Hawn said of this in the biography 'Pure Goldie: The Life and Times of Goldie Hawn' by Marc Shapiro: "I didn't plan on becoming a producer... I only wanted to create better roles for myself, and I loved the idea of Private Benjamin so much that I felt it would be the perfect opportunity to finally control my own destiny."

Actress Goldie Hawn was five months pregnant with daughter Kate Hudson when she was approached by writer Nancy Meyers with a story outline for this movie. Hawn said after reading it: "You write the damned thing and I'll produce it".
