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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Katharine, who died in 2006 aged 96, was the German mother of Gwyneth’s mother Blythe Danner.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/p>\n

Family contentment? Gwyneth Paltrow poses with grandmother Katharine Danner and mother Blythe at the premiere of Great Expectations in 1998<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Stunning viewers with a C-word outburst, Gwyneth and host Chelsea Handler were discussing their respective German grandmothers, whom they both called Mutti, the German for mother, when Gwyneth said: \u2018My Mutti was a real ****.\u2019<\/p>\n

The expletive was bleeped out but the actress could clearly be seen mouthing it.<\/p>\n

\"Shocking:<\/p>\n

Shocking: Gwyneth used the c-word to describe her grandmother during an appearance on the Chelsea Handler show<\/p>\n

\"Stunned:<\/p>\n

Stunned: Gwyneth appeared entirely unapologetic after her comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After Gwyneth made the comment, Chelsea began laughing and some of the audience cheered.<\/p>\n

Explaining the fractured relationship, Gwyneth said: \u2018She just hated my guts, basically. She tried to poison my mother against me but it didn\u2019t work because I have a great mother.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘She was just tough. You look back and you think she must not have been very happy and she must have had a lot of pain because she was as mean as hell.\u2019<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Gwyneth looked into her family tree on Who Do you Think You Are – the U.S. version of the hit British programme – and travelled to Barbados to find out about her heritage.<\/p>\n

\"Moved:<\/p>\n

Moved: Earlier this month, Gwyneth was seen tracing her family heritage on U.S. programme Who Do You Think You Are?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Looking<\/p>\n

Looking back: A picture of Gwyneth’s great great grandfather Simon, who was a rabbi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First she looked into her mother’s side of the family and stories that her great grandmother was born on the Caribbean island.<\/p>\n

But it turned out it was her great grandmother who was born there – and left for New York at 18 on a commercial boat with her sister in search for a better life.<\/p>\n

Gwyneth also looked into stories that her great-great-granddad Simon Paltrovich was a rabbi.<\/p>\n

She found out his father was also a rabbi – and according to a memorial book by Holocaust survivors from his Polish community, he had incredible powers.<\/p>\n
