"Kate Winslet Goes On Holiday With Jim and Baby Mia" Actress Kate Winslet looked casual in jeans and a T-shirt as she arrived at Heathrow Airport with her director husband, Jim Threapleton, and their eight-month-old daughter, Mia, in tow. |
Daily Mail (June 11) "I'm only Mia For The Beer"
Jim Threapleton, who has been left holding the baby while his wife is away filming, was obviously doing a first-rate job.

NW Magazine (Australia - May 21 issue) "Kate Windswept"
Braving the windy English weather, Kate Winslet looked happy and full of life on the set of her latest movie, Iris - her first role after the birth of her daughter, Mia, in October last year. |
Hello! Magazine (May 22 issue)
Kate Winslet could barely contain her excitement when she was visited on the set of her latest film by her family. Sweeping her seven-month-old daughter Mia up into her arms, she slipped effortlessly from her role as screen actress to mother as she snatched a few brief but special moments with her loved ones. |
Daily Mail newspaper (May 11) Mia and Jim visit Kate on the set of 'Iris'
An onlooker said: "Kate had been filming some scenes in a pub. When Jim pulled up, she ran out, gave him a kiss and then they got the baby out of the car seat together. They were taking it in turns to help her walk and just having a nice family time. There were lots of people on the green but they clearly weren’t bothered at all." |
Daily Mail newspaper April 2 edition "Kate's Favorite Role Is Mama To Mia"
"They looked absolutely devoted. Mia is a beautiful little girl and was very well behaved. They spent ages in Mothercare getting stuff for Mia and came out with bags of toys and clothes. Motherhood obviously suits Kate because she looked great." |
Ilona sent me the translation of the interview with Kate!
Kate talks about fame, Jim, Mia - and much more.
LOL at Kate's comment about house guests who can't stand the cold: "I tell them to drink tea and curl up under a blanket." |

A big 'thank you' to Lorissa for scanning the interview with Kate that appears in the current TV Week (Australia). Here's an excerpt (great Kate quote):
''Phil [Kaufman, the director] would come up to me and say, 'You look like a painting,' and I'd tell him to get back behind the camera because I had a job to do,'' she giggles. ''I was lucky to be surrounded by men like Geoffrey, Phil, Michael and Joaquin who were paying me all these compliments, but I'd regularly say to Geoffrey, 'What are you looking at?' because he got a bit carried away with the Marquis' lecherous side at times and had to be told to stand in the corner!'' |
February 24:
An
Australian paper has a nice feature on Kate. She discusses her films and tries to clear up the issue of
dieting. Here's an excerpt about working with Joaquin Phoenix on 'Quills': "It was my project to get Joaquin through the film," Winslet admitted, "because he was very tired and he was playing the hardest role of all of us." |
February 22:
Loriss has emailed me the HQ Magazine article featuring Kate! I've transcribed the article and posted it, along with the great photos, on a separate page. I'm certain we're all grateful to Lorissa for taking the time to scan it and share it with us! Excerpt: ''I have seen enough of the other side of acting - being out of work and waiting for the phone to ring - to appreciate everything. I learnt early on that luck has a bigger part to play than talent. Coming from an acting family has meant they have been really brilliant about my career. They never actually encouraged me but nor did they ever discourage me. We all made our own way, went down our own paths and made our own mistakes.'' |
February 19: Lorissa posted this interview with Kate on the kwfc mb. It's from the February 18th edition of the Aussie Sunday Telegraph:

January 19: This article is from the Saturday edition of the UK Times:
"Ground
Breaker," by Ed Potton Tactless,
perhaps, but probably correct. The undeniably middle-class Winslet, one of
a six-strong family of actors from Reading, will be forever defined by her
Oscar-nominated role as a feisty debutante in Titanic (1997). But
her determination to resist the pull of Hollywood showed when, instead of
following James Cameron's behemoth with the female lead in Shakespeare
in Love, which she was offered, she opted for a small independent
picture, Hideous Kinky (1998). |

NEW
YORK - Since riding to stardom on the wave of box-office giant Titanic,
Kate Winslet has been sailing along just fine, both as an actress and in
her new role as wife and mother. Winslet spoke to Fox News Channel's
Arthel Neville about her new movie Quills, starring Geoffrey Rush
and Michael Caine, and the recent talk about why she's trying to shed some
pounds. |
I have such great memories of that film, and all of the actors were amazing. I felt so in awe of the actors playing the lunatics. You know, they completely became these lunatics, and it was fascinating to watch. And they stayed in character the whole time. It was really impressive. Q:
I'm glad to
know you were impressed. I was, too. Q:
Absolutely.
Are there any particular types of films that you'd like to do that you
haven't done or would like to repeat again? |
January 13: The article from the January 7 UK Sunday Times Magazine is posted on a separate page. Special thanks to Farida for scanning it!

January 11: Munir emailed me scans of the Radio Times magazine interview with Kate. It's posted on a separate page, along with media coverage of the article.

January 7: Kate is featured in The News of The World Online Sunday Magazine. The brief article is a re-working of quotes previously published, and it has three pics inside that aren't new to us - the 'official' first baby photo, a wedding photo, and a pic of Kate and Joaquin in Quills. The cover shot is an older pic - but a nice pose from that photo session that's new to me.
