Gwyneth Kate Paltrow (born September 27, 1972) is an American actress, model, businesswoman, singer, and author. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

In 2008, Paltrow was cast in 'Iron Man' as Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's personal assistant, closest friend, and budding love interest. First hesitant to appear in a big-budget project, Paltrow asked Marvel to send her any comics they would consider relevant to her understanding of the character, whom she considered to be very smart, levelheaded, and grounded. She said she liked "the fact that there's a sexuality that's not blatant." The director Jon Favreau wanted Potts and Stark's relationship to be reminiscent of a 1940s screwball comedy, something which Paltrow considered to be fun in an "innocent yet sexy" way.

Paltrow reprised her role in the sequels "Iron Man 2" (2010) and "Iron Man 3" (2013). She also reprised the role in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) and "Avengers: Endgame" (2019).
