Though her acting gigs are fewer and far between these days, Gwyneth Paltrow will also be remembered firstly as an A-plus actress, thanks to her starring roles in films like Shakespeare in Love and Emma. Of course, acting is hardly the only thing on her resume and these days, Paltrow is just as busy with her thriving business, Goop, as she is with keeping up her celebrity.
