Kate Winslet is an English actress and occasional singer. She is noted for having played diverse characters over her career, but probably best-known for her critically acclaimed performances as Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility, Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic, Clementine Kruczynski in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sarah Pierce in Little Children, April Wheeler in Revolutionary Road, and Hanna Schmitz in The Reader.

Winslet has been nominated for six Academy Awards and won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Reader. She has won awards from the Screen Actors Guild, British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, as well as being nominated for an Emmy. At the age of 22, she became the youngest actress to receive two Oscar nominations; at age 33, she is now the youngest actor of either sex to receive six nominations. David Edelstein of New York Magazine hails her as "the best English-speaking film actress of her generation."

Born 5 October 1975, her primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Wood Rabit. Gentle Wood combines with the genteel Rabbit to create a person who loves peace, perhaps even to a fault. Not wanting to cause trouble, she is often seen as being unable to make a decision or state a firm position. And, she sometimes lets her emotions get the best of her. She is a kind and giving person. If there ever was anyone with a soft spot in their heart for animals and little children it would probably be her.
