Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Kate Winslet:
Okay, look. Here's the thing about that Kate Winslet/Rachel Weisz 2 Stars 1 Slot I wrote back in 2003: I gave the advantage to Weisz, and I was wrong. Comparing Weisz and Winslet now demonstrates how very wrong I was: Winslet is in the midst of Oscar hoopla surrounding her fourth nomination. And Weisz has been reunited with her Chain Reaction co-star Keanu Reeves in Constantine, which, more like Crapstantine. 'Hell wants him'? Hell's the only one.
We love Winslet in much the same way, and for much the same reason, that we love her Sense & Sensibility co-star Emma Thompson: she's a natural actor and a really cool person. ...with her canny combination of normal, out-of-the-spotlight living and mostly good movies, Winslet has been one of our most beloved actors ever since Heavenly Creatures, more than ten years ago. She never held herself up as an icon of anything, really, and is unfailingly lovable and charming in interviews -- which you might not think of as a talent, especially, until you consider how few of her colleagues possess it.
Assets: - So very pretty. well. cool.
