These two days, a humble news item piqued my great interest, and the British actress Kate Winslet was photographed walking her dog with her eldest daughter, Mia, in Hampshire, England.
Kate, who is only 45 years old this year, the eldest daughter is 20 years old, and Mia is now also an actress, just released her debut film last year, Italian director Carlo Lavagna's psychological thriller film "Shadows", and participated in the Rome Film Festival.
A face with a story, like a mother
At the beginning of the epidemic, many friends around her turned out her starring Steven Soderbergh's 2011 god work "Infectious Disease", Kate played by Erin, a medical doctor who went to Minnesota, the most serious epidemic, and unfortunately died of an illness on the front line, and human beings are so vulnerable in the face of the cunning virus.
The film also broke a new record for the number of views on Netflix, but Kate exclaimed to Vanity Fair: "What is this doing, don't watch it, it's a horror movie!" ”
Few people know that Kate Winslet, nicknamed Fat Wen by fans, actually has three marriages, and the marriage with her first husband, director Jim Threapleton, lasted only 3 years, and Kate returned to singlehood in 2001 after giving birth to her daughter Mia; the second husband was sam Mendes, who was married for 9 years and gave birth to a second child, son Joe; and now the third businessman husband Edward Abel Smith, who was low-key in 2012 He gave birth to his third child, named Bear, and will turn 8 this year.
Career-oriented, after starring in james Cameron's "Titanic" in 1997, Kate Winslet was nominated for four Oscars at the age of 29, and she had already won all the post-film trophies. But since stepping into the entertainment industry, the outside world's malice and doubts about her have not been less: because of her strong figure, she was spat that "if she were thinner, she would be able to get on that floating board", and now her father who has been married three times and has three children is different, and she has not been sneered at by the tabloids.
The most powerful is her temperament, privately an ordinary middle-aged mother, but as soon as it is photographed, it shines brightly. And the scenery on the screen does not prevent her from plunging into ordinary life and slowly experiencing life, switching between female stars and ordinary women for many years, which is an epic of the growth of an extraordinary woman.
Born in 1975 into an ordinary family in Reading, Berkshire, England, Kate's grandparents were the owners of the Reading Town Repertory Theatre, her father Roger Winslet was a stage actress, and her mother, Sally Anne Bridges-Winslet, who made a living as a nanny and waiter, was the second of four children in the family.
His father's acting career was not very successful, and when Kate was ten years old, he was seriously injured in his foot due to a rowing accident, and he could take on fewer and fewer acting jobs, which made the family's financial situation more difficult.
Despite the tight ends of life, Kate later recalled that her parents always cared for each child from the bottom of their hearts, making them firmly believe that mom and dad were their strong backing.
Kate showed off her acting talent at a very young age. He performed on stage at the age of 5, was admitted to the local drama school at the age of 11, and often performed dramas when he was in school, but because of his chubby figure, he was rarely selected as the heroine, and he was not bullied by his classmates.
Kate was at the age of 17 and weighed 84 kilograms at one point, but even at her peak weight, she was a natural movie face.
Her first work was a children's cereal commercial at the age of 11, which led to her career in London audition.
The experience of being bullied because of obesity also gave Kate a strong psychological quality. In 1991, two weeks after completing her General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exam, she made her debut on the silver screen as one of the stars in the BBC science fiction drama Dark Season.
Kate is actually born red hair, didn't expect it?
Because she was still unknown at the time, Kate's income was dismal, and she had to leave the original brokerage company and work part-time in a delicatessen.
The first major breakthrough in her acting career came at the age of 17, when she played a paranoid teenage girl murderer in the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures, based on a true story directed by Peter Jackson of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which was only released on a small scale but received unanimous acclaim from critics and nominated for an Oscar for original screenplay.
Sigh, from harmless people and animals, to chuchu pitiful, to the original form, Kate is really a talented girl.
The following year, Kate auditioned for Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility (1995) and impressed the film's lead/screenwriter Emma Thompson, eventually beating over more than 100 other candidates for the role of Marianne Dashwood and receiving a British Academy Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Emma Thompson, who spent five years polishing the screenplay, won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and director Ang Lee won the Berlin Golden Bear.
That is to say, long before meeting Cameron, Kate was already a new generation of acting schools that were rising and could not hide their light.
But looking back at Fei Wen's acting career, she really should thank Ka Shen well. "Titanic" not only achieved great commercial success that year, but also received 14 nominations at the 70th Academy Awards, matching the record of the 1950 film "Comet Beauty", and won 11 awards, and also equaled the record of the most awards in 1959.
Titanic is also the world's first film to reach the $1 billion mark and has remained at the top of the global box office grossing charts for 12 years, plus the 3D version released in 2012, which has now accumulated at the box office of $2.18 billion.
Yu Kate herself, her delicate acting skills also received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, making her the youngest actress ever to receive two Oscar nominations.
At any time, after the actor becomes famous, the homogeneous script will come to the scene, Kate is not moved, 2 years after the release of "Titanic", she said to reporters: "A hit does not mean anything, if you do not have the ability to continue to learn, you simply do not have the courage to stay in Hollywood, let alone a long-term career." 」 “
She did what she said, pushing out Shakespeare's Love Story and Anna and the King just to star in the independent films Hideous Kinky (1998) and Holy Smoke (1999), a single mother who played a young single mother who took her daughter on a trip to Morocco in the 1970s, and a strange girl who was addicted to Indian culture and "seduced" the psychiatrist her parents invited.
Roles are always more important than pay.
She even pushed out princess Éowyn of The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers, and ended up starring Australian actress Miranda Otto.
The reason for staying so sober is not only the reverence for my profession, but also the humiliation I received in my early years because of my body: but at the age of 19, Kate told the Guardian: "The criticism of me by tabloid reporters is cruel and ridiculous, they will judge my body size, estimate my weight, and help me make diet plans, which is really annoying."
Obviously, it is very beautiful!
The late talk show actress Joan Rivers once joked in her performance: "If Rose can lose 5 pounds, Leo can climb on that board." "Frankly, many people have also issued such feelings back then, right? It was precisely this comment that made Kate wary of going to Hollywood for a time, "because I remember thinking, 'Oh my God, if that's what they said to me in the UK, what would happen if I got there?'"
Fortunately, the evaluation of the outside world has never been able to break her cognition of herself, and this frankness is also reflected in her mate selection criteria.
When "Titanic" was released, Kate married the unknown director Jim Threapleton, who was the assistant director of Kate's film "North African Lover" at the time, and gave birth to a daughter, Mia.
The marriage was only three years in high school, and looking back, Kate, who was already very restrained, used the term "mess" to describe it, "everything is out of control."
Shortly after her divorce in 2001, Kate met director Sam Mendes while auditioning, and Mendes was already internationally famous for his debut film American Beauty, winning the Academy Award for Best Director (at the age of 34). However, Kate did not accept the role and began a date with the director.
Sam Mendes' 1999 film American Beauty won the Academy Award for Best Director. In 2012, his work "007 Airborne Crisis" grossed more than $1.1 billion worldwide, followed by 2015's 007: Ghost Party, chairman of the jury at the 73rd Venice Film Festival in 2016, and a tony award-winning and Lawrence Oliver Award.
Exhausted by years of desperate pursuit by the British tabloids, Kate simply moved to New York, and after marriage, she lived back and forth between Britain and the United States.
This marriage of talented women is not only an emotional support for Kate, but also a career help, and the "Revolutionary Road" that the couple cooperated with is a cruel examination of married life.
By the way, "Life and Death Reading" and "Revolutionary Road" are actually the same year's works, the producer originally wanted to send "Life and Death Reading" to the best supporting actress, "Revolutionary Road" to run for best actress, but was beaten back by the academy, according to the Oscar rules, an actor can only get one nomination in one award. Kate ended up nominating only one "Life and Death Reading" and eventually won the cup.
But the marriage eventually ended in the man's infidelity, and in 2010, foreign media revealed that Mr. Des and actress Rebecca Hall had an affair, and the couple announced their separation in 2010 and formally divorced a year later. Kate has publicly acknowledged that the divorce broke her heart, but she said she was determined to take care of her children despite the breakdown of the marriage.
The affair was of course true, and mendes and Rebecca Hall broke up in 2013 after a three-year relationship, and Mendes remarried to a trumpet player named Alison Balsom.
By the way, Rebecca Hall's previous best-known role is Vicky, the widow's girlfriend in "Midnight in Barcelona", who is also the heroine of the current hit Godzilla vs King Kong, and the female scientist responsible for studying King Kong's behavior.
After divorcing Mendes, Kate had a brief relationship with model Louis Dowler.
Want the happiness of this rich woman!
In 2011, Kate met the big boss's nephew, Edward Abel Smith, while on a private vacation in his private villa with her daughter and son, legendary entrepreneur and Chairman of virgin group, British Virgin Island.
The unfolding of this love story is so interesting. The island was bought by Richard Branson in the 1970s, and over the years not only royals but also celebrities have weddings: Google co-founder Larry Page was married on the island in 2007, the wedding of Jimmy Fallon and his wife Nick Lachey was also held here, and Beckham and Victoria celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary here...
On this originally happy vacation, the mansion accidentally caught fire (supposedly caused by lightning), and the guests managed to escape, and the fire was extinguished.
When the fire broke out, Kate not only rescued her daughter and son, but also helped Richard Branson rescue his 90-year-old mother, which touched the old prodigal son and publicly thanked Kate on many occasions afterwards.
A group photo in front of the ruins, this...
On the other side, Kate and Edward's inner flame was also ignited, and the two developed rapidly, marrying in New York the following year and giving birth to their youngest son, Bear, the following year after marriage.
This time, Kate moved back to England, bought a seaside mansion worth 3.25 million yuan in West Wittering, Sussex, and settled with her family.
Don't look low-key, Kate's husband currently works at Virgin Galactic, a public company owned by the Virgin Group, which is engaged in the field of commercial passenger suborbital flight. In the face of outside skepticism, Kate said: "No one really knows what happened in my life, no one really knows why my first marriage ended, and no one knows why my second marriage ended, and I am proud of my silence." ”
Experiencing such a colorful emotional life has not hindered the actress's continuous improvement in acting. Leonardo has publicly stated that Kate is his favorite actress he's worked with, and her 2009 Academy Award-winning video received 8.1 million views on YouTube, the most watched best actress winning video ever, higher than the one when her big cousin, Jennifer Lawrence, fell.
Far from it, let's say that when filming "Ammonite", Kate rented a small house on the pebble beach on the edge of the cliff 2 hours away from the Dorset set, "as soon as there is wind, the whole place will rattle and shake", staying alone for three days a week, and the other two days let her husband visit with her children, bringing herself closer to the lonely heart of the heroine, paleontologist Mary Anning.
Also because of the female role of "Ammonite", Kate is often asked what it feels like to kiss a girl, she does not think it is happy, but feels very unhappy: "I think I am a little angry with myself, maybe in the past I framed myself too much in heterosexual roles, so this time it will make people feel violated... When I was in the same scene with a man, no one ever asked me a question like that. I think I could have done better. ”
For years, Kate has been someone who can always get into her life and wrap herself up in the smoke, when her agent told her that she won the role of "Heavenly Creatures", she was making a spiced smoked beef sandwich, she put her Oscar trophy in the bathroom, went to Betty's outdoor adventure show, ran to Snowdenia, Wales, hiked for two days, she used tampons to make a fire, and ate earthworms.
She is also very anxious about the long awards season every year: "Every time I try on a dress, I am so stressed, I don't want to throw my sexy and annoying mother who can send her baby to school immediately into the red carpet dress that I will never wear again, which is a waste of money." 」 ”
In a 2017 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Kate also made it clear that she had no cooks, no drivers, and the like: "If I had these things, I would feel like people who were living very unreally, and my kids would absolutely hate it... I want them to remember the chicken soup I made, the box lunch I packed, and my presence at school.
It's also over the past 20 years that people's harsh evaluations of women's bodies have improved, but Kate Winslet is still the Kate Winslet, and she revealed in an interview 3 years ago that she hadn't weighed herself in 12 years.
The beauty of time lies in its inevitable passage. Spring flowers, autumn moons, summer days, winter snow.
Not in a hurry, in the second half of life, the curtain opens.
