Kate Winslet Bares All For Vanity Fair

Kate Winslet Bares All For Vanity Fair

Two years ago, at 31, Kate Winslet became the youngest actress ever to earn five Oscar nominations. This go-round, either of her two new movies—Revolutionary Road, which re-unites her with Leonardo DiCaprio, or The Reader—could put a statue in her hands. Winslet talks about having been a fat girl, getting checked out by the moms at her kids’ school, and going one-on-one with DiCaprio for her husband, director Sam Mendes.

For this shoot in Los Angeles, Winslet was channeling the Deneuve character from Belle de Jour, about a housewife moonlighting as a daytime prostitute. Luis Buñuel directed the 1967 film.
