Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet

Birth Date: October 05, 1975
Birth Place: Reading, England

As a testament to her talent, Kate Winslet is a record holder: She's the youngest actress to earn five Academy Award nominations, receiving her first nod for Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility (1995) and her latest for Little Children (2007).

Winslet's heart-wrenching performance in 1997's megahit Titanic made her a household name, of course, but her voluptuous figure has continued to steal headlines: The mother of two openly detests ultra-thin stars, sued a magazine for claiming she saw a diet specialist, 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 the acting: Winslet can next be seen reteaming with Titanic costar Leonardo DiCaprio for the upcoming Revolutionary Road, directed by her Oscar-winning husband Sam Mendes.
