Harper’s Bazaar cover
Winslet appears on the cover of Bazaar’s March edition. She talks about aging.
What is so gorgeous, so really, truly, bloody gorgeous about being the age I am is that all the ridiculous angst that I might once have felt about having a bit of cellulite, or being a bit puffy in the face, or whatever, has just evaporated. I simply can’t believe I ever spent any time wasting my life on that nonsense.
Harper’s Bazaar interview
Winslet dis
cusses her life post new baby and new marriage in this interview for Harper’s Bazaar. On going back and forth between her private and public life:
It’s a very strange place to be because the truth is, I’m not famous until I am in those moments. Those are the times when I am suddenly famous. My real life is a very real life. And I know I say this all the time, but it’s really true. Thank God.

Glamour UK cover
Winslet appears on the cover of the February 2014 issue of Glamour UK magazine. She talks about motherhood, falling in love, and acting nerves.
My life is not a soap opera people would like it to be; in fact, it’s not a soap opera at all.
Concern for Miley Cyrus
0 CommentsWinslet shares her fears for Miley Cyrus, and all young actors and musicians.
I mean, you think about someone like Miley Cyrus, and I said to my daughter the other day, ‘I’m this close to opening my mouth about what’s going on with that girl’. Who is actually saying, ‘Stop for a second, what do you want, who are you?’
She also comments on raising her children amidst social media.
We live in a world where we have to be aware of all this stuff, unfortunately. And it’s feeding this young generation in a way that’s beyond terrifying, so normal friendships aren’t even normal friendships anymore because, half the time, they seem to be forging relationships with people they’ve never met.

The fugitive, Frank (Josh Brolin), gradually reveals what sent him to prison and he and Adele end up falling in love. On the character:
She is a woman who has a gigantic heart, and, certainly in her past, it beat much fuller and faster. I felt very strongly that through Frank and falling in love with him some of those sides of her would come back to life a little bit.
Bear Winslet born
Winslet and RocknRoll welcome their first baby boy together, Winslet’s third child. The boy is born at an NHS hospital in Sussex Asked if the child would take the father’s name:
We haven’t ever really had that conversation; it was always going to have my name. My other children] Mia and Joe have it as part of their name, so it would be weird if this baby didn’t. Of course we’re not going to call it Rocknroll. People might judge all they like, but I’m a f****** grown-up.
Vogue cover
Winslet appears on the cover of the November 2013 issue of Vogue. She discusses her marriage, pregnancy, and how her life is better.
At the moment I seem to be wanting orange juice a lot. I don’t know quite why that is, but it’s not so weird. I wish I could tell you I had some weird craving. I wish I could be like that woman on the advert who loves tuna fish and banana, but I’m not like that at all.

I will say this: she’s got a great sense of humor, and it’s dark. We were on the set about two minutes, and we were dropping bombs back and forth. I thought, oh my God, she’s filthy—but in a very fun, cool way. I always loved Kate Winslet, but after you meet her you really love her because she’s a cool chick.

If Roman Polanski invites you to join in any project, you really don’t say no. I had seen the play in New York so I was already very much a fan on the piece. I just felt extremely fortunate to be included.

Necker house fire
Branson’s house on Necker Island burns down in a fire as the area is hit by Hurricane Irene. Winslet is among the guests, and carries Branson’s 90-year-old mother, Eve, to safety after his son Sam alerts them to the blaze. Branson:
Around 20 people were in the house and they all managed to get out and they are all fine … We had a really bad tropical storm with winds up to 90mph. A big lightning storm came around 4am and hit the house. It took hold incredibly quickly, with flames 100ft high. It ripped through the house very quickly. Sam heard explosions in the main house and raised the alarm. He and my nephew Jack rushed to the house and helped get everyone out.
Kate Winslet, her boyfriend and her family were there and Holly and some of her friends were also staying. My mother was there and they managed to get her out and she is fine. The main house is completely destroyed and the fire is not yet completely out. My office was based in the house and I have lost thousands of photographs and my notebooks, which is very sad. But all family and friends are well – which in the end is all that really matters.
Emmy nomination
Winslet is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Mildred Pierce on Mildred Pierce.
I am completely beside myself with joy that Mildred Pierce has received such tremendous acknowledgment!!!! I am incredibly proud to be a part of this great production.
Mildred Pierce
0 CommentsWinslet plays Mildred Pierce, a divorcee with two daughters during the Great Depression, in this five part miniseries drama directed by Todd Haynes from the novel by James M. Cain. After divorcing her husband, Pierce finds work as a waitress, later opening her own restaurant. Her daughter Veda (Evan Rachel Wood) rebels against her at every turn. Co-starring Melissa Leo and Guy Pearce.
Mildred does a very good job of pretending to be strong — something I think a lot of mothers do. But I don’t think even she realizes how vulnerable she is just beneath the surface of her determination and survival instinct. It had been a really long time since that rawness had to be so alarmingly accessible to me and I didn’t really like it!
Wins Oscar
Winslet wins Best Actress at the 81st Academy Awards for portraying Hanna Schmitz in The Reader.
That’s a career-defining moment when you get to stand along someone like Meryl. And so I honestly did not think for one second that it was going to be me.
