How old was Kate Winslet when she made Titanic?
Kate Elizabeth Winslet CBE is an English actress who has received numerous accolades for her work. Kate played the role of Rose in the Titanic.
Kate began filming Titanic when she was 21 years old, and the film was released when she was 22. She also had to beg filmmaker James Cameron to cast her in the role.
Cameron was hesitant to cast her at first, but she pleaded with him, and he agreed “You don’t understand! I am Rose! I have no idea why you’re seeing anyone else!” He finally gave her the part because of her tenacity.
Titanic went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time, grossing over $2 billion globally and establishing Winslet as a global star.
The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and earned Winslet, then 22, a nod for Best Actress in a Leading Role, making her the fourth-youngest candidate in the category at the time.
She was also nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards.
