As Gwyneth Paltrow stands trial for a ski hit-and-run, the Goop empress and daughter of Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Danner has re-entered the cultural conversation as a reminder of the unquestionable power, and absurdity, that movie stars once had. In the '90s, she was a luminous and effervescent princess of Hollywood, capable of casting a spell on audiences as William Shakespeare's muse, Jane Austen's feisty heroine, and even the everlasting star in the mind of a now jaded Peter Pan. Look back on the actor's exceptionally shiny past with some of her best roles.
