CELEBRITY BIOGRAPHER AMY ODELL KNOWS HOW TO PEN A PAGE-TURNER. HER LATEST SUBJECT? THE WILDLY WEALTHY ACTRESS WHO CONTINUES TO MAKE HEADLINES

Despite living her life unapologetically in the public eye, Gwyneth Paltrow is still considered a bit of an enigma – until now. Thanks to famed biographer Amy Odell, everything fans have ever wanted to know - or have confirmed or denied - is said to be in the pages of her new book, Gwyneth: The Biography.

From Paltrow’s relationships with “The Brads” – former fiancé Brad Pitt and current husband Brad Falchuk - to her turbulent and saucy relationship with Ben Affleck, plus her fallings-out with onetime pals Madonna and Winona Ryder, and, of course, her privileged upbringing (famous friends and fellow nepo babies included), Odell has left no stone unturned.

But, unlike the author's similar tome on magazine maven Anna Wintour, Paltrow reportedly “did not participate” and has not endorsed the eyeopening read.

Still, the Oscar winner-turned-lifestyle mogul “isn’t too bothered” by Odell’s book, despite its juicy and exposing content. “Gwyneth's been in the Hollywood game for a long time and so has a thick skin,” an insider told Us Weekly of the 52-year-old. “This book isn’t a big deal for her.”

After completing her Wintour biography, Odell said she wanted to explore the life of another woman who'd made an impact on modern culture. “Writing about Gwyneth was a fascinating experience from beginning to end - I was surprised by what my research revealed and I can’t wait to share it with readers,” shared the author, who conducted more than 220 exclusive interviews with Paltrow’s inner circle for the book. “The real Gwyneth - the basis of her motives, desires, strengths, faults and vulnerabilities - has never been fully revealed, until now.”
