A Filmography for Kate Winslet - Movies - http://maxpages.com/xanadu/winslet

I have never been silent about my dislike of Titanic. Perhaps it is sour grapes, but when an over-hyped, Hollywood-crafted marketing tool with cheesy dialogue and a overly-sentimental feel-good ending takes home the Oscar over such first-rate films as As Good As It Gets, Good Will Hunting, and L.A. Confidential, I have to complain. Nonetheless, one of the stars of this contemtuous movie is, I think, one of the most bright and talented actesses on the scene today. I like her other work so much, I have to overlook that one overblown picture. Taking off-beat roles as well as challenging ones (e.g. Ophelia, the most sought-after role in the acting community besides Lady Macbeth), she has excelled in her craft, and I look forward to her roles to come. Here is her filmography. As always, TV roles have been omitted.

Kate Elizabeth Winslet
Born: 5 October 1975. Reading, Berkshire, England.

Holy Smoke (1999) .... Ruth
Hideous Kinky (1998) .... Julia

Upcoming projects:

Winslet has two pictures set up for 2000, Therese Raquin and Quills. All I know about the former is that she is the executive producer as well as the star. No word yet on a plot or co-stars. In Quills, she will play the handmaid of the infamous Marquis de Sade (played by Geoffrey Rush).
