KATE WINSLET IS AUTHENTIC
Kate Winslet could have cruised on easy roles after Titanic.
The film ran fifteen straight weeks as box office #1, a feat not accomplished since E.T. was released 15 years earlier.
She could have taken any big-budget role, yet her next project was the virtually unseen Hideous Kinky (1998), a low-budget indie about an English woman who, dissatisfied with her life, flees to Morocco with her young children. Trailer here.
She reflected on that period in her life:
“I didn't want to fake it, and I didn't want to feel under pressure. And also, I didn't want to fail. I wanted to be in a position where I could always say I'm an actress, to be 45 years old, as I am today… not to have experienced burnout and not to have given bad performances.”
