Goodwin was born in Rome, Italy, the daughter of an Italian-American father. She spent her youth in the US where she enrolled at several drama courses and started her professional career with a stage company in Washington, D.C. In the second half of the 1960s she came back to Italy, where she continued to work on stage with some of the major companies of the time, including the ones directed by Orazio Costa, Vittorio Gassman, Giancarlo Sbragia and Garinei & Giovannini. In 1970, Goodwin had her film breakout as Fortunata, one of the Tettamanzi sisters in the Alberto Lattuada's commedia all'italiana Come Have Coffee with Us.
