Beware The Ides of March: Worst Celebrity Betrayals
Winona Ryder and Gwyneth Paltrow
Did she or didn’t she? While we might never know definitively if Gwyneth Paltrow stole the lead role in “Shakespeare in Love” from then-best friend Winona Ryder, it is still one of the most notorious rumors of celebrity betrayal out there. The story goes that Paltrow saw the script for “Shakespeare in Love” in Ryder’s home and swooped in, landed the role and ultimately won an Oscar for it. There’s missed opportunities and then there’s whatever Paltrow did. We can’t blame Ryder for not letting that little transgression go.
