Summary

Happy Monday, everyone! Welcome to the third and final part of our series on Gwyneth Paltrow. By 2008, Gwyneth Paltrow had conquered Hollywood. Her next frontier - her wellness company, goop - would prove more controversial, and indeed successful, than everything before it combined. Big thanks to 20th Century Studios and ‘A Haunting in Venice’ for making this episode possible. To celebrate the release of the film we will be asking our community to share their very own whodunit stories for their chance to win tickets to a private screening here in Melbourne on the 14th of September. Keep your eyes peeled on our socials for a fun game called “Shamelessly Haunted.” This episode was researched by Eilish Gilligan and audio produced by Annabelle Lee.

0:39.4	Hello?
0:40.1	Hello, part three of three.
0:42.4	I know, we're nearly there. We're here now at part three so I guess we've basically made it.
0:48.1	Let's have a really quick chat about what we covered in episode two. We touched on the fact that the casual relationship between
0:55.7	Gweneth Pultro and Ben Affleck did fizzle out it kind of seemed to be a
1:00.5	non-event yeah they seemed pretty casual. That relationship ended just as she was gearing up to star in the 2001
1:10.0	hit Shello Hell. That movie did well commercially, but culturally it was

1:46.4	on her 30th birthday trip in Italy and he didn't make it home, which sounds like quite a traumatic story. Three weeks after her dad died,
1:56.8	she actually met Chris Martin, the then 25-year-old frontman of Coldplay. He wrote Fix You about Gwyneth's Grief, which we love. I love the song, I love the story.
2:08.8	I will never get over that. These two were renowned for being anti-partying, maybe a little boring, quite health conscious.
