Raised in
Berkshire, Winslet studied drama from childhood, and began her career in British television in 1991. She made her film debut in
Heavenly Creatures (1994), for which she received her first notable critical praise. She achieved recognition for her subsequent work in a supporting role in
Sense and Sensibility (1995) and for her leading role in
Titanic (1997), the highest grossing film for more than 12 years until 2010.
[edit]Early life
Born in Reading,
Berkshire, Winslet is the daughter of Sally Anne (née Bridges), a barmaid, and Roger John Winslet, a swimming pool contractor.
[2] Her parents were "jobbing actors", which led Winslet to comment that she "didn't have a privileged upbringing" and that their daily life was "very hand to mouth".
[3] Her maternal grandparents, Linda (née Plumb) and Archibald Oliver Bridges, founded and operated the Reading Repertory Theatre,
[3] and her uncle, Robert Bridges, appeared in the original
West End production of
Oliver!. Her sisters,
Beth and
Anna Winslet, are also
actresses.
[3][edit]1991–1997
In 1992, Winslet attended a
casting call for
Peter Jackson's
Heavenly Creatures in London. Winslet auditioned for the part of
Juliet Hulme, a teenager who assists in the murder of the mother of her best friend,
Pauline Parker (played by
Melanie Lynskey). She won the role over 175 other girls.
[7] The film included Winslet's singing debut, and her
a cappella version of "Sono Andati", an
aria from
La Bohème,
[8] was featured on the film's soundtrack.
[9] The film was released to favourable reviews in 1994 and won Jackson and partner
Fran Walsh a nomination for an
Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
[10] Winslet was awarded an
Empire Award and a
London Film Critics Circle Award for British Actress of the Year for her performance.
[11] The Washington Post writer
Desson Thomson commented: "As Juliet, Winslet is a bright-eyed ball of fire, lighting up every scene she’s in. She's offset perfectly by Lynskey, whose quietly smoldering Pauline completes the delicate, dangerous partnership."
[12] Speaking about her experience on a
film set as an absolute beginner, Winslet noted: "With
Heavenly Creatures, all I knew I had to do was completely become that person. In a way it was quite nice doing [the film] and not knowing a bloody thing."
[13]In 1996, Winslet starred in both
Jude and
Hamlet. In
Michael Winterbottom's
Jude, based on the Victorian novel
Jude the Obscure by
Thomas Hardy, she played Sue Bridehead, a young woman with suffragette leanings who falls in love with her cousin, played by
Christopher Eccleston. Acclaimed among critics, it was not a success at the box office, barely grossing
US$2 million ($2.8 million) worldwide.
[16][17] Richard Corliss of
Time magazine said "Winslet is worthy of [...] the camera's scrupulous adoration. She's perfect, a modernist ahead of her time [...] and
Jude is a handsome showcase for her gifts."
[18] Winslet played
Ophelia, Hamlet's drowned lover, in
Kenneth Branagh's all star-cast
film version of
William Shakespeare's
Hamlet. The film garnered largely positive reviews and earned Winslet her second
Empire Award.
[11][19]In mid-1996, Winslet began filming
James Cameron's
Titanic (1997), alongside
Leonardo DiCaprio.
[20] Cast as the sensitive seventeen-year-old
Rose DeWitt Bukater, a fictional first-class socialite who survives the 1912 sinking of the
RMS Titanic, Winslet's experience was emotionally demanding.
[21] "
Titanic was totally different and nothing could have prepared me for it. ... We were really scared about the whole adventure. ... Jim [Cameron] is a perfectionist, a real genius at making movies. But there was all this bad press before it came out, and that was really upsetting."
[21] Against expectations, the film went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time, grossing more than
US$1.843 billion ($2.6 billion) in box-office receipts worldwide,
[22] and transformed Winslet into a commercial movie star.
[23] Subsequently, she was nominated for most of the high-profile awards, winning a
European Film Award.
[11][24][edit]1998–2003
Shot prior to the release of
Titanic,
Hideous Kinky, a low-budget
hippie romance, was Winslet's sole film of 1998.
[25] Winslet had rejected offers to play the leading roles in
Shakespeare in Love (1998) and
Anna and the King (1999) in favour of the role of a young English mother named Julia who moves with her daughters from London to
Morocco hoping to start a new life.
[25][26] The film garnered generally mixed reviews and received only limited distribution,
[27] resulting in a worldwide gross of
US$5 million ($6.5 million).
[28] Despite the success of
Titanic, the next film Winslet opted to star in was
Holy Smoke! (1999), featuring
Harvey Keitel, another low-budget project—much to the chagrin of her agents, who felt "miserable" about her preference of
arthouse movies.
[13][21] Feeling pressured, Winslet has said she "never saw
Titanic as a springboard for bigger films or bigger pay cheques", knowing that "it could have been that, but would have destroyed [her]."
[29] The same year, she voiced Brigid in the
computer animated film
Faeries.
[30]In 2000, Winslet appeared in the
period piece Quills with
Geoffrey Rush and
Joaquin Phoenix, a film inspired by the life and work of the
Marquis de Sade. The actress served as somewhat of a "
patron saint" of the film for being the first big name to back it, accepting the role of a
chambermaid in the
asylum and the
courier of The Marquis' manuscripts to the underground publishers.
[31] Well-received by critics, the film garnered numerous accolades for Winslet, including nominations for
SAG and
Satellite Awards.
[11] The film was a modest arthouse success, averaging
US$27,709 ($35,004) per screen its debut weekend, and eventually grossing US$18 million ($22.7 million) internationally.
[32]In 2001's
Enigma, Winslet played a young woman who finds herself falling for a brilliant young
World War II code breaker, played by
Dougray Scott.
[33] It was her first
war film, and Winslet regarded "making
Enigma a brilliant experience" as she was five months pregnant at the time of the shoot, forcing some tricky camera work from the director
Michael Apted.
[33] Generally well-received,
[34]Winslet was awarded a
British Independent Film Award for her performance,
[11] and A. O. Scott of
The New York Times described Winslet as "more crush-worthy than ever."
[35] In the same year she appeared in
Richard Eyre's critically acclaimed film
Iris, portraying Irish novelist
Iris Murdoch. Winslet shared her role with
Judi Dench, with both actresses portraying Murdoch at different phases of her life.
[36] Subsequently, each of them was nominated for an
Academy Award the following year, earning Winslet her third nomination.
[11] Also in 2001, she voiced the character Belle in the animated motion picture
Christmas Carol: The Movie, based on the
Charles Dickens classic novel. For the film, Winslet recorded the song "
What If", which was released in November 2001 as a
single[37] with proceeds donated to two of Winslet's favourite charities, the
National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Sargeant Cancer Foundation for Children.
[37][38] A Europe-wide top ten hit, it reached number one in Austria, Belgium, and Ireland,
[39] number six on the
UK Singles Chart,
[40] and won the 2002
OGAE Song Contest.
[41][edit]2004–2006
Following
The Life of David Gale, Winslet appeared with
Jim Carrey in
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), a
neosurrealistic indie-drama by French director
Michel Gondry. In the film, she played the role of Clementine Kruczynski, a chatty, spontaneous and somewhat
neurotic woman, who decides to have all memories of her ex-boyfriend erased from her mind.
[45] The role was a departure from her previous roles, with Winslet revealing in an interview with
Variety that she was initially upended about her casting in the film: "This was not the type of thing I was being offered [...] I was just thrilled that there was something he had seen in me, in spite of the corsets, that he thought was going to work for Clementine.”
[46] The film was a critical and financial success.
[47] Winslet received rave reviews for her
Academy Award-nominated performance, which
Peter Travers of
Rolling Stone described as "electrifying and bruisingly vulnerable."
[48]Her final film in 2004 was
Finding Neverland. The story of the production focused on Scottish writer
J. M. Barrie (
Johnny Depp) and his platonic relationship with
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Winslet), whose sons inspired him to pen the classic play
Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. During promotion of the film, Winslet noted of her portrayal "It was very important for me in playing Sylvia that I was already a mother myself, because I don’t think I could have played that part if I didn’t know what it felt like to be a parent and have those responsibilities and that amount of love that you give to a child [...] and I've always got a baby somewhere, or both of them, all over my face."
[49] The film received favourable reviews and proved to be an international success, becoming Winslet's highest-grossing film since
Titanic with a total of $118 million worldwide.
[50][51]In 2005, Winslet appeared in an episode of BBC's comedy series
Extras as a satirical version of herself. While dressed as a nun, she was portrayed giving
phone sextips to the romantically challenged character of Maggie.
[52] Her performance in the episode led to her first nomination for an
Emmy Award.
[11] In
Romance & Cigarettes (2005), a
musical romantic comedy written and directed by
John Turturro, she played the character Tula, described by Winslet as "a slut, someone who’s essentially foulmouthed and has bad manners and really doesn’t know how to dress."
[53] Hand-picked by Turturro, who was impressed with her display of dancing ability in
Holy Smoke!, Winslet was praised for her performance,
[53] which included her interpretation of
Connie Francis's "Scapricciatiello (Do You Love Me Like You Kiss Me)".
[54] Derek Elley of
Variety wrote: "Onscreen less, but blessed with the showiest role, filthiest one-liners, [and] a perfect
Lancashire accent that's comical enough in the Gotham setting Winslet throws herself into the role with an infectious gusto."
[55]After declining an invitation to appear in
Woody Allen's film
Match Point (2005), Winslet stated that she wanted to be able to spend more time with her children.
[56]She began 2006 with
All the King's Men, featuring
Sean Penn and
Jude Law. Winslet played the role of Anne Stanton, the childhood sweetheart of Jack Burden (Law). The film was critically and financially unsuccessful.
[57][58] Todd McCarthy of
Variety summed it up as "overstuffed and fatally miscast [...] Absent any point of engagement to become involved in the characters, the film feels stillborn and is unlikely to stir public excitement, even in an election year."
[59]Winslet fared far better when she joined the cast of
Todd Field's
Little Children, playing Sarah Pierce, a bored homemaker who has a torrid affair with a married neighbour, played by
Patrick Wilson. Both her performance and the film received rave reviews;
A. O. Scott of
The New York Times wrote: "In too many recent movies intelligence is woefully undervalued, and it is this quality—even more than its considerable beauty—that distinguishes
Little Children from its peers. The result is a movie that is challenging, accessible and hard to stop thinking about. Ms. Winslet, as fine an actress as any working in movies today, registers every flicker of Sarah’s pride, self-doubt and desire, inspiring a mixture of recognition, pity and concern that amounts, by the end of the movie, to something like love. That Ms. Winslet is so lovable makes the deficit of love in Sarah’s life all the more painful."
[60] For her work in the film, she was honored with a Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year from BAFTA/LA, a Los Angeles-based offshoot of the
BAFTA Awards.
[61] and nominated for an
Academy Award for Best Actress, and at 31, became the youngest actress to ever garner five Oscar nominations.
[62]She followed
Little Children with a role in
Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy
The Holiday, also starring
Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, and
Jack Black. In it she played Iris, a British woman who temporarily
exchanges homes with an American woman (Diaz). Released to a mixed reception by critics,
[63] the film became Winslet's biggest commercial success in nine years, grossing more than
US$205 million worldwide.
[64] Also in 2006, Winslet provided her voice for several smaller projects. In the CG-animated
Flushed Away, she voiced Rita, a scavenging sewer rat who helps Roddy (
Hugh Jackman) escape from the city of Ratropolis and return to his luxurious
Kensington origins. A critical and commercial success, the film collected
US$177,665,672 at international box offices.
[65][edit]2007–present
Also released in late 2008, the film competed against Winslet's other project, a
film adaptation of
Bernhard Schlink's 1995 novel
The Reader, directed by
Stephen Daldry and featuring
Ralph Fiennes and
David Kross in supporting roles. Originally the first choice for her role, she was initially not able to take on the role due to a scheduling conflict with
Revolutionary Road, and
Nicole Kidman replaced her.
[69] A month after filming began, however, Kidman left the film due to her pregnancy before filming of her had begun, enabling Winslet to rejoin the film.
[69] Employing a German accent, Winslet portrayed a former
Nazi concentration camp guard who has an affair with a teenager (Kross) who, as an adult, witnesses her
war crimes trial.
[70] She later said the role was difficult for her, as she was naturally unable "to sympathise with an
SS guard."
[71] While the film garnered mixed reviews in general,
[72] Winslet received favorable reviews for her performance.
[72] The following year, she earned her sixth Academy Award nomination and went on to win the
Best Actress award, the
BAFTA Award for Best Actress, a
Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and a
Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
[11]Winslet is set to headline the
HBO miniseries
Mildred Pierce, a five-hour remake of the
1945 film of the same name, with production slated to begin in April 2010.
[73]She was cast in the
Steven Soderbergh disaster film,
Contagion which is scheduled to film in the fall of 2010.
[74][edit]Personal life
While on the set of
Dark Season, Winslet met actor-writer Stephen Tredre, with whom she had a nearly five-year relationship.
[20][75] He died of
bone cancer soon after Winslet completed filming
Titanic, causing her to miss the film's premiere in order to attend his funeral in London.
[75] She and
Titanic co-star
Leonardo DiCaprio have remained best friends since the filming.
[76]Winslet was later in a relationship with
Rufus Sewell,
[20] but on 22 November 1998 she married director
Jim Threapleton, whom she met while on the set of
Hideous Kinky.
[77] They have a daughter, Mia Honey, who was born on 12 October 2000 in London.
[77] Winslet and Threapleton divorced in 2001,
[78] Winslet began a relationship with
Sam Mendes, whom she married on 24 May 2003 on the island of
Anguilla in the Caribbean.
[77] Their son, Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes, was born on 22 December 2003 in New York City.
[77] Mendes and Winslet announced a separation in March 2010, stating, "The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement."
[79]Mendes and his production company, Neal Street Productions, purchased the film rights to the long-delayed biography of circus tiger tamer
Mabel Stark.
[80] The couple's spokesperson said, "It's a great story, they have had their eyes on it for a while. If they can get the script right, it would make a great film."
[80]The media have documented her weight fluctuations over the years.
[75][77] Winslet has been outspoken about her refusal to allow
Hollywood to dictate her weight.
[76][81] In February 2003,
British GQmagazine published photographs of Winslet which had been digitally altered to make her look dramatically thinner than she really was.
[77] Winslet issued a statement that the alterations were made without her consent, saying "I just didn't want people to think I was a hypocrite and that I'd suddenly lost 30 lbs. or whatever".
[82] GQ subsequently issued an apology.
[81] She won a libel suit in 2009 against British tabloid
The Daily Mail after it printed that she lied about her exercise regimen.
[83] Winslet said she had always expressed the opinion that women should be encouraged to accept their appearance with pride, and therefore "was particularly upset to be accused of lying about my exercise regimen, and felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise."
[83]Winslet and Mendes live in
Greenwich Village in New York City.
[84] They also own a Grade II-
listed five-bedroom house, set in 22 acres in the village of Church Westcote in
Gloucestershire, England.
[85]After purchasing the house for
£3 million, they have reportedly spent a further £1 million in renovations, as the house had fallen into disrepair after the death of its former owner, the equestrian artist
Raoul Millais in 1999.
[85]Mendes was scheduled to fly on
American Airlines Flight 77, which was hijacked on 11 September 2001 and subsequently crashed into the Pentagon.
[86] In October 2001, Winslet was seven hours into a London-Dallas flight with her daughter Mia when a passenger who claimed to be a
terrorist, later charged with creating mischief, stood up and shouted "We are all going to die."
[86] As a result of these incidents, Winslet and Mendes never fly together on the same aircraft, as they fear leaving their children parentless.
[86][edit]Awards and nominations
[edit]Academy Award nomination milestones
Winslet was 26 when she received her third Academy Award nomination, for
Iris, just missing the mark of
Natalie Wood, who received her third nomination at age 25.
[90] She set the mark as the youngest actor to receive five nominations, at age 31, for
Little Children (2006). She surpassed
Bette Davis, who was 33 when she received her fifth nomination for her performance in
The Little Foxes(1941).
[91] With her Best Actress nomination for
The Reader, Winslet became the youngest actor to receive six Oscar nominations. At age 33, Winslet passed the mark Davis, one year older, set with
Now, Voyager (1942).
[92]Winslet received Academy Award nominations as the younger versions of the characters played by fellow nominees
Gloria Stuart, as Rose, in
Titanic (1997)
[93] and
Judi Dench, as Iris Murdoch, in
Iris.
[94] These are the only instances of the younger and older versions of a character in the same film both yielding Academy Award nominations.
[93]When she was not nominated for her work in
Revolutionary Road, Winslet became only the second actress to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress (Drama) without getting an Oscar nomination for the same performance (
Shirley MacLaine was the first for
Madame Sousatzka [1988], and she won the Golden Globe in a three-way tie). Academy rules allow an actor to receive no more than one nomination in a given category; as the Academy nominating process determined that Winslet's work in
The Reader would be considered a lead performance—unlike the Golden Globes, which considered it a supporting performance—she could not also receive a Best Actress nomination for
Revolutionary Road.
