BLYTHE DANNER AND GWYNETH PALTROW

In today’s generation of actresses, a good number of them are daughters of former Hollywood stars. Gwyneth Paltrow is part of such a legacy; her mother is Blythe Danner, after all. Even so, it isn’t just her name that helped boost Gwyneth’s career. We have to applaud her acting chops and versatility as well. She can do comedies, serious dramas, and even musicals! In more recent years, Gwyneth is most known for her role as Pepper Potts, Tony Stark’s love interest in the Iron Man movies.

Meanwhile, Blythe Danner is still fairly active and is still winning awards—one such award is a Tony for her performance in Butterflies Are Free. Danner has worked on other projects over the years, including We Were the Mulvaneys, Another Woman, Alice, I’ll See You in My Dreams, and most recently, What They Had. Despite the fame they garnered for themselves, these actresses undoubtedly deserve credit for still being two of the industry’s humble and lovable stars.
