Blythe Danner

Blythe Danner couldn't be more proud to see her daughter Gwyneth Paltrow show off her musical talents in Country Strong - because she's spent years encouraging the Hollywood star to strut her stuff for the cameras.
 
The Oscar winner has won high praise for her role as an alcoholic country singer in the new film and she recently indulged in her love of musical acting by joining the cast of Glee, signing up for two episodes of the hit TV show.
 
And Meet the Fockers star Danner is overjoyed to finally see her little girl sing and dance in the public eye - because the veteran actress was convinced of Paltrow's talents from a very young age.
 
Danner says, "I've been wanting her to sing all these years and finally she is! We used to lie in bed and she'd scat to Sesame Street!"

Danner is back on the big screen later this month with Little Fockers, in which she reprises the role of Dina Byrnes.

She has already completed work on Pual and Detachment and is currently working in The Lucky One, which sees her star alongside Zac Efron.
