I adore Kate Winslet, and I agree that she is truly the greatest actress of her generation. Her performances glow because she approaches them with such honesty, vulnerability and openness.
Reading about her story, I'm really thankful that Peter Jackson and his partner Fran Walsh gave Kate Winslet her first break in 1994's HEAVENLY CREATURES. Kate was an unknown then, but Jackson and Walsh found her audition so luminating that they cast her in the very difficult starring role of a teenage murderess. Her weight wasn't an issue. It was her captivating performance in this movie that paved the way for other character-driven films.
