Gwyneth Paltrow Talks About Her Unusual September 11th Moment
Gwyneth talks about a moment she remembers from September 11th, where she unintentionally delayed a woman in the street. This led to the woman missing her train and not making it to work at the World Trade Center.
Gwyneth says, "A girl was jaywalking across the street and we kind of both stopped at the same time and then waited a really long time and then thought the other one was going so we both went and stopped. We did this sort of stop-start thing that lasted for quite a while and then we just started laughing. The she went on her way and I went on my way."
"Ten years later I got a letter from saying that she had been late for work - and we had that thing - and she went down to the Christopher Street station to catch her train to go down to the World Train Center where she worked on the 77th floor of the south tower... and the train was just pulling out. Had we not had that interaction she feels like her life would have a taken a much differnet course."
Gwyneth says the woman called it her Sliding Doors, relating it to a film with a parallel universe plot that Gwyneth starred in. Take a look:
