Book Description

Love her or hate her, Gwyneth Paltrow has managed to stay on the A-list, her influence spanning entertainment, fashion, and the modern wellness industry. Paltrow was born to parents viewed as Hollywood royalty, and that immense privilege turned her into a target of backlash when, at just twenty-six, she won an Oscar. However, rather than crumble in the face of criticism, she leveraged the attention for valuable endorsement deals and film roles, eventually founding her controversial wellness and lifestyle company, Goop.Over the decades Paltrow has participated in countless carefully managed interviews, but the real Gwyneth Paltrow—the basis of her motives, desires, strengths, faults, and vulnerabilities—has never been fully revealed until now. Based on exclusive conversations with more than 220 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues, this deeply researched biography provides insight and behind-the-scenes details of her relationships, family, friendships, iconic films, and tenure as the CEO of Goop. Gwyneth: The Biography offers the fascinating, definitive look at how Paltrow rose to prominence, stayed in the limelight, and shaped culture for so long.
