Welcome my Gwyneth Paltrow Site!
What can I say about one of my all time favorite actresses. I love Gwyneth! A lot of people put down Shakespeare In Love, but it's my all time favorite movie and Gwyneth truly deserved her Academy Award for Best Actress! This site is my truibute to this lovely actress and person. Let's face it, Gwyneth does get around. She's had relationships with some of the most dreamy guys Hollywood has to offer, from Brad Pitt to Ben Afleck, but I'm so happy that she's now settled down with Chris Martin and I love that she's now a mother and wish her the best that her marriage is a long and happy one.
Here's a brief background of her early
life. Gwyneth was born in Los Angeles, California, to the late Bruce
Paltrow, a film director, and Blythe Danner (a great actress!); Paltrow's father
was Jewish and her mother was raised in the Quaker religion. Raised in Santa
Monica, she attended Spence School, a selective private girls' school in New
York City, and briefly studied Art History at the University of California,
Santa Barbara, before dropping out and committing herself to acting. Paltrow has
a younger brother named Jake and is a cousin of actress Katherine Moennig. She
is an adopted child of Talavera de la Reina, where she lived as an exchange
student.
Film Career Overview
Her debut film was Shout (1991), and later the same year she had a small role in Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991). She later starred in Se7en (1995), dating her co-star Brad Pitt. Her performance in Emma (1996) received its share of praise. She was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress two years later for her performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998), in which her then-boyfriend Ben Affleck also appeared. She has since had a steady film career, with a few notable film roles, including Proof (2005) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
In an interview with The Guardian on 27 January 2006, Paltrow admitted that she divided her career into those movies she did for love, and those "shite" films she did for money. The Royal Tenenbaums, Proof and Sylvia went into the former category, whilst View From the Top and Shallow Hal were in the latter.
