At least Shatner can laugh at himself. He seems so much more approachable than Paltrow. Maybe it’s because he remembers the hard years in the 1970s when he traveled across the country from dinner theater to theater in a camper. He also lost his wife to drowning a few years back.
Paltrow is Hollywood aristocracy...and she acts like it.
No sympathy for him there... His 911 call makes him sound NOT like the guy you'd want to rescue you! "She's at the bottom of the pool!! HELP! HELP!" Sir, go in and get her" "You mean get her out of the pool? Dive down there? Get all wet??" (OK I am exaggerating but it kinds sounds like that)
To top it off, a few days after this drowning, I happened to see him in a deli on Pico early one morning, disheveled, with a lovely brunette (who became his girlfriend or wife), and they did not look like they were "mourning" much, shall we say.
