Kate Winslet's Biography
Kate Winslet has been acting since she was 13 years old. She first appeared on the London stage in the role of Pandora in the hit musical "Adrian Mole", Wendy in "Peter Pan", Sarah in "A Game of Soldiers", and Geraldine in "What the Butler Saw". The latter performance earned her a Manchester Evening News Award for best supporting actress. Kate then moved to British television, where her most well known role was Eleanor Sweet in the series "Get Back". Kate's first film experience came as Juliet Hulme, an estranged teenager in the film "Heavenly Creatures." For her performance, she recieved numerous international accolades, and an award from New Zealand. More recently, Kate appeared in "Sense and Sensability", again recieving critical and commercial raves. For that role, she earned nominations from the Screen Actor's Guild, an Academy Award Nomination, and a Golden Globe nomination in the same category. In the movie "Jude", she again recieved acclaim as she portrayed the heart-rendering Sue Bridehead.
And finally: In 1997, Kate starred in the major American motion picture, Titanic opposite of Leonardo DiCaprio. Her performance was superb, her appearance awesome, and Titanic has already earned her a second Golden Globe nomination, and a second Academy Award nomination. Titanic came away from the Golden Globes with 5 awards including best picture, best director, and best original song. Also, Titanic moved recently into the highest grossing movie of all time, earning 300 million dollars in North American cinemas faster than any other film, and more that $1 billion worldwide. The number of tickets sold to Titanic in France actually triples its population. Titanic is to be released on video and DVD on September 1, 1998 (page creator's note: my birthday!!!).  Some expect the movie to gross another $500 million from video and DVD sales.  Also of note, Kate has recently starred in a movie titled Hideous Kinky, but I have no information about that project, since I am a stupid American.
