Kate Winslet in Vogue
I’m super excited for the November issue of Vogue magazine, especially with a profile on Kate Winselt. From the moment I saw her in Titanic, I was crazy about her! In fact, I’m still kvelling (& crying!) over that movie! She has two new movies coming out as well as some Silver Linings in her personal life, including a new husband and baby on the way.
Here is a little teaser on the article from journalist Vicki Woods:
Vogue’s cover shoot is wrapped, and the voluptuous, golden-haired odalisque who just finished up a steamy London weekend (long days with nice food but no AC) smoldering for these pictures has disappeared. In her place is a feisty little madam in a maternity dress and flip-flops, who is in a ding-dong spat with the photographer. When she flounces away, he hollers at her disappearing back, so she spins around and yells at him in a London-street voice: “Actually, Mario, do you even know how to take a fackin’ photograph?” Then she picks up a hand mirror, sits down, and starts pulling out her own eyelashes. And Testino laughs and laughs. Everybody laughs. Because Kate Winslet, who was honored last year as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth (“for services rendered to drama”), is, as they say in her native England, pretty full-on. This is a euphemism. Winslet sprinkles her speech with many occurrences of the salty expletive I misspelled above. We won’t print any more, but my transcript throbs with them.
