Gwyneth Paltrow was born to award-winning actress Blythe Danner and film director Bruce Paltrow in Los Angeles in 1972. She acted alongside her mother and, after some good reviews, quit her history of art degree. While driving to see Silence of the Lambs with Steven Spielberg he offered her the part of Wendy in Hook, and her film career was launched. Her finest hour to date was her performance as Shakespeare's muse in 1998's multi-award winning Shakespeare In Love and she is best known to some for her weepy acceptance speech on winning the Best Actress Oscar for her part in that film.
