THE COMEBACK

After a decade of exclusively being a movie star and whatnot, Kate Winslet’s triumphant return to te levis ion has everyone talking

In a career that has spanned decades, Kate Winslet’s most famous role is that of Rose in 1997’s Titanic. But in May, this iconic character was finally challenged in the talkability stakes, when Kate turned to the small screen in Mare of Easttown, in which she plays a small-town detective worn down by a turbulent home life. The seven-part drama has twists, turns and gut-punching shocks, held together by the actor’s most powerful performance in years. The Times has called her ‘tremendous’; The Guardian, ‘a triumph’. Social media is awash with calls for Kate to receive every award going forward.
