it. I'd like to be able to spend as much time there as possible."

The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell
The Madison, which released the final three episodes of its first season on March 21, also stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, Preston's wife and the family matriarch. It centers primarily around her emotional journey as she and her family relocate from New York City to the Madison Valley in Montana following a shocking family tragedy.

He added: "It's been a long time since I've seen a really successful long-term relationship. It's been a long [time] since I've seen a tragedy that's relatable and a whole family that has to experience what it's like to be a fish out of water now and all the things that they find out about themselves."

"I thought everything about it was good, but it was Michelle playing Stacy that, you know, I said, 'Wow, she's going to kill that,' and she has. Really fantastic."
