Shakespeare in Love with Izzy Custodio (Chasing Gwyneth Paltrow: Episode 16)

Gwyneth Paltrow completed her 1998 five-film run with the period romantic dramedy Shakespeare in Love. She plays aspiring actress and Shakespeare muse Viola de Lesseps, a role which earned her her first (and, to date, only) Academy Award for Best Actress. We're joined by Be Kind Rewind host Izzy Custodio to talk about Gwyneth's most celebrated cinematic achievement, and the way this movie's aggressive Oscar campaign and Best Picture win may have unfairly tarnished it. Plus: Grace Kelly's Iron Man, Hamnet psychosis, and Billy Crystal making movie stars.
