Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has lived the life of a Hollywood princess. Since 1991, Paltrow has appeared in 20 films - including Shakespeare in Love, Great Expectations, Emma, Sliding Doors, and The Talented Mr. Ripley - and has become the undisputed queen of the "A" list of independent actresses. Despite all these credits and accompanying accolades, Gwyneth is more famous for her off-screen love life than her on-screen performances. No doubt because she was (literally) raised on movie sets, Paltrow tends to remain aloof around both fans and the media. But as this book reveals, behind Gwyneth's cool blonde reserve lies a complex, intelligent, ambitious woman who has positioned herself to be in the forefront of Hollywood happenings well into the next millennium.
