, I don't look like that and I don't desire to look like that.
I do think it’s important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don’t really look like that.
I know when I walk into that classroom in the morning, even if it’s for a split second, at some point I’m being checked out.

About this person
Kate Elizabeth Winslet, born 5 October 1975, studied drama at the Redroofs Theatre School and appeared on British television at fifteen in Dark Season. Her film debut came as a teenage murderess in Heavenly Creatures (1994), followed by a BAFTA-winning turn as Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility (1995). Then Titanic (1997) made her globally famous - it was the highest-grossing film of its time - but she walked away from blockbusters afterward, choosing period pieces like Quills and Iris instead. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) cast her against type in a contemporary role and became a turning point; she followed it with Little Children, Revolutionary Road, and The Reader (2008), winning the Oscar and BAFTA for playing a former Nazi camp guard in the last. Since then she's portrayed Steve Jobs' marketing chief, won two Primetime Emmys for Mildred Pierce and Mare of Easttown, and co-founded an autism awareness charity. Divorced twice - from directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes - she's been married to Edward Abel Smith since 2012 and has three children, two of them actors.
