This ghost is a world star!

Buhhuuuu! Don’t get a shock now!

What’s here just going across the Kantstrasse (Charlottenburg) is only looking like a ghost…

The woman underneath the towel is Hollywood star Kate Winslet (32, Titanic) during the shooting of The Reader a film based on the novel by Bernhard Schlink (63).

Right in front of the land registry she got screened by photographers so that she was able to creep into the mask. According to set Рinsiders Winslet totally pored into her role and is hardly addressable at the film set. But mercifully she is it in the film: Yesterday she had a shooting with Hollywood colleague Ralph Fiennes (45). Further recordings are going to be shot in the memorial place Hohensch̦nhausen.

New video + old interview (better version) with screen captures

Found a better version of Kate on Parkinson on October of 2006. So I took screen captures and added the video to the archives. Also, since Kate tells what happened in a French talk show on Parkinson, I deided to upload that video as well. It’s kinda disgusting, but funny. :P
