HOLLYWOOD star Gwyneth Paltrow, who won an Oscar for the hit Shakespeare in Love, has failed to win the hearts of North Yorkshire folk as she filmed her latest movie in the county.

Gwyneth is filming a blockbuster called Possession in several parts of the county.

And scenes filmed at Pickering railway station led to hundreds of passengers on the privately-run North York Moors Railway being shuttled by bus to Levisham to pick up their train across the moors to Goathland, where Heartbeat is filmed.

One visitor said: "I only came here to go on the railway, but there's a miserable looking Gwyneth Paltrow filming scenes at the station. I can't believe they aren't running trains from the station."

Another Pickering tourist said: "She looks really unhappy when they aren't filming and she's always surrounded by minders.

"A lot of people have been annoyed because of the traffic problems and having to go by bus across the moors. I've enjoyed watching Gwyneth on set, though I'm not sure about the film."

Producers brought in a steam train and carriages especially for the filming.

The film star has already shot scenes for the movie in Whitby and Ravenscar.

Neil LaBute is directing the film, which is an adaptation of AS Byatt's novel Possession.

The book, which earned its author the Booker Prize for fiction, is about a pair of literary sleuths who unearth the amorous secret of two Victorian poets, only to find themselves failing under a passionate spell.

Gwyneth plays the academic Professor Maud Bailey, who researches the work of poet Christabel LeMotte, played by Jennifer Ehle.

Gwyneth's opposite number is Aaron Eckhart, who plays an American scholar
