In 1997, the release of the film Titanic was a sensation. The 22-year-old british actor Kate Winslet, who defeated Gwyneth Paterro, Uma Thurman, Winona Ryder, Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz and other Hollywood heavyweights, played the heroine Ruth DeWitt Bucat in the film, and became famous in one fell swoop.
Kate's process of getting the role was dramatic. At that time, she was deeply moved by the script and decided to play Ruth. In order to contact director James Cameron, her agent rummaged through the garbage in Cameron's doorway and finally found a phone number, which was the number of his car phone. When Kate called Cameron, Cameron was driving and was bent on hanging up the phone. She said to him, "I've got to act [Ruth], and if you don't let me act, you're crazy." ”
Cameron was finally persuaded to allow her to audition, and it took her three days to prove to the director that she was indeed the best person to play Ruth.
Kate is such a person, knows what she wants, knows how to sell herself, works hard to achieve her goals, and never gives up until she achieves her goals. She is a typical career life without mistakes. In her career, her achievements are obvious to all, and various acting awards have been won. In life, she has been married three times, has a child for each husband, raises the children herself, gets up at 6 o'clock every morning to make breakfast, and helps the children prepare for school.
In the process of the two divorces, Kate has shown great maturity and rationality, even if misunderstood, rumors are flying around, she did not disclose the specific reasons for the divorce to the media, let alone blame the other party, each time it was a peaceful breakup with the ex, raising children together.
"No one really knows what's going on in my life. No one really knows why my first marriage didn't go on, no one knows why my second marriage broke up, and I'm proud of the silence. ”

Kate's first love boyfriend is British actor Stephen Tredley, and the two met in 1991 while co-working on the sci-fi series Dark Seasons, she was 16 and he was 28.
They lived in an apartment in London, and 5 years later, Stephen was diagnosed with bone cancer, fearing that Kate would ruin her career by taking care of him, insisted on being separated from her. The two broke up the year Kate filmed Titanic.
Stephen died before titanic was released and didn't see the day Kate became famous. Heartbroken Kate missed the Hollywood premiere of Titanic in order to attend Stephen's funeral.
Although she understands that Stephen's request for a breakup does not want to be a burden to her, Kate regrets not staying with him in the first place. "Stephen let me go, it was one person's overwhelming love for another. If I go back in time, I hope he didn't do that, and I want to accompany him to the end. He went fast, and those scenes would still flash through my mind. I still love him. I will always love him. ”
Kate called Stephen the most important person in her life, her family. "You can't beat death, you just learn to put up with it. Whenever I think about the past, I still feel sad. ”

Life goes on.
In 1998, Kate met her first husband, assistant director Jim Trepton, while filming the film North African Lover. She described the scene when the two first met: "I got there and saw a fairly handsome blonde boy with dreamy blue eyes, and I said to myself, 'Broken' because I knew (the feeling of love at first sight) that there was nothing we could do about it .[ ”
In November of the same year, they had a low-key wedding.
In 2001, they welcomed their daughter Mia. Probably because of the flash marriage, they didn't know each other well enough before marriage, their marriage had problems very early, and not long after the birth of their daughter, the two divorced. At the time, Winslet's spokesman said only that "the breakup is friendly."
Fast forward, and in a 2004 interview, Kate admitted that her relationship with Jim was actually a "mess." "In the last year and a half before my divorce, I was isolated from my family and friends and became a different person completely. He didn't want me to be famous, and I started looking for a role in a supporting role, and he would read a script that made me like and immediately say that the character wasn't good enough for me and extinguish my passion for the character. It was the only time in my life that I lost control of my intuition. ”
Jim remarried to a teacher, an outsider, which confirms Kate's statement that Jim doesn't want his wife to be too famous.

Four or five months after separating jim, famed film director Sam Mendes ("American Beauty", "Revolutionary Road", "007 Skyfall") invited Kate to see a play he directed.
Sam, who was ten years older than Kate, later became Kate's second husband.
At first, the relationship between the two has some twists and turns, as rumor has it that Kate and Jim divorced due to Kate and Sam's extramarital affair. Kate said: "Of course we didn't have (extramarital affairs), but the tabloids said I was hanging around, looking left and right at the premiere and not taking care of my daughter. ”
Kate and Sam married in May 2003, the same year their son Joe was born. Seven years later, the two announced their separation. Their lawyer said in a statement: "Kate and Sam regret to announce that they separated earlier this year. The breakup was completely friendly and mutually agreeable. Both parties will commit to raising children together in the future. ”
At the time, many believed that the movie "Revolutionary Road" led to the breakup of the two. Directed by Sam and starring Kate and Leonardo DiCaprio, the 2008 film is their second collaboration since Titanic. The film is about the tangled and contradictory married life of a middle-aged couple. Kate won the 2009 Golden Globe Award for the film, and both Leonardo and Sam were nominated for the Ballon d'Or.
Kate says making a film directed by her husband is an embarrassing thing — especially an emotional scene. "I kept saying, 'This is weird.' Leo (Leonardo's nickname) got me over it a bit and I said, 'You're my best friend, he's my husband.' It's definitely a little weird'. ”
Soon after Kate and Sam announced their separation, rumors of Sam's affair with actress Rebecca Hall surfaced. While Sam said the claim was "downright nonsense," one source said Kate had a serious conversation with her after learning of her husband's affair.
Sam told Kate: "One can't get inspiration from just one relationship, for me, there will never be just one relationship, life is a series of relationships. ”
Kate said: "For me, it's a relationship and that's what I want".
Sam replied, "Well, that's not what I wanted."

In 2011, Kate, who was single again, and her two children went on vacation at a luxury villa on Necker Island by billionaire Sir Richard Branson (founder of the Virgin brand) when a fire suddenly broke out, and while helping Branson's 90-year-old mother escape the fire, Kate met Edward Abel Smith, who rushed to help. Edward was Branson's nephew and lived in an adjacent building.
"He was the only guy with a headlamp and shoes, everyone else was putting everything behind, I took my bra, passport and my kids."
"So I married him!" I thought, I'm going to go find the guy with the headlamp! ”
Edward is an executive at Virgin Galactic and a man of personality. In 2008, he decided that his real name wasn't cool enough and changed his name to Ned Rocknowle. Rocknow's English is RockNRoll, which means "rock". After dating Kate, because Kate is too famous, the media reacted more to her boyfriend's name "Rock", and in 2019, he changed his name back to Edward Abel Smith.
In December 2012, Kate and Edward married at a private ceremony in New York, and in 2013, they had a son named Bell.
In 2015, Kate said in an interview, "Thank God for giving me Ned (Edward) – really, his support for me is incredible, he's still so funny, he's absolutely everything to me." ”
She finally found her own Prince Charming.

Although Leonardo and Kate have performed many romantic scenes on the screen, they are just good friends in real life. Kate said she thinks the friendship with Leonardo survived because there wasn't anything romantic between them. During the filming of Titanic, she said kissing him was like kissing her own brother. "I'm very grateful for this friendship, you know, it's a rare friendship in Hollywood. Honestly, we were like family, and I just felt very, very lucky. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > postscript</h1>
Kate Winslet is a well-known actress, not only because of her good acting skills and lifelike characters, but also because of her dedication, humility, optimism, contentment, uplifting, and high emotional intelligence.
Since she was a child, she has loved acting, she only wants to be an actress, does not want to be a star, and never wants to be famous. She felt that her appearance did not meet the conditions to become a big star, and when she went to school, because of her slightly fat figure and a pair of big feet (she was less than 1 meter 7 tall and wore size 43 shoes), she was often ridiculed by other female classmates.
"I'm fat, and no female star is fat. I never grew up hearing any women say yes to my figure. ”
After success, she meets the girl who was once the most mean to her and says "thank you" to the girl who made her stronger.
She never deliberately hides her wrinkles, nor does she have the crisis that many middle-aged actresses feel, and as she gets older, she becomes more and more confident and feels that her current self is the best version of herself.
"When you're 21, you think, 'Oh God, when I'm 36, it's almost 40, and how old my face looks and how many wrinkles it has to be.'" Actually, I like the way I look. ”
It may be that the death of her first love has allowed Kate Winslet to see through life and death, understand that life is short, and when a relationship cannot continue, she will not be entangled with the other party, but choose to let go and look forward. Her motto is "Go ahead, be tolerant, forgive and forget".
"I was born to be a very positive person because I'm happy with myself and my life, I have a good husband, the kids are beautiful, and a job I love, I can express my emotions and fulfill a lot of dreams and aspirations," she said. ”
Women only have excellent themselves to attract excellent others, and men are the same.
