My Take
Gwyneth Paltrow interests me less as an actress than as a study in reinvention. Winning an Oscar at twenty-six should have defined her; instead she treated it as a first act, slipping into the Marvel machine as Pepper Potts and then walking away from acting's center to build a business empire. Her wellness company, Goop, has been criticized for promoting pseudoscience, and I share that skepticism, but the nerve required to trade prestige for ownership is rare among Oscar winners. Born into Hollywood through Blythe Danner and Bruce Paltrow, she could have coasted on pedigree; the fact that she kept gambling is exactly what keeps her fascinating.
