Bruce Paltrow, who produced and directed The White Shadow and St. Elsewhere, died this week. St. Elsewhere especially is considered a forerunner for all kinds of episodic TV that came after it. I think his widow, Blythe Danner, and the rest of us should be a little ticked off that he is primarily known, both in death and life, as Gwyneth’s dad. Better his death not be mentioned on Entertainment Tonight (!) at all, than under the headline, “Gwyneth’s Dad Dies.”
Even if I didn’t think she’s a marginally-talented actress with inexplicable fame, I would still think this is a shoddy way to treat an accomplished and talented man’s life.
i like g p never heard of her dad how are you?
