Hi all!
Yes I went to ANOTHER Q&A and this time it was for Kate Winslet. Now Kate has been one of my idols for 10 years now and I have looked up to her in SO many ways that this evening was truely a dream come true for me.
First we saw "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" Which I have seen a few times and OWN it but it was ok to re see it in the theater. THEN she came out, she came down the aisle (we were at a cute little movie theater here in LA and she walked down to the front <---where we were down the aisle) and as she walked past me I couldn't get over how little she was, I am 5'2 and she is not much taller than me at all! AND she looked AMAZING! Wearing NO makeup (which I love cause I don't wear it either, unless I have to) and jeans (the same ones I had on :) ) and a black t-shirt and a sweater, very casual and relaxed. She sat down and talked a bit about the film and then started to answer questions, Once again my niece was one of the first ones to get her question answered and this is where it got amazing. My niece said "I am 16, what advice would you give me on acting" and she at first started to talk to the audience and say, "Stick with it, love what you are doing and NEVER give up" and then she looked straight at my niece and said "Let me tell you, when I was young all my teachers told me if I was going to act I could only play the fat roles, the fat girlfriend, the fat roommate (at this point she started to get teary) and it took all I could to NOT listen to them and do what I knew I wanted to do with my life, SO if what you want to do is act, if that is what is in your heart, you do it! NEVER give up, no matter what anyone says! And you WILL suceed" It was so heartfelt and meaningful.
Then the questions were done and since we were in the front as usual, my niece caught her on her way out and asked for a picture and she said "Of course" and then I asked for one and as I was walking twards her I started blurting out how she has been my insaration for many years and she grabbed me and hugged me SO tight and that is when the tears started to come and then she looked at me and hugged me again and I told her what she told my niece was SO amazing and she said NEVER let her forget and I told her I won't DONT worry! and WE then took a photo and expressed our thanks for being such an amazing person, and that we hoped to work with her someday and she said, it WILL happen!
It's SO late and I have to get up so early and all I can think about is how special this night was and how it seriouslly was a dream come true and I don't know how I am going to actually sleep.
SHE IS AMAZING! I love her so much! THANK YOU KATE!

It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!
