Early life and education

Paltrow was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and film producer/director Bruce Paltrow. Her father was Jewish and her mother is from a Christian background, and Paltrow was raised with "both Jewish and Christian holidays" (her brother had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony). Her father's Ashkenazi family immigrated from Belarus and Poland, while her mother has Pennsylvania Dutch (German), and some white Barbadian (English), ancestry. Paltrow's paternal great-great-grandfather, whose surname was "Paltrowicz," was a rabbi in Nowogród, Poland. Paltrow has a younger brother, director and screenwriter Jake Paltrow, and is a half-cousin of actress Katherine Moennig (through her mother), and a second cousin of former U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-08) (through her father). Her uncle is opera singer and actor Harry Danner.

Famous quotes by Gwyneth Paltrow:

"It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same."
"Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick."
"People have become inappropriate. People have pushed too far. People have climbed one too many fences. I'm just tired of it."
"It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that."
"My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive."
"I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married."
"I don't get Robbie Williams. I think he seems rude and he's always getting his knickers off."
"I don't really understand the concept of having a career, or what agents mean when they say they're building one for you. I just do things I think will be interesting and that have integrity. I hate those tacky, pointless, big, fluffy, unimportant movies."
"I have a sort of sisterly feeling toward him [Ben Affleck]. I want him to do well and grow up and be a happy person and a fully realized man."
"I'm totally a daddy's girl."
"I have a very highly developed sense of denial."
"My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much."
"I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique."
"I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I'm prepping for something or I've been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks."
"I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness."
"I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do."
"I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely."
"I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom."
"In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film."
"I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place."

Bette Davis Eyes

by: Gwyneth Paltrow

Her hair is hollow gold
I left a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold,
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you,
You won't have to think twice,
She's pure as new york snow,
She's got bette davis eyes
And she'll tease you,
She'll unleash you,
All of her time
Just to please you,
She's prococious
And she knows just what it takes to make a problem
She's got bette doubles in her side
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll let you take her home
And waste her appetite
She'll let you on her phone
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you,
Roll you like you were dice,
Until you come uot blue,
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she slows you
Off her feet
With the clothes
She throws you
She's furocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a problem
All the boys think she's a star
She's got bette davis eyes
And she'll tease you,
She'll unleash you,
All of her time
Just to please you,
She's prococious
And she knows just what it takes to make a problem
All the boys think she's a star
She's got bette davis eyes
And she'll tease you
She'll unleash you,
Just to please you
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she slows you
And she knows you
She's got bette davis eyes
She's got bette davis eyes
