Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare In Love (1998)

Witty, romantic, sexy--and fictional--account of the Bard's early days stars Joseph Fiennes as the young playwright, struggling with a work he's planning to call "Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter." Inspiration and love come in the form of nobleman's daughter Gwyneth Paltrow, who, unknown to Shakespeare, is also appearing in male drag in his upcoming production. Geoffrey Rush and Judi Dench also star in this lively farce, which won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. 122 min.
