After the swell of unexpected attention surrounding Titanic, Winslet was eager to retreat into independent projects. Rumor has it that she turned down the lead roles in both "Shakespeare in Love" and "Anna and the King" in order to play adventurous soul searchers in "Hideous Kinky" and "Holy Smoke".
The year 2000 found her back in period dress as the Marquis de Sade's chambermaid in "Quills". Kate holds the distinction of being the youngest actor ever honored with five Academy Award nominations.
