Actor: Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet was nominated at twenty-one for Sense and Sensibility and won Best Actress for The Reader thirteen years later, with seven nominations in between.

Titanic made her enormously famous and she responded by taking small and difficult work, including Hideous Kinky, Holy Smoke and Iris.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the best performance, playing someone genuinely unlikeable and genuinely lovable at once. Mare of Easttown won her an Emmy and she insisted the production not retouch her appearance.
