#18: Gwyneth Paltrow
When it comes to the entertainment industry, many people seem to think that if you just work hard, then your hard work will eventually pay off. And whilst that might be true for some, the vast majority of people that make it in Hollywood have gotten there with the help of someone they know.
And when your mother is actress Blythe Danner, your father is film producer/director, and your godfather is director Steven Spielberg, then chances are you will make it in the big time. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow comes from a long line of Hollywood greats and has even become aware of her privilege stating, “I really do feel that once your foot is in the door, which you unfairly got in, then you have to work almost twice as hard.”
