Gwyneth’s father died in 2002 and she says it changed the way she lived forever: “Everything got deeper after he died—work and personally. I had lost so much, and my perspective had changed so much, that I thought, I’m not going to live in this cautious way anymore. In work, or in any area of my life, I’m just going to make it count.”
