Kate Winslet has done two major movies since I last featured her here in 2007. Both of them were released in 2008.
In The Reader, the British actress played an ex-Nazi concentration camp guard who has an affair with a teenager who witnesses her trial for war crimes when he becomes an adult - a role Winslet admits to being very difficult - and in Revolution Road, she starred as a suburban housewife who can't escape the ennui of her existence. This movie reteamed her with her Titanic co-star Leonardo Di Caprio, who played her husband. This time around, DeCaprio appeared to be like the man Rose DeWitt (Kate Winslet's character in Titanic) was relieved to have avoided marrying.
Currently, Kate Winslet is set to play the title role in a miniseries version of the 1945 Joan Crawford movie Mildred Pierce.
That's it for retrospectives. I'll be back with new subjects soon.
