Kate Elizabeth Winslet (born 5 October 1975) is an English actress and occasional singer. She is noted for having played diverse characters over her career, but probably best-known for her critically acclaimed performances as Marianne Dash wood in Sense and Sensibility, Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic, Clementine Kruczynski in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sarah Pierce in Little Children, April Wheeler in Revolutionary Road, and Hanna Schmitz in The Reader.

As a testament to her talent, Kate Winslet is a record holder: She’s the youngest actress to score six Academy Award nominations, receiving her first for Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility (1995) and her latest for The Reader (2008).

Winslet’s heart-wrenching performance alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997’s megahit Titanic made her a worldwide star, of course, but her voluptuous figure has continued to steal headlines: The mother of two openly detests ultra-thin stars and spoke out against a 2003 GQ cover, where she had been digitally slimmed.

But at the end of the day, it has always been about Winslet’s astonishing talent: after winning two Golden Globes in 2009 for The Reader and Revolutionary Road (directed by her Oscar-winning husband Sam Mendes), she finally became a Best Actress Oscar winner for her role as a troubled woman with a Nazi past.
