Gwyneth Paltrow has made a moving tribute to her late father, Bruce Paltrow.

The Iron Man actress, 37, dedicated her latest Goop mailout to producer Bruce, who died in 2002.

She wrote: "I dedicate this Thanksgiving letter, on parental acceptance, to my father, who would have been 66 today."

She continued: "He was the greatest parent, friend, rabbi any girl could ever have asked for. Happy Birthday Bruce. And Happy Thanksgiving everybody."

Bruce produced numerous stage, TV and film productions, including 2000 film Duets in which Oscar-winner Gwyneth starred.

He died of cancer and pneumonia complications while in Rome celebrating his daughter's 30th birthday.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is said to have written the hit track Fix You in response to his wife Gwyneth losing her father.

Iron Man star and mother-of-two Gwyneth sends out weekly Goop mailouts in which she offers lifestyle and health tips.
