BAFTAS: Kate Winslet makes emotional speech after best actress win
Kate Winslet, 47, has debuted her latest movie, Lee, at Toronto International Film Festival, with the star getting her kit off, but this isn’t the first time.
Twenty-six years ago, Kate stripped off in her breakout role as Rose DeWitt in Titanic, opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.
Back then she asked the Hollywood actor’s character Jack Dawson to draw her “like one of his French girls” before the ship met its doom.
Kate produced her latest movie, Lee, and she stars as the famed World War II photographer and journalist Lee Miller.
In one scene of the movie, Kate’s character finds herself posing topless on the beach as she spends time with her future husband Roland Penrose, artist Man Ray, poet Paul Éluard, his wife Nusch, and the model Ady Fidelin.

In a new interview, Kate has admitted that she refuses to shy away from nudity on screen, despite criticism in the past.
Speaking to Vogue, she said as she seemingly referred to working on 1997’s Titanic: “I think it probably stems from having been subjected to the most awful scrutiny and judgment, and, actually, I would go so far as to say bullying, from mainstream media when I was in my 20s.
“I was consistently told I was in the wrong shape. I was consistently told I would have to settle for less.

“I know better than to waste precious energy on criticising my physical self. I think any woman is better off just saying: I believe in myself.
“It doesn’t matter what other people think; this is who I am — let’s get on with it.”
Kate has also spoken out about being “patronised” by male executives when trying to raise funds for the biopic, Lee.
In the interview, Kate explained the “unbelievably outraging” process of getting the film financed, leading to “patronising” meetings with executives.
She recalled: “I’ve even had a director say to me: ‘Listen, you do my film and I’ll get your little Lee funded…’ Little!
“Or we’d have potential male investors saying things like: ‘Tell me, why am I supposed to like this woman?'”
While Kate acknowledged that the attitude towards women in the film and TV industry has improved, she also noticed the #MeToo Movement.
Kate praised today’s actresses for being so “unafraid”, paving the way for the future of Hollywood.
