Paltrow is no stranger to Hollywood; in fact, she’s like royalty. Her father was film producer and director Bruce Paltrow, and her mother is the esteemed actress Blythe Danner. Paltrow went to school in both L.A. and New York City before eventually pursuing a career in acting. While she didn’t risk much to follow her dreams, her talent and trademark classiness prove that she is her parents’ daughter.
