<p>The Oscar-winning actress became one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to roles in films including Seven, Emma and Shakespeare In Love.</p>
<p>However, Paltrow said she was never overly ambitious in an industry which frowned upon women openly striving for the top.</p>

<p>Paltrow, who posed topless for Elle magazine’s annual Women In Hollywood issue, told the outlet: <em>“In the ’90s, when I was coming up, it was a very male-dominated field.</em></p>
<p><em>“You used to hear, ‘That actress is so ambitious,’ like it was a dirty word.”</em></p>
<p>Paltrow said her ambition has been “unleashed” thanks to her lifestyle brand Goop.</p>
<p>The 47-year-old had taken few acting roles to focus on the business, which she founded in 2008.</p>
<p>She recently made a return to the screen with Netflix series The Politician, which was co-created by her husband, TV producer Brad Falchuk.</p>
<p>She said Falchuk was “like a dog with a bone” convincing her to star in the show.</p>
<p>Paltrow revealed she said “no” when Falchuk first approached her to play Georgina, the mother of lead character Payton, played by Ben Platt.</p>
<p>She told her husband: <em>“You know there’s no way I can do it.”</em></p>
<p>Paltrow relented after Falchuk and The Politician co-creator Ryan Murphy refused to take no for an answer.</p>
