Later, she played the young Wendy
in Steven Speilberg's Hook. There is a
story that the Paltrow family were
standing in a cinema queue one night,
with a family friend, Steven Speilberg,
and that he casually asked if the 16
year old Gwyneth would like a part in
Hook.
In 1995 she starred with Brad Pitt
in Seven. Gwyneth and Brad fell in
love and their romance became news.
Everyone wanted to know more about
the beautiful couple. Brad and
Gwyneth got engaged and were going
to get married. However, the relation-
ship did not last. When Brad and
Gwyneth separated the media wanted
to know all the details. This was very
hard for Gwyneth and she was un-
happy with the attention from the
press.
Although Hollywood was courting
her, Gwyneth was keeping her dis-
tance. She wanted to choose her roles
and star in interesting films – she
turned down the leading part in The
Avengers and in Titanic. She also
chose to live in Greenwich Village,
New York, rather than near Holly-
wood, on the West coast. "Los Ange-
les just feels shallow to me', she says.
'It's all show business".
In 1996, Gwyneth started working
on the first of three British films. Her
first leading role was in the film,
Emma, based on a book by Jane Aus-
ten. She was cast in preference to
many other British actresses by the
producer, Harvey Weinstein. In 1998
she starred with John Hannah and
John Lynch in Sliding Doors, which
was one of the most successful films
of that year. And then this year her
role in Shakespeare in Love has made
her even more famous, and won her an
Oscar award for the best actress. "Har-
vey Weinstein is basically the reason
I'm turning into a British actress", says
Gwyneth.
For the last three years, Gwyneth
has spend 4 months each year shooting
movies in Britain.
"I have spent quite a bit of time in
England", she says. "I like it. I get it –
the way to live, the sense of humour. I
didn't when I first came. I thought, 'I'm
an American and we speak the same
language, it'll be the same'. But it's not.
You have just got to adapt".
Many people think that Gwyneth
now speaks English better than any
American actor before her. She is
good at listening and picks up lan-
guages quickly – she is fluent in
French and Spanish and is learning
Italian. For Jim Carter, who acted in
Shakespeare in Love, Gwyneth's ac-
cent is enchanting: "I like her English
accent more than her real one – when
she speaks English she sounds like a
princess", he says.
After the success of Shakespeare
in Love, Gwyneth's future as one of
Hollywood's brightest stars seems cer-
tain. Gwyneth sees the reason for her
success and fame modestly: "The parts

I've chosen just seemed like the right
ones to do at the time; there's not been
any game plan. I don't worry about
what I'm going to do next".
SEAN CONNERY
Not many men have been voted the
Sexiest man Alive at the age of sixty!
However, Sean Connery is an actor
who appeals to both men and women.
Everyone admires his charm and cha-
risma.
Sean Connery is very proud to be
Scottish and he often talks about his
love for Scotland. He was born in Ed-
inburgh on the 25th August 1930. He
came from a poor, working class fam-
ily. His father worked in a factory and
Sean left school when he was only
thirteen years old. At the age of fifteen
he joined the Royal Navy for three
years. When he left the navy he tried
many jobs. He worked as a labourer,
cement mixer, milkman and brick-
layer. He did not want to be an actor
but dreamed of being a football player.
He did not want to be an actor but
dreamed of being a football player. As
a hobby, he tried body building and
when he was in London competing in
a body building competition he audi-
tioned for a small part in a musical. He
won the part and his acting career be-
gan.
Sean worked very hard to improve
his acting. He took dancing and sing-
ing lessons. However, he did not be-
come famous until he got the chance
to play James Bond in the film Dr No
in 1962. He beat many other distin-
guished actors, including Cary Grant
and Rex Harrison, who also wanted to
play the suave secret service agent.
The producer of Dr No decided that
Sean Connery was the right person to
play James Bond when he watched
Sean walk down the street!
Following the success of the film
Dr No, Sean Connery was asked to
play in four James Bond films during
the Sixties – Goldfinger, From Russia
with Love, Thunderball and You Only
Live Twice. Many fans of James Bond
films think that he was the best James
Bond of all time.
Eventually, Sean grew tired of
playing James Bond and after making
the film, Diamonds are Forever in
1971, he vowed that he would 'never
again' make another James Bond film.
At the time, he was paid a record-
breaking salary of $1.25 million for
his part in the film. However, he
agreed to play James Bond once more
in 1983 and the producers called the
film Never Say Never Again. His fans
were delighted.
In the 1980s Sean Connery took on
different and more varied roles. He
won an Oscar for his role as a tough
Irish cop in The Untouchables, in
which he starred alongside Kevin
Costner. He also played Harrison
Ford's eccentric father in the popular
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
