New York Times columnist at large Maureen Dowd was seemingly critical of Paltrow in an column titled, Harvey Weinstein, Hollywoods Oldest Horror Story, in which she wrote that the actress became the first lady of Miramax even after the time she alleged the Miramax co-founder had harassed her.
I cannot remain silent while Maureen Dowd disparages my daughter, Gwyneth Paltrow, for the manner in which she chose to handle Harvey Weinsteins attempt at a sexual encounter when she was 22, the 71-year-old actress wrote.
Gwyneth did not put aside her qualms to become the first lady of Miramax back then, as Ms. Dowd would have it. She continued to hold her own and insist that Mr. Weinstein treat her with respect, Danner continued.
She had learned from her father, the producer and director Bruce Paltrow, how to stand up for herself. Bruce received the first Diversity Award from the Directors Guild for helping women and minorities in our business. His daughter wasnt the only woman he taught to fight for herself.
I suggest that the pundits stop casting aspersions on the women who have confronted unwanted sexual advances in the manner each sees fit and concentrate on the constructive ways to prevent this behavior in the future, she wrote.

Like rushing to the support of Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey?????
You lead the charge, Blythe.
Maybe Gwinneth will follow your lead!
I most remember her from the Robert Duval movie, The Great Santini.

I AGREE, Everyone should be asking WHY DID YOU PROTECT THESE SEXUAL PREDATORS YOUR WHOLE LIFE?
She was the wife/mother in The Great Santini. I did not know that she was Gwynth’s mom, but I always thought she looked like someone else in movies. Now its obvious.
Yes I remember that one too.
Surprising, as all three are well-established now. I don't think Paltrow has the box office clout - or any box office clout - compared to the other two. But still.....
Okay. But her daughter named one of her kids Apple. 'Nuff said.
I love Blythe Danner but I don’t think she ever was the same after her marriage to Bull Meecham
Now that was a man
Btw
