Kate Winslet is Deneuvely

Jump back, bow down and shut yo’ mouh!

Kate Winslet is SMOKIN’!

Photographed for Vanity Fair by Steven Meisel in a homage to French screen goddess Catherine Deneuve’s iconic role in Belle du Jour, we have never seen Winslet more glorious, a truth she has yet to come to grips with because of the stigma her body once had in Hollywood. “I was fat,” she says. “I didn’t know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I’m being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid.”

The fact that women like Kate are considered “fat” in Hollywood makes us totally sick.

Body issues aside she is still “the most talented actress of her generation.” This according to her Titanic co-star who she reunites with in the upcoming Oscar bait, Revolutionary Road.  This role could easily fetch her a sixth Oscar nomination and, hopefully this time, a win.

“Do I want [an Oscar]? You bet your fucking ass I do!” Winslet admits. “I think that people assume that I don’t care or don’t want it or don’t need it or something. It’s hard to be there five times, and I’m only human, you know? But I don’t go home and cry, because we’re all grown-ups here.”

If we could give her the award for most refreshing honesty, most talented, best role-model and most alluring, she’d have statues lined up for days. This is your year, Kate!
