She inherited her talent from her mother, American actress Blythe Danner, known for her role as Dinah Burns in the comedy Meet the Parents. Paltrow has always admired her mother and admitted that in the past, the woman had to sacrifice many roles to spend more time with Gwyneth and her brother.

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson was born in the family of the famous American actress Goldie Hawn and singer Bill Hudson. Soon her parents separated, and after a while Goldie began an affair with her colleague Kurt Russell.
