The 1999 Power List  #89

Gwyneth Paltrow

Actress
Age: 27

 CREDITS
Best Actress Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love" sealed her rep as
a serious thespian--and gave her a third $100 million movie;
continues to smartly mix major productions (December's "The
Talented Mr. Ripley") with small-scale films (the upcoming
karaoke-bar comedy "Duets," directed by her dad, Bruce).

 DEBITS
A karaoke-bar comedy?

 FYI
Besides her near-perfect British accents, Paltrow can speak
decent Spanish, too.
