Gwyneth
is the daughter of noted film director Bruce Paltrow
and Tony award-winning actress Blythe Danner. She
lived in LA for most of her childhood, where she
first tried her hand at acting. When she turned
11, the family moved to Massachusetts so her father
could work in summer stock productions in the Berkshires.
In Massachusetts, Gwyneth recieved her first serious
acting role. She also spent time in the spanish
speaking town of Talavera de la Reina, and picked
up the language fluently. She attended the Spence
School in New York City, New York. In 1990, she
graduated and decided to go back home to the West
Coast for college. In 1991, she quit the University
of California and began to actively pursue a career
in acting. , she moved to California where she attended
the University of California in Santa Barbara, majoring
in Art History. She soon quit, realizing it was
not her passion.
After
a role in the thriller Se7en in 1995, she began
dating Brad Pitt. They were engaged, but the engagement
was soon broken by her. They are still friends,
but the relationship took its toll on Gwyneth. "It
really changed my life. When we split up, something
changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke
that day, and it will never be the same." Gwyneth
was invited to Brad's wedding to Jennifer Aniston
but she declined the invitation. In 1998, she took
a role in "Shakespeare in Love", a film that would
confirm her as one of Hollywood's best actresses.
She would win an Oscar for the role. Movieline magazine
ranked Gwyneth as the most "stuck-up" actress in
Hollywood. But, she is still loved by fans and critics.
Her high-profile romances have continued, with "Shakespeare"
costar Ben Affleck. |
