Show Notes

When a celeb appears in court, it often means their reputation is under attack. But when Gwyneth Paltrow took to the stand over a ski collision with an Optometrist she came out of the trial more likeable than ever. How did Gwyneth Paltrow manage to garner so much sympathy and turn around the usual public perception of celebrities as unaccountable, entitled nihilists? Did her legal win define her as the classiest and savviest celeb on any ski slope? Stacey Dooley and Larry Dean analyse this interesting case.
