Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet Biography:
A worldwide star by her early twenties, Kate Winslet was born in Berkshire, England, on October 5, 1975, to a theatrical family. A performer since childhood, she won the lead in her first film, 1994's Heavenly Creatures, while working at a deli.
Next, she beat out more than 100 contenders for the role of Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility, resulting in her first Academy Award nomination. Winslet was on her way up, and she arrived spectacularly when she was cast as the rebellious debutante Rose in international box office champ Titanic (1997). A second Best Actress Oscar nomination made her the youngest actress to be twice nominated.
She made Oscar history again with her nomination for Iris (2001). In both Iris and Titanic, she and an older actress were nominated for playing the same character. Her more recent work includes Enigma and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
