It’s time to celebrate Mrs. Winslet and show her how well deserved her Oscar win for Best Actress is. Here are 10 reasons to love her with or without all the awards.
10. She isn’t afraid to play a wide range of characters…
We have seen Winslet as a strong but confused young lady in “Titanic”, as a lost memory from her boyfriend’s head in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, as a wife and mother who wanted more than her ordinary life in “Revolutionary Road”, and as a lover who disappears only to be found years later on trail defending herself in “The Reader”.
I have seen the first three movies and plan to see them all being the Winslet fan that I am. Each one of her characters is someone we can relate to and I feel that Winslet gives you that opportunity through her passion for acting. Which of these movies or other movies of Winslet’s have you seen?

9. She doesn’t hog the spotlight…
Except for award season and movie premieres we don’t hear much about Winslet’s life or see her hogging the camera like Madonna or Paris Hilton. Winslet was married for three years to assistant director Jim Threapleton. The couple had a daughter in 2000 named Mia Honey. A few years after her divorce Winslet married director Sam Mendes; they have a son named Joe Alfie who was born in December of 2003. And instead of going to the premiere of Titanic in 1997, she was attending a funeral for her then boyfriend Stephen Tredre, who sadly died of bone cancer. What other interesting facts do you know about Winslet?
8. She’s not an air-brushed kind of girl…
Winslet has fought rumors and magazines about having weight issues and being air-brushed on certain covers. In 2007 she won a lawsuit against Grazia Magazine after they had announced that she was on a diet. And now there are rumors that her beautiful cover on Vanity Fair was air-brushed and that maybe Winslet isn’t really that sexy after all. However, Winslet fired back in Instyle magazine,
If I’m looking good at the moment, just let me look good already! Don’t have a go at me just because I’m not the fat person you always thought I was going to be,” Winslet said.
7. She keeps her family close…
Winslet and her husband Mendes are very much in love and you can see it in their eyes when they look at each other. He was so proud of her when she won her first Oscar for Best Actress last month. And though her daughter has another father, Winslet isn’t afraid of sharing both families. She still keeps in contact with Threapleton; who has been there to help her pick up their daughter Mia and her son Joe from school. It can be difficult for two families to blend, I know that myself coming from a divorced household. I think it’s great that Winslet makes it easier for her kids by including everyone in their day to day activities.

6. She always looks classy…
She may be one to show off some skin on film, but when it comes to movie premieres and award shows Winslet always stays classy. She is a sexy woman, wife, and mother. And she knows how to pull it all together in beautiful dresses from her blue Narciso Rodriguez gown at the SAG awards to her Yves St. Laurent gown at the Academy Awards. I have to say that the Rodriguez gown showed off every sexy curve of Winslet’s body, but the Laurent gown was definitely Oscar worthy.

Awe… Kate Winslet is so wonderful… Just the other day they showed Titanic on CBS. I couldn’t tear myself away from the screen the whole time, so captivating the movie was (and I thought I was through with it after I had seen it a dozen of times back in 1997)!
PS: It’s great to know that all those airbrushing rumors are false, among all the actresses she is the one who truly deserves to look good! :)
Thanks for the great read!
Thanks Olga! I def love hearing that she didn’t air-brush either. There is no reason for it with any celebrities. My fiance and I watched Titanic too the other night when it was on! I still knew most of the parts too! I said, “Right here Cal (Billy Zane)is going to flip the table over!”…and he did!
That’s funny :)) You must have a great memory! :)
I was watching it as if it was the first time … :|
I guess, I’d better start taking vitamins again :))
LOL! Usually I don’t remember stuff! My fiance and his daughters are always saying quotes from Disney movies and I’m like, “What??”…I guess it was just that great of a movie to remember…which it was! Have you seen “Revolutionary Road” or “The Reader” yet? I can’t wait to see “The Reader”!

Regarding interesting facts Diana, I found some and wanted to share them with you.
Did you know that Kate
found out that she got the role in Titanic when playing the straightjacket scene in Hamlet…
Kate said kissing Leonardo DiCaprio in “Titanic” was like kissing her own brother…
Kate fainted while shooting the bathtub scene in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and found out she is pregnant, with her 2nd child.
Every time Kate was on her period during the 9 month of shooting “Titanic”, she told the crew: “Alright, guys, we can shoot ‘Jaws’ now”…
I hoped you liked some of those facts..
I also love her cause she’s a family person. Those pics shows her bond with her children!
She always looks good even in some ordinary clothes. Guess who have class don’t need certain clothes for it.
Go Kate!!
