After
a role in the thriller Se7en in 1995, she began dating
Brad Pitt. They were engaged, but the engagement was soon
broken by her. They are still friends, but the relationship
took its toll on Gwyneth. "It really changed my life.
When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me.
My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be
the same." Gwyneth was invited to Brad's wedding
to Jennifer Aniston but she declined the invitation.
In 1998,
she took a role in "Shakespeare in Love",
a film that would confirm her as one of Hollywood's
best actresses. She would win an Oscar for the role.
Movieline magazine ranked Gwyneth as the most "stuck-up"
actress in Hollywood. But, she is still loved by fans
and critics. Her high-profile romances have continued,
with "Shakespeare" costar Ben Affleck.
