Gwyneth Paltrow (born September 27, 1972)
is an American actress, singer, and food writer. She made her
acting debut on stage in 1990 and started appearing in films in
1991. After appearing in several films throughout the decade,
Paltrow gained early notice for her work in films such as Seven
(1995) and Emma (1996) (in which she played the title role).
Following the films Sliding Doors (1998) and A Perfect Murder
(1998), Paltrow garnered worldwide recognition through her
performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998), for which she won an
Academy Award for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award and two
Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Lead Actress and as
a member of the Outstanding Cast. She also won an Emmy Award for
Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011 for her
role as Holly Holliday on the Fox hit TV show Glee in the
episode "The Substitute". In April 2013, Gwyneth was named "Most
Beautiful Woman" by People Magazine. Paltrow was born in Los
Angeles, California, and is the daughter of actress Blythe
Danner and the late film producer/director Bruce Paltrow.
Paltrow's first role as the central lead was the title role in
Emma (1996), for which she received critical acclaim. She had
leading roles in several films throughout 1998, including
Sliding Doors and the adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel
Great Expectations with Ethan Hawke, Robert De Niro, Anne
Bancroft and Chris Cooper. She also appeared in two thrillers,
Hush opposite Jessica Lange and A Perfect Murder inspired by
Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film, Dial M for Murder. Paltrow
appeared opposite Michael Douglas as Emily Taylor, based on
Grace Kelly's character from the original film, though the film
was met with mixed reviews. In 2008, she appeared in the
superhero film Iron Man as Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's personal
assistant, closest friend, and budding love interest.[39] Iron
Man was Paltrow's highest-grossing film to date, earning more
than $585,000,000 worldwide, until she reprised her role as
Potts in Joss Whedon's 2012 epic, The Avengers, which grossed
more than $1 billion worldwide. Paltrow said she was hesitant
to appear in a big-budget project but she was won over by Robert
Downey, Jr., the film's lead, and director Jon Favreau.
Paltrow's 1990s run is unusually clean as a career arc: stage debut in 1990, film work from 1991, the title role in Emma in 1996, then three films in 1998 — Sliding Doors, A Perfect Murder and the adaptation of Great Expectations with Ethan Hawke, Robert De Niro, Anne Bancroft and Chris Cooper — capped by Shakespeare in Love, which brought the Academy Award, the Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild Awards in a single season. The Emmy for Glee in 2011 and the People Magazine 'Most Beautiful Woman' naming in April 2013 extended the same public profile into television and magazine covers.
The second half of the career is the commercial one: Iron Man (2008) as Pepper Potts, at more than $585,000,000 her highest-grossing film to that point, then The Avengers (2012) at more than $1 billion. Paltrow said she was hesitant to appear in a big-budget project but was won over by Robert Downey, Jr. and director Jon Favreau — a hesitation worth noting, since the role became her most widely seen screen image.
