t’s hard to imagine a time when Kate Winslet wasn’t on our screens. The 47-year-old first wowed film fans and critics alike when she appeared in the dark drama Heavenly Creatures aged 19. And just three years later she became one of the most famous women in the world after starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the global smash-hit blockbuster Titanic.
She bagged an Oscar nomination for Sense And Sensibility at 20 and has had five more since – picking up the coveted award for The Reader in 2008. Away from the silver screen, the Reading-born star has proved a hit in TV shows Mildred Pierce and Mare Of Easttown, for which she won well-deserved Emmys.
