The Who What Wear Podcast: Author Amy Odell on Chronicling the Life of Gwyneth Paltrow, From '90s Fashion Icon to Wellness Mogul, in Gwyneth: The Biography

Three years after authoring the incredible biography of Anna Wintour, fashion and culture journalist Amy Odell returns to the pod to discuss her newly released biography of actress and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow. Through hundreds of interviews and countless hours of archival research, Odell chronicles Paltrow's life of cultural influence—from '90s fashion icon to polarizing wellness mogul. She tells us who she talked to in order to paint a full picture of a public figure who's been in the spotlight for three decades. Plus, she reveals what she would have asked Gwyneth if she'd gotten the chance to speak with her for the book. Order a copy of Odell's book here! Shop our editor's eBay picks here!
