But no. The hardest thing for Winslet was mastering the American accent. When she starts describing the emotional journey she hoped to make in the film, I stop listening completely, the way I would if a doctor were discussing the intricacies of removing a gallstone.
Which is probably why actors hang around together; they love this kind of talk, and who else could bear earnest discussions of rawness, sincerity, instinct and vulnerability?
Winslet is thoughtful and cagey, as though cooperating with a Senate panel. He was the producer, screen-writer and director in this thing, with studio executives breathing down his neck all of the time. But he was never mean to me.
Regarding the bathroom logistics of filming in a water tank, Winslet speaks only for herself. So, yeah, I peed. Winslet lights us cigarettes and settles in on distracting me with more messy details. You could see my bloomers underneath it. We called it the Bo Peep dress. Well, the water was so cold that my reaction was completely genuine. And I was the only woman down there. Here I was, surrounded by all these men on the crew, in all this freezing-cold water.
What did that mean for their genitals? Titanic wrapped in early April, and within a week Rosarito was a ghost town. Three years ago, Winslet bought a flat in London. Pick my feet.
Brush my teeth — I floss very rarely. With her mix of masochism and perfectionism, she revoiced the DiCaprio death scene lying on a flat board in the sound studio. In the fall she flew to Marrakech, Morocco, to begin shooting the drama Hideous Kinky. I spoke to him every day. Winslet and I are discussing Tredre at Starbucks when her throat seizes, and her eyes shimmer and go wet.
Stephen was such an extraordinary person. It was a song that he always loved me singing. It was so hard. So I sang, and the second I stopped I started to choke. Y ou know what I was saying to you the other day about not being recognizable? Winslet saw Titanic on Friday night, buying a ticket and sitting in the last row, behind a real audience for the first time. It made it seem completely worth it. She keeps interrupting herself — making a kind of irritated tsnt! We get up to leave. A table of high-school girls has been eavesdropping on Winslet.
As they hear Titanic and Leonardo mentioned, they grow more and more quiet. One of the girls — braces, zip-up sweat-shirt — stands. The girl takes a deep breath and smiles. Profiles end with the celebrity being reintroduced to her element, like slipping a fish back into the water. Winslet is meeting a car a few blocks away. Winslet is learning to catch and modulate what she says.
It occurs to me this may be the last non-star interview she gives, her final message before getting sucked down with that big, watery, glowing ship.
I ask whether she still keeps a diary. I was just sitting in the hotel on my own. And I realized where I was and how exciting it was to be sitting in the hotel room, on my own, with five minutes to myself. And I wanted to write that down. But Winslet was so in love with the Titanic script that she knew she had to be cast in the film.
A gorgeous hat, for a gorgeous woman. Happy NationalHatDay! And according to Rolling Stone , Winslet went out of her way to convince the director that she was perfect for the part. No two ways about it. Titanic is undoubtedly a tear-jerker of a movie. Winslet and DiCaprio were at the center of it all.
It must have been hard to deal with all the attention that came with being the stars of the greatest cinematic achievement of the last fifty years or so, yet both actors did it with class to spare. After Titanic , Winslet chose to focus on smaller, character-driven films.
She often played roles in period pieces. However, all that changed in , when Michel Gondry cast her against type in his romantic sci-fi Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Clementine is, arguably, Winslet's most accomplished screen performance. She's riveting and magnetic, a non-stopping tornado of color and emotion. The film itself is brilliant and daring, an unconventional portrayal of love and relationships. And Winslet delivers a fiercely committed and profoundly humane performance, playing a flawed and unapologetic character with irresistible intensity.
Some actors become synonyms with the roles they play. Winslet was able to avoid typecasting thanks to her versatility, but she remains closely associated with the character of Rose. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, Titanic elevated her into the major leagues and allowed her to be more experimental with her career. In the end, Rose is an asset for Winslet, not a liability.
It's a true testament to Winslet's talent that she's delivering a defining performance almost thirty years into her career.
Yet, it's utterly undeniable that she's providing a performance of a lifetime in Mare of Easttown. Winslet has always excelled in playing humane, flawed, sympathetic characters, but her performance in Mare truly stands out. In episode five alone, Winslet easily balances comedy and drama before becoming an action hero and commanding every minute of one of the tensest sequences in modern television.
Winslet has always been one of Hollywood's most accomplished performers, but Mare of Easttown confirms her spot as a true acting legend.
