About this listen

This deeply researched and rigorously reported biography of Gwyneth Paltrow takes us inside the world of one of the most influential, aspirational, and polarizing celebrities of the last thirty years.

Love her or hate her, Gwyneth Paltrow has managed to stay on the A-list, her influence spanning entertainment, fashion and the wellness industry. Throughout her career, Paltrow has participated in countless carefully managed interviews, but the real Gwyneth—the basis of her motives, desires, strengths, faults and vulnerabilities—has never been fully revealed, until now.

Drawing from extensive conversations with more than 220 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues, Amy Odell provides insight and behind-the-scenes details of Paltrow's relationships, family, friendships, iconic films, and tenure as the CEO of Goop. Gwyneth is the definitive account of how Paltrow rose to prominence, has stayed in the limelight, and continues to shape culture—for better or worse.

Nothing to see here except Gwyneth’s in-born sense of entitlement. Not an interesting subject. Is it just me or does the author repeat quotes throughout?

This woman is not interesting enough for a bio

The available 'highs' possible in - as related here - the broad but shallow pool of a certain kind of modern human existence, are already so high and rolling through the global pop consciousness at such a rate, that they fail to carry aloft either subject matter, or listener interest. The effect instead is a flattening of both to a level requiring the Kiss of Life, especially the subject, whom is dispassionately and coldly observed, with neither affection nor human curiosity. No one component of her life, loves, losses, or endeavours, is brought into focus (except maybe an over-priced necklace from a particular red carpet ensemble) before the author tosses all back to drown in it's randomly rarefied gene pool of celeb² Nepo Plasma Soup.
