Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow’s parents were successful in Hollywood as she was growing up. The daughter of actress Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow, Gwyneth also had a famous neighbor, Steven Spielberg, who gave her one of her first roles in the 1991 movie Hook. Paltrow told The New York Times that at 22, just after she landed the lead role in the Jane Austen adaptation Emma (1996) produced by Miramax, Weinstein invited her to his hotel room, where he asked her to give him a massage. She says she fled and told her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt, who allegedly confronted Weinstein. Weinstein apparently shrugged it off without incident, warning her to keep what had happened a secret.
