Dietrich's daughter: Paltrow too thin to play my mother

The daughter of screen legend Marlene Dietrich has slammed Gwyneth Paltrow for accepting the role of her mother in a forthcoming movie - insisting the star is "too thin".

Maria Riva believes the Sliding Doors star is a bad choice for the part because of her svelte shape, and is adamant skinny actresses wouldn't have succeeded in the Tinseltown of the past.
