Gwyneth and Madonna’s memory lane
When Bruce Paltrow found out his daughter had taken up smoking, he asked his friend Leo Penn (father of actor Sean Penn) to ask his new daughter-in-law, Madonna, to write a letter telling Gwyneth it was uncool to smoke.
The two-sided missive started with “Dear Gwyneth, just to jot down my average day… I wake up, I don’t smoke.” concluding with: “Love, Me, Madonna. P.S.: Good girls live longer.”
Gwyneth placed it in a frame on the mantel in her room. Does Madonna remember this?
“She thinks it’s funny,” says Paltrow who is one of Madonna’ closest friends.
