(26,325 posts)24. Yeah, she made it on her own.
Purely coincidence that her film debut was with Director Stephen Spielberg who just happened to be her Godfather. And her TV debut was directed by her father.
Pure coincidence!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwyneth_Paltrow
Her godfather is director Steven Spielberg.[25][26][27]
Her acting debut was in High (1989), a TV film her father directed, and after spending several summers watching her mother perform at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts, Paltrow made her professional stage debut there in 1990.[34] Her film debut followed with the musical romance film Shout (1991), starring John Travolta, and she was cast by Steven Spielberg in the commercially successful adventure feature Hook (1991) as the young Wendy Darling.[34] Paltrow's next roles were in the made-for-television movies Cruel Doubt (1992) and Deadly Relations (1993). Her first plum feature film role was in the noir drama Flesh and Bone (1993) as the much-younger girlfriend of James Caan. Janet Maslin of The New York Times described Paltrow as a scene-stealer "who is Blythe Danner's daughter and has her mother's way of making a camera fall in love with her."[35] In 1995, she starred in the thriller Se7en, as the wife of a young detective (Brad Pitt), who is partnered with the retiring William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and soon tasked with tracking down a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as tropes in his murders. The seventh-highest-grossing film of the year,[36] Seven also earned her a Satellite Award nomination. She appeared in Moonlight and Valentino, as a grieving chain-smoker, and in Jefferson in Paris, portraying Martha Jefferson Randolph.[37][38]

Fueling people's delusions of "feeling better" has been a grifter stock in trade

How can you tell the women that buy the jade eggs that what they experience is not real.

So basically you have no problem with people being scammed, not even respecting them enough...

I like Buttigieg but she engages in intellectual dishonesty and exploitative marketing
