Gwyneth Paltrow Born September 28, 1973, in Los Angeles, California, Gwyneth Paltrow is a highly skilled actress who is on her way to becoming a Hollywood super star. Gwyneth Paltrow was born into the entertainment business, her mother is actress Blythe Danner and her father is producer Bruce Paltrow. Gwyneth Paltrow and brother, Jake, spent most of their childhood in Los Angeles. When Gwyneth was 11, the family moved to Massachusetts where her father began working in summer stock productions in the Berkshires. It was here that she received her early acting training under the tutelage of her parents. She later enrolled at the Spence School where she graduated. Gwyneth Paltrow then returned to the west coast to enroll at the University of California in Santa Barbara to study Art History, but she realized that she lacked the commitment to her studies and withdrew.
