Gwyneth Kate Paltrow was born on September 27, 1972, in Los Angeles, California. After living in Los Angeles, Paltrow moved with her family to New York at age 11. As she grew up, Paltrow’s burgeoning beauty and developing acting talent began to win her small film roles, beginning with Shout and Hook in 1991. After a well-received spot opposite her mother on the television miniseries Cruel Doubt (1992), Paltrow won a string of roles in films like Malice (1993), co-starring Nicole Kidman(Nicole Kidman Height and Weight Stats) and Alec Baldwin, Flesh and Bone (1993), and Jefferson in Paris (1995).
