Gwyneth Paltrow Looks to Chekhov for Possible West End Return

Gwyneth Paltrow is considering a return to the West End stage in Chekhov's The Three Sisters reports Baz Bamigboye in his Daily Mail column. 

Sources close to the actress told Bamigboye that all was not set in stone regarding her making a West End stop, but talks had taken place 'Saying you'd love to do it and actually doing it are two different things. She'd love to do it, but we'll have to wait and see.'

There was also a suggestion that Gwyneth wouldn't be available to do the play because she was 'looking to extend her family' reveals the Dail Mail scribe. 

She and husband Chris Martin from Coldplay already have two children, Apple and Moses.

If the theatre deal does come off - and it is just informal talks at the moment - she would play, well, one of the famous siblings: Olga, Masha or Irina. To read the full article click here.

Oscar and Golden Globe-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow distinguished herself from the pack of rising young stars in the 1990s with surprisingly mature performances in "Se7en" (1995) and "Shakespeare in Love" (1998), for which she received countless awards and nominations. With her sharp intelligence and her fair, patrician looks, Paltrow carved out a steady niche in British period dramas like "Emma" (1996), but always kept audiences guessing with occasional comedies like "Shallow Hal" (2001) and richly drawn portraits of complex women, such as the fur-wearing eccentric sister in Wes Anderson's "Royal Tenenbaums" (2001) and "Proof," (2005), for which she was Golden Globe-nominated for reprising her acclaimed West End role as the troubled daughter of a late mathematics genius.
