Kate Winslet was absolutely fantastic in Mare of Eastown. One of the best things I've seen on TV

LargeglassofRosePlease · 11/12/2022 20:40

Superb actress.

I like her a lot.

HermioneKipper · 11/12/2022 20:40

Love her. She’s a brilliant actress and always good value in an interview - looks like she’d be great company

sorrynotathome · 11/12/2022 20:40

I don’t need to know gossip about her. She’s a brilliant actress. Absolutely loved her in Mare of Easttown.

LargeglassofRosePlease · 11/12/2022 20:41

She was great in The Reader as well.

Awesome.

Badger1970 · 11/12/2022 20:42

She's a great actress but I thought she was very up her own arse on Graham Norton.

Waitingforsomethingtostart · 11/12/2022 20:43

I don't know much about her. I did read she asked to keep in less than complimentary scenes in "Mare of Easttown", because she looked like what her character was... a woman in her 40s. I would probably like to meet her, but she has this way about her that I like, I don't think she panders much to people so why would she want to spend time with me, a woman she doesn't know? I like that though!

@704703hey That’s the thing, I was just thinking I don’t know much about her at all, just curious what type of person she is.
Did she really save her from a fire 🙈

I had to Google that to make sure I wasn't misremembering things, but apparently so, rescued Branson's mother from a house fire on Necker Island.

She seems like a nice person but I don't know her! I only really remember her acting from Titanic tbh. Remember her saying she fought very hard to get the role.

What's your interest in her?

PaperLanterns · 11/12/2022 20:43

Top of my woman crush list.

VladmirsPoutine · 11/12/2022 20:43

Given her level of success in Hollywood she comes across quite down to earth and not too lost in the sauce. Just my observation from watching her on Graham's show. For some reason though it seemed Nadia was doing her best to shrink herself Confused

Absolutely superb. The very last scene, welling up just thinking about it. She was amazing.

Breakfastfortea · 11/12/2022 20:45

@VladmirsPoutine Nadia who?

Nothingandnowhere · 11/12/2022 20:45

Heard her on Womans hour recently and thought she sounded very switched on

VladmirsPoutine · 11/12/2022 20:46

The one who won Bake off. I think Nadia Hussein.

She is my doppelgänger Smile

Love Kate Winslett. She is a great actress.

DashboardConfessional · 11/12/2022 20:57

I rather suspect Katie Price and Kerry Katona's choice of men (numbers 2 and 3 for both were clearly after their money) is as much responsible for the tabloid coverage. Mark Croft was arrested for running a cannabis farm and Alex Reid described the marriage as "his prostitute years".

Me too. At least I used to get told that a lot.

Not so much now. Actors definitely age better than mere mortals.

rebekahnorris · 11/12/2022 20:58

I love that she had pie and mash in a little pub when she had her first wedding which was at the time she was really famous I think not long after titanic. Was she also in contagion? Sorry if I'm wrong with this one but I remember liking her in this film.

cyrila · 11/12/2022 20:59

Good actress but find her an unbearable luvvie.

AreOttersJustWetCats · 11/12/2022 20:59

She's a massive talent, amazing actress.

PinsetAndTwirls · 11/12/2022 21:01

Agree that she's an unbearable luvvie. I have never rated her acting, though I haven't seen her in anything for ages so she might have improved. My recollection of her back in the day was that she was extremely vulgar.
