Always brutal to work with, she actually was sort of humble in that long running cable show where she starred for a number of seasons.

Back in the day this actress was A+ list. She accomplished all of this while being in her teens. Yes, it was that period of time where the biggest movie stars in the world all seemed to be in their teens or early 20’s. All of you know her. Every single last one of you. For years and years there is no way she would have let herself do television. She was far too good for that. Then, when you run out of money and your fame only gets you so many gigs, you start to change your mind. Always brutal to work with, she actually was sort of humble in that long running cable show where she starred for a number of seasons.

Even Gwyneth Paltrow understands this. Sometimes it’s impossible.

Two women at different stages of their career, both were recently promoting books, both behaved like assholes. She was the young blush of her time, muse to an icon, dream girl to a generation. So it wasn’t a surprise when over 200 people showed up to a book signing. Here’s what *should* happen at a book signing: you stay and sign books. Many best selling authors stay as long as they can, for hours, making sure they have a personal interaction with each and every reader, often posing for photos. Even Gwyneth Paltrow understands this. Sometimes it’s impossible. Like JK Rowling often has 3 or 4 thousand people showing up so what she’ll do is she’ll sign hundreds of boxes in advance and on the day of, she’ll commit to a couple of hours, sometimes more, to hang out with as many of her fans as possible. But this woman? When this woman saw that 200 people were waiting for her, she scowled.

It is amazing to see how one film and what happened on the set derailed the careers of actors

It was supposed to be the movie that cemented them as a couple and move them forward from the roles they had been playing. Instead, it was the end for all practical purposes of their careers. When the movie wrapped they both went their separate ways. When it first started, everything was great. The A list couple were excited to be filming together in the kind of movie they thought would bring them awards and acclaim and vault them into a level of acting they hadn't been able to reach with previous roles.
