‘I Am Different’: Kate Winslet Reveals She’s Nothing Like Her Iconic Characters Rose And Iris Amid Lee Release

As an ardent admirer of Kate Winslet‘s illustrious career spanning over three decades, I find myself constantly amazed by her ability to transform into such diverse and captivating characters. From the timid Rose on the Titanic to the bold Tilly in The Dressmaker, each role she has embodied is a testament to her versatility as an actress.


Kate Winslet is looking back at her memorable roles as she prepares for her upcoming release, “Lee,” a powerful war drama set to premiere next month. In an interview with Times Radio, the actress discussed her character in this latest war movie while also recalling her iconic characters, Rose and Tilly from Titanic and The Dressmaker respectively.

As a devoted admirer, I’d like to echo the humble sentiments of Ms. Winslet: While my performances have undeniably left a significant imprint on viewers and shaped popular culture, I remain deeply aware that there exists a vast chasm between myself and the characters I bring to life on screen.

During her interview, the actress famed for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind expressed her characters as “determined” and “brave.” Winslet noted, “I’m unique; I haven’t played anyone who resembles me in real life at all. It’s quite peculiar.

The actress openly admitted that while portraying characters in the past, she didn’t see many similarities between herself and those roles. For instance, regarding her character Mare Sheehan, she stated that she didn’t really resonate with it and instead, created the character entirely from scratch.

In simpler terms, she expressed that by portraying Lee in her next film, she had experienced a transformation that made her feel as resolute and driven as the character.

She commented, “I believe I displayed more rebelliousness when I was younger; I felt compelled to assert myself more often during those times. However, the culture in the film industry has evolved dramatically since then. Nowadays, that’s not as necessary, but my fervor and resoluteness, I feel, are still comparable to Lee Miller’s.

In this upcoming movie, Kate Winslet is set to embody the character of Elizabeth “Lee” Miller, a Vogue model who transformed into an accomplished war photographer. The film’s narrative revolves around the life story of Elizabeth “Lee” Miller, a fashion model for Vogue magazine who gained acclaim as a war correspondent during World War II.

Alongside Winslet, the film features Andy Samberg, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law, Andrea Riseborough, and James Murray. “Lee” is set to be released in theaters on September 20th.
