Kate Winslet Discusses Upcoming Return From Year-Long Acting Break
Kate Winslet has spoken about returning from her year-long acting break. Winslet has become a recognizable actress in the film industry since her breakout role as Rose in Titanic in 1997. While this wasn't her first acting role, Titanic would go on to become an iconic classic that shot both Winslet and her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio to stardom. Since then, Winslet hasn't been lacking in interesting characters to sink her teeth into and has starred in a wide range of films from LGBTQ+ period drama Ammonite to sci-fi romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
