Recap

 
Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow is one of America's leading movies stars who's appeared in dozens of films, including the recent hit "Country Strong." Nowadays, Gwyneth splits her time between London and New York with her husband, musician Chris Martin of Coldplay, and their two daughters. Gwyneth comes from a family with deep roots in the entertainment business. Her mom is actress Blythe Danner, and her father, the self-proclaimed love of her life until his death in 2002, was producer/director Bruce Paltrow. The two sides of the Paltrow family couldn't be more different: Blythe is a half-German WASP with some kind of Pennsylvania Dutch roots, and Bruce is of Eastern European Jewish lineage. Gwyneth thinks it's a classic American story of different backgrounds coming together. Still, it's hard to know which of the family stories are fact and which are fiction - and how the two combine.
