The star of new Lee Miller biopic reveals that though she never publicly called out critics for what was an everyday occurrence at the time, in private she ‘let them have it’
Kate Winslet has broken down at the memory of being told she was overweight by journalists on the red carpet as a 22-year-old.to promote her new Lee Miller biopic, Winslet recalled her experience at the 1998 Golden Globe awards, which she attended as part of the Titanic team.
“I let them have it,” said Winslet. “I said, ‘I hope this haunts you.’ It was a great moment. It was a great moment because it wasn’t just for me,” she added. “It was for all those people who were subjected to that level of harassment. It was horrific, it was really bad.” “People say, ‘Oh, you were so brave for this role. You didn’t wear any makeup. You had wrinkles,’” she said, flagging the film industry’s double standards.
Speaking to the BBC earlier this year, Winslet said she disregarded the advice, calling it “absolutely bizarre” because Miller’s body wouldn’t have benefited from gym conditioning.Photograph: Kimberley French/©Sky UK Ltd
