While filming 'Country Strong,' Gwyneth Paltrow said she drew inspiration from musician Faith Hill. In particular, Paltrow was inspired by Hill's statuesque appearance, after discovering that many female country artists are actually quite small, she said on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC)."I don't think I could have done the movie without Faith," said Paltrow. "I relied so heavily on her through the process, because, when I was doing all my research, I saw that a lot of the country women superstars are very petite historically. And I thought, 'Well, I'm this gangly tall person. How am I going to work this out?'"
But, Paltrow was emboldened by Hill, who is 5'8" tall. "Faith is tall as well and she's so elegant on stage," she said. "And, so, she was kind of my inspiration in a lot of ways."
