Ask Kate Winslet what she liked about any of her characters, and the word "ballsy" is bound to pop up at least once. The British actress has made a point of eschewing straightforward pretty-girl parts in favor of more devilish damsels; as a result, she`s built an eclectic resume; that runs the gamut from Shakespearean tragedy to modern-day mysticism and erotica.

Born into a family of thespians - parents Roger and Sally were both stage actors, maternal grandparents Oliver and Linda Bridges ran the Reading Repertory Theatre, and uncle Robert Bridges was a fixture in London`s West End theatre district - Kate came into her talent at an early age. She scored her first professional gig at 11, dancing opposite the Honey Monster in a commercial for a kids` cereal. She started acting lessons around the same time, which led to formal training at a performing arts high school. Over the next few years she appeared on stage regularly and landed a few bit parts in sitcoms. Her first big break came at age 17, when she was cast as an obsessive adolescent in Heavenly Creatures (1994). The film, based on the true story of two fantasy-gripped girls who commit a brutal murder, received modest distribution but was roundly praised by critics.

Still a relative unknown, Winslet attended a cattle call audition the next year for Ang Lee`s Sense and Sensibility (1995). She made an immediate impression on the film`s star, Emma Thompson, and beat out more than a hundred other hopefuls for the part of plucky Marianne Dashwood. Her efforts were rewarded with both a British Academy Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Winslet followed up with two more period pieces, playing the rebellious heroine in Jude (1996) and Ophelia in Kenneth Branagh`s Hamlet (1996).

The role that transformed Winslet from art house attraction to international star was Rose DeWitt Bukater, the passionate, rosy-cheeked aristocrat in James Cameron`s Titanic (1997). Young girls the world over both idolized and identified with Winslet, swooning over all that face time opposite heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and noting her refreshingly healthy, un-emaciated physique. Winslet`s performance also garnered a Best Actress nomination, making her the youngest actress to ever receive two Academy nods.

After the swell of unexpected attention surrounding Titanic (1997), Winslet was eager to retreat into independent projects. Rumor has it that she turned down the lead roles in both Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Anna and the King (1999) in order to play adventurous soul searchers in Hideous Kinky (1998) and Holy Smoke (1999). The former cast her as a young single mother traveling through 1960s Morocco with her daughters in tow; the latter, as a zealous follower of a guru tricked into a "deprogramming" session in the Australian outback. The next year found her back in period dress as the Marquis de Sade`s chambermaid and accomplice in Quills (2000). Kate holds the distinction of being the youngest actor ever honored with four Academy Award nominations (she received her fourth at age 29.)

Off camera, Winslet is known for her mischievous pranks and familial devotion. She has two sisters, Anna Winslet and Beth Winslet (both actresses), and a brother, Joss. In 1998 she married James Threapleton, whom she met on the set of Hideous Kinky (1998); the pair had a daughter, Mia, in October of 2000. They divorced in 2001. She later married director Sam Mendes in 2003 and has since given birth to their son Joe.

[talking about her screen debut in Heavenly Creatures

(1994)]: "I was reading the script in the back of the car and I turned to my dad and yelled, `I`ve GOT to get this!` And he replied, `Then you will.` And I thought, `Yep, that`s it. I`m bloody well going to.` And that was it. I was so determined. It was something crucial to my life. I just so communicated with her, the story and their relationship. And when I found out, I just couldn`t believe it. I was so happy, I cried. I remember I was working part-time at a deli at the time because I didn`t have any money and was in the middle of making a sandwich when they phoned and said I`d got the job. I burst into tears and had to leave work because I couldn`t control myself. It was absolutely brilliant." In 2002 she had this to say about doing nude scenes: "I like exposing myself. There`s not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I`m the kind of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself." "I`d rather do the atre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films." "It`s very important for me to make the statement that I am English and just because I`ve done one really big film, it doesn`t mean that I don`t want to keep a finger in the fantastic British film industry and do films like this." About her spur-of-the-moment marriage to Sam Mendes - "We hadn`t been planning to do it but we thought it was rather a good idea, so we just did it." "After Titanic (1997) it would have been completely foolish for me to go and try and top that. I`m an English girl, I`ve always loved England, I`ve never felt the desire to leave it for any particular reason. And whilst I`m ambitious and care very much about what I do, I`m not competitive. I also don`t want to act every day of my life.

So it was important to me after Titanic (1997) to just remind myself of why it was that I was acting in the first place, which is of course becau se I love it."

Is this going to challenge me, is this going to inspire me, and is this going to make me love my job more than I already do?" "There is no way we are going to move out of England. Some might think that we want to live in Hollywood but that is not what we want at all. We will go and live in New York when it is necessary because of work but we prefer to be in England. I`m proud to be English - we both are. It`s very important to me to retain that. I am an English girl and I love England. I have never felt the desire to leave. I am still ambitious and I will have to travel and live elsewhere because of that but England is always home." On a scene from the movie Holy Smoke (1999),: "It was a difficult scene. When I read the script and I saw this scene was there, I laughed hysterically. I just couldn`t believe it. When it came to shooting it, I had been sort of putting it off, and pretending it wasn`t going to happen. And suddenly, I am there naked, peeing and thinking "Oh no!" It was really hard to do, but I`ve always loved the fact that it was there, and it`s such a sort of turning point for the character I play in the movie that I`ve always felt sort of good, that it should be there." On receiving her 4th Oscar nomination: "I can`t believe it. I am ecst atic! This nomination means so much to me. To be remembered for a film that was released a while ago, I am unbelievably honoured and completely overwhelmed." "There`s more to life than cheek bones." "Mum and dad were very much friends, and up to life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up, they just taught me to be me." "Life is short, and it is here to be lived." "Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go."
