From Newsweek:
Kate Winslet has made a career out of playing strong, confident, forthright women: Lee Miller, Mare Sheehan, Rose DeWitt Bukater, Clementine Kruczynski. Her resume is studded with awards recognition (an Academy Award for Best Actress for 2008’s The Reader, a pair of Emmys for playing the eponymous characters in HBO’s Mare of Easttown in 2021 and Mildred Pierce in 2011, an armful of BAFTAs across a 27-year span) and boasts cumulative box-office earnings in the billions (working with James Cameron on a couple of Avatar sequels and Titanic certainly helps there).
The native of Reading, England, is practiced at toggling between those large-scale productions with swollen budgets and smaller, independent fare. Her filmography is loaded with prestige literary adaptations—Sense and Sensibility (1995), Revolutionary Road (2008), The Reader, to name a few—as well as several daring originals, like 2004’s amnesiac-romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the first movie in which she appeared, the 1994 true crime tale Heavenly Creatures.
