Near, far, wherever you are, you must surely have heard of Kate Winslet. She possesses a strong claim to being the actress of the 1990s, and most of it is down to just one utterly iconic performance. She stole hearts, minds and awards as Rose in "Titanic", the movie which launched the careers of both her and Leonardo di Caprio to superstardom.
Her list of acting credits is so extensive that it merits its own individual page on Wikipedia, and she's every bit as relevant today as she always has been. She's growing older gracefully, having spoken out against plastic surgery and Botox, which marks her out as having a different attitude to most of her contemporaries. Despite "Titanic" being a huge success, Kate is on record as saying she prefers smaller, more art-house style productions, and is particularly fond of playing conflicted or troubled women.
