An Oscar-winning American actress best known for her roles in films such as "Emma", "Shakespeare in Love", "Se7en" and "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", Gwyneth Paltrow's other film credits include "Hook", "Sliding Doors", "Great Expectations", "A Perfect Murder", "The Talented Mr. Ripley", "Shallow Hal", "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Sylvia."
As part of research for her role as an obese woman in Shallow Hal, Gwyneth wore the 200 pound latex "fat" suit she used for the film to a bar where people refused to make eye contact with her and treated her rudely. She then said that this experience made her saddened by the injustice faced by overweight people in society.
