The Famous Parents Behind A-List Celebrities

Gwyneth Paltrow: Mother is Blythe Danner

Actor/entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow has been in the game for quite sometime. Dating back to when she was a teenager, she has acted alongside some real heavyweights in the business. Her performance in Shakespeare in Love ultimately won her an Oscar. Her career has been uber-successful — which could be traced back to mother Blythe Danner.

Younger audiences might know her as Robert De Niro’s wife in the Meet The Parents franchise. However, Blythe has won two Emmy Awards and a Tony Award during her career (which has spanned over 50 years). Husband Bruce Paltrow was also involved in the business — completing a fully cycle of Paltrows who crushed it in the film industry.
