Ms. Winslet
Meeting Ms. Winslet is a slightly disorienting experience. On the one hand, she is disarming, so instantly intimate, so easy and cozy. On the
other hand, she is so deadly serious about her job. Regularly described by directors and critics as one of the greatest actresses of
her generation, she has six Academy Award nominations (she won once, for
“The Reader”) and a reputation for being ultraprepared,
ultraprofessional, without vanity, uncannily intuitive and willing to
delve almost painfully deeply into her characters.
