The record

Compiled by the MrScandal desk from the documents below ยท Desk editor Laima ฤ’rkลกฤทe-Kreicberga ยท Nov 9, 2026

Gwyneth Paltrow's official record starts with awards. In 1999 she won the Academy Award for Actress in a Leading Role and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, both for Shakespeare in Love, which also won Best Picture. She was nominated for another Golden Globe in 2006 for Proof, and in 2011 won an Emmy as Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for playing Holly Holliday on Glee.

Her wellness company Goop has its own entry in the record. In September 2018 it agreed to pay $145,000 to settle a consumer protection case brought by 10 California prosecutors on the California Food, Drug and Medical Device Task Force over health claims for its Jade Egg, Rose Quartz Egg and Inner Judge Flower Essence Blend. Goop said it wanted to settle quickly and that there was an honest disagreement about the claims.

The ski case in Park City, Utah, began when Terry Sanderson sued her in 2019 over a 2016 collision at Deer Valley Resort, first seeking $3.1 million and later $300,000. On March 30, 2023, a jury found him solely at fault and awarded her the $1 she sought in a countersuit. The final judgment noted that Sanderson would not appeal, and both sides dropped the question of her legal fees.
