Paltrow to take cut-price theatre role

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow is to perform in the West End later this year for a fraction of her usual fees - and will not even get top billing.

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow is to perform in London's West End later this year for a fraction of her usual fees - and will not even get top billing.

The Oscar-winner will be in a production called Proof at London’s esteemed Donmar Warehouse for a six-week run beginning in May.

But theatre policies, which frown on preferential treatment, mean she will be paid the same as other actors and will be merely billed alongside other performers alphabetically.
