Gwyneth: The Biography

From Saturday Morning, 9:31 am on 23 August 2025

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the most influential, aspirational and polarising celebrities of the last thirty years: her influence spanning entertainment, fashion and wellness.    

After winning an Oscar at just twenty-six years old, Paltrow's immense privilege turned her into a target of backlash. She channeled that interest into valuable endorsement deals and film roles and eventually the founding of her controversial wellness company, Goop.  

She has participated in hundreds of carefully managed interviews, but the real Gwyneth - her unrelatability, privilege, motives, strengths and faults - has never been fully revealed until now. 

Bestselling author Amy Odell takes us inside her world with Gwyneth: The Biography.   

Based on in-depth conversations with more than 215 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues, this deeply researched biography provides insight and behind-the-scenes details of her relationships, family, friends, films and tenure as the CEO of Goop. Gwyneth offers a definitive look at how she got to where she is today and how she has managed to impact culture - for better and worse - for so long.
