Gwyneth Paltrow studied hours
of concert footage of stars like
Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton
to perfect her country music
character Kelly Canter in new
film Country Strong,
WENN reports
August 19th, 2010.
The Shakespeare in Love star
admits she stole little things from
a host of stars to create her singing
role in the new film –
and even added in a little Courtney
Love to give her Canter a little edge.
Paltrow reveals,
“I watched every DVD of
every country woman ever.
It was like school.
Loretta Lynn,
Dolly Parton –
she plays all bar chords
(on guitar) because she
has such long nails.”
But the actress reveals
Faith Hill was her leading
inspiration.
She tells Entertainment
Weekly magazine,
“Physically,
we’re very similar.
Obviously she’s much
prettier than I am,
but we’re the same type.”
“I latched on to Faith
in terms of physicality.
“I also wanted to bring an edgier,
Courtney Love-ish,
Shelby Lynne thing to it,
because I felt like my character
wishes she were Faith Hill,
but she is a little bit too punk rock.”
And Paltrow reveals her husband,
Coldplay star Chris Martin,
was a big help as she
prepared for the movie:
“He grew up with a lot of
Hank Williams and Johnny Cash.”
