Kate Winslet was dedicated to making her latest character as real as possible.
over the weekend, Winslet plays Mare Sheehan, a small town Pennsylvania detective who's working to find a murderer while dealing with the grief of her son's suicide.
While Winslet was prepared to be unglamorous for the role, she still questioned if she wanted to do a sex scene at all. Her husband, Edward Abel Smith, encouraged her to go ahead with it. "He’s the superhot, superhuman, stay-at-home dad. He looks after us, especially me. I said to him earlier, like, 'Neddy, could you do something for me?' He just went, 'Anything,'" she says of Smith, whom she married in 2012."He is an absolutely extraordinary life partner. I’m so, so, so lucky."
"They were like 'Kate, really, you can’t,' and I’m like 'Guys, I know how many lines I have by the side of my eye, please put them all back,'" she recalls. "Listen, I hope that in playing Mare as a middle-aged woman -- I will be 46 in October -- I guess that’s why people have connected with this character in the way that they have done because there are clearly no filters," Winslet says. "She’s a fully functioning, flawed woman with a body and a face that moves in a way that is synonymous with her age and her life and where she comes from. I think we’re starved of that a bit.
