Early Career<\/h2>\r\nBorn on October 5, 1975, in Reading, England, Kate Elizabeth Winslet is the granddaughter of two theater managers (her maternal grandparents founded Reading Repertory Theatre) and the daughter of two actors. Winslet began acting as a child, making her first appearance on British television at age 7 in a cereal commercial. In 1988, she appeared on the TV series\u00a0Shrinks<\/em>; three years later, she left school to pursue her fledgling acting career.\r\n\r\nWinslet appeared on the British stage in productions such as\u00a0Adrian Mole<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Peter Pan,<\/em>\u00a0and had a recurring role on the British sitcom\u00a0Get Back,<\/em>\u00a0before landing her debut film role in\u00a0Heavenly Creatures<\/em>\u00a0(1994), directed by\u00a0Peter Jackson. In the film, Winslet played Juliet Hulme, a schoolgirl with tuberculosis whose obsessive friendship with a classmate leads the two girls to murder the classmate’s mother in order to avoid separation.\r\n\r\nWinslet attracted even more attention with her next role in Ang Lee’s film adaptation of the\u00a0Jane Austen\u00a0novel\u00a0Sense and Sensibility<\/em>\u00a0(1995). The actress proved she could hold her own across from screen legends such as Emma Thompson,\u00a0Hugh Grant\u00a0and\u00a0Alan Rickman. As the winsome Marianne Dashwood\u2014the “sensibility” of the movie\u2014Winslet earned an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress. The film also earned high praise from critics.\r\n\r\n<\/section>

Oscar Nomination for ‘Titanic’<\/h2>\r\nIn a similarly high-brow role, Winslet starred with Christopher Eccleston in\u00a0Jude<\/em>, a modern interpretation of the\u00a0Thomas Hardy\u00a0novel\u00a0Jude the Obscure<\/em>. She then appeared as Ophelia in Kenneth Branagh’s\u00a0Hamlet<\/em>\u00a0(1996), and landed squarely on the A-list of leading ladies with her performance as Rose DeWitt, the heroine of\u00a0James Cameron’s record-breaking blockbuster\u00a0Titanic<\/em>\u00a0(1997). The film won numerous Academy Awards, including best picture and best director, and scored Winslet her second Academy Award nomination, this time for best actress. Her co-star, Gloria Stuart, also earned a nod in the supporting actress category for her portrayal of the older Rose DeWitt; the two actresses became the first ever to earn nominations for playing two versions of the same character\r\n\r\nOn the heels of her first blockbuster hit, Winslet made two somewhat unlikely choices for her next projects:\u00a0Hideous Kinky<\/em>\u00a0(1999) and\u00a0Holy Smoke<\/em>\u00a0(1999). In\u00a0Hideous Kinky<\/em>, Winslet played a free-spirited single mother who brings her two daughters on a spiritual quest to Marrakech. For the Jane Campion-directed\u00a0Holy Smoke<\/em>, Winslet played Ruth Barron, a young woman who joins a religious cult. The film’s frank depiction of the sexual connection between Barron and PJ Waters (played by Harvey Keitel) displayed Winslet’s talent for portraying physical and emotional nudity onscreen.\r\n\r\nWinslet then returned to a period drama in 2000 with the film\u00a0Quills<\/em>, a movie about the French novelist\u00a0Marquis de Sade. In the movie, Winslet portrayed the laundress who helps the Marquis (Geoffrey Rush) smuggle his illicit writings out of an insane asylum during his commitment there.\r\n

More Accolades and Oscar Win<\/h2>\r\nIn 2001, Winslet lent her voice to the animated British feature\u00a0A Christmas Carol<\/em>. A song from the movie, “What If,” featured Winslet as the lead vocalist and became a Top 10 single in Britain. Her most notable film that year was\u00a0Iris<\/em>, a screenplay based on the John Bailey book\u00a0Elegy for Iris.<\/em>\u00a0Winslet played the young Iris Murdoch, an unconventional student.\u00a0Judi Dench\u00a0played the older Iris, whose husband (Jim Broadbent) tries to help her as she struggles with the growing effects of her Alzheimer’s disease. All three\u00a0Iris<\/em>\u00a0stars earned Academy Award nominations, making it the second time Winslet and a co-star both earned nominations for playing different versions of the same character.\r\n\r\nThat same year, Winslet co-starred as a code-breaker in the World War II-era spy drama\u00a0Enigma<\/em>\u00a0(2002). She also appeared as a reporter interviewing a death-row inmate in\u00a0The Life of David Gale<\/em>, co-starring\u00a0Kevin Spacey\u00a0and Laura Linney. In 2004, Winslet starred opposite\u00a0Jim Carrey\u00a0in Charlie Kaufman’s\u00a0Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/em>, which earned her another Academy Award nomination for her performance. She also co-starred with\u00a0Johnny Depp\u00a0in\u00a0Finding Neverland<\/em>\u00a0(2004), which explored\u00a0J.M. Barrie’s inspiration for his best-known work,\u00a0Peter Pan<\/em>. In the film, Winslet played the widowed mother of four boys whom Barrie befriended.\r\n\r\n\r\n
