The Oscar-winning actress starred alongside her longtime partner Kurt Russell in the romantic comedy in which she played a wealthy socialite who suffers amnesia after falling from her yacht and is taken in by a working-class carpenter. It was remade in 2018 with Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez in gender-flipped roles. In an interview with Variety, Hawn insisted her movie should have been "left alone" because a remake could never have improved upon the original. "Overboard was really perfect just as it was.”
