Revealed: The grandmother who prompted Gwyneth Paltrow’s shocking C-word outburst

dailymail.co.uk :    Smiling as they posed up next to each other, Gwyneth Paltrow and her grandmother Katharine Danner looked every inch the picture of family contentment at the premiere of Great Expectations in 1998.

But things were clearly not as happy below the surface, as Gwyneth proved earlier this week when she labelled Katharine a ‘****’ on a U.S. talk show Chelsea Lately.

Katharine, who died in 2006 aged 96, was the German mother of Gwyneth’s mother Blythe Danner.

Married to bank executive Harry Earl Danner, Katharine lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and became a housewife after raising her children – Blythe, Harry and Dottie.

She is believed to have followed the Quaker faith, as Blythe has previously spoken about being raised a Quaker and attending a Quaker secondary school.

However, just weeks after tracing her family tree in the U.S. version of Who Do You Think You Are?, Gwyneth revealed on showbusiness chat show Chelsea Lately that Katharine had been at the centre of a family feud before her death.
