parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo
matches...always the same narrow people, the same
mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great
precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who
cared...or even noticed."
------ Rose DeWitt Bukater
KATE WINSLET (Rose DeWitt Bukater) first received
international acclaim for her performance in Peter
Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures," in which she starred as a
teenage girl whose intense relationship with an equally
imaginative school friend leads to murder. Her promise
was confirmed with her performance as the impetuous
Marianne in Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility," opposite
Emma Thompson, for which she won a SAG and BAFTA
award for Best Supporting Actress and an Academy
Award® nomination, all in 1996. Most recently she
received universal praise for her portrayal of the
heart-rending and determined Sue Bridehead in Michael
Winterbottom's "Jude" and as the tortured Ophelia in
Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of "Hamlet." Winslet will
next star in the independent feature film "Hideous Kinky,"
filming on location in Morocco this fall.
