Paltrow helped Madonna make up with dad

According to reports, Mrs Chris Martin Gwyneth Paltrow was instrumental in getting Madonna to end her feud with her father Tony Ciccone, begging the singer to reconcile with him before it was too late. Paltrow's father Bruce died in 2002 from throat cancer, and the actress has always regretted not spending more time with him before his death. A friend of Madonna, Cheryl Buchhalter, says: "Gwyneth had a heartfelt talk with Madonna about her agony over losing her dad Bruce."
