Fun fact
She and Kurt Russell were practically Muskoka locals for a while — just without the passport.
The verdict
She and Kurt Russell owned a property in Muskoka, Ontario for years and spent real time there. She's seen a lake, or at least a mountain view. But she has no citizenship, no Canadian parents, and no formative years north of the border. The cottage was lovely, Goldie. We're still not claiming you.
