For years, Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s career was closely tied with now-disgraced star producer Harvey Weinstein. \u201cPeople who I talked to observed that she seemed to have him wrapped around her finger, and he wanted to make her Miramax\u2019s Grace Kelly,\u201d Paltrow\u2019s biographer Amy Odell said in a new interview with <\/a>Vulture<\/a>. Odell\u2019s new book Gwyneth: The Biography pulls back the curtain on the pair\u2019s relationship, including a somewhat surprising anecdote about her Jane Austen film Emma.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Odell, Weinstein took a call from Paltrow after the 1996 Academy Award nominations were announced. \u201cGwyneth Paltrow got robbed,\u201d he repeated into the phone to the actor. \u201cGwyneth Paltrow got robbed.\u201d An excerpt from the book (via <\/a>Variety<\/a>) reads, \u201cMiramax staff who overheard the conversation didn\u2019t know what he was talking about. They had been focused on promoting The English Patient, nominated for 12 awards, and Sling Blade. They hadn\u2019t thought of Gwyneth as much of a contender for Emma. But the conversation made it seem like Weinstein had promised Gwyneth a nomination, and now he\u2019d failed her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paltrow didn\u2019t give Odell any access for the book, but the author reportedly drew from more than 200 interviews with people who know or have worked with the star. That includes some statements from Weinstein, who infamously did manage to get Paltrow an Oscar for Shakespeare In Love. \u201cI reached out to Harvey Weinstein\u2019s rep and he disputes Gwyneth\u2019s characterization of their relationship as abusive,\u201d Odell told Vulture, referencing how Paltrow came forward about Weinstein\u2019s behavior amid the burgeoning #MeToo movement. \u201cAccording to him, Gwyneth recommended Winona Ryder for Shakespeare in Love, although the director of the film, John Madden, said Gwyneth was the only person they wanted for Viola, so it doesn\u2019t sound like Winona was ever really that much in contention.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2017, Paltrow revealed<\/a> she had been sexually harassed by Weinstein; in return, her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt threatened the producer. Paltrow said that after the men\u2019s altercation, Weinstein called her to verbally berate her and threatened to fire her from Emma, the same film he\u2019d later claim should have earned her an Oscar nomination. Paltrow continued to work with his studio<\/a> Miramax for several years, though even then, she would publicly allude<\/a> to Weinstein\u2019s bullying behavior behind the scenes. But Weinstein denies that his own behavior was the reason their working relationship concluded. \u201cAccording to Harvey Weinstein through his rep, Gwyneth wanted her brother, Jake, to write and produce an adaptation of Donna Tartt\u2019s The Secret History. Weinstein had paid a lot of money to acquire those rights, and he ended up not going through with that project with her brother writing and directing,\u201d Odell explained to Vulture. \u201cHe said that contributed to a deterioration of their relationship, and he also said there was a financial element to it because his movies capped out at $25 million, and after she won her Oscar, she was earning $8 to $10 million. She was outpaced from working on indies, but she really thrived doing those movies.\u201d<\/p>\n
