In the 90s, Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder were inseparable, best mates and two of Hollywood's biggest stars.

Gwyneth was recognised for her roles in Sliding Doors, Seven and Emma, while Winona had made a name for herself with Beetlejuice, Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. Their lives seemed to parallel each other as they both dated best pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and were frequently seen at glamorous events together.

However, their friendship took a dramatic twist when Gwyneth was accused of 'pinching' a role from Winona after spotting the script at the Stranger Things star's house. The story goes that during a visit to Winona's San Francisco home, Gwyneth came across the script for Shakespeare in Love.

Allegedly, she fell in love with the upcoming film and it's said she contacted her agent to secure an audition for the lead role of Viola de Lesseps.

This ignited a huge row, as Winona had been earmarked for that part and was furious when her best friend was eventually cast in the 1998 film, according to the Mirror.
