Kate wows at London premiere

Eleven years after Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were back on the red carpet together last night, for the London premiere of their new movie, Revolutionary Road.

Continuing the fashion transformation — in which we’ve seen her hemlines soar and style get slinkier — Winslet looked radiant, wowing in a Narcisco Rodriguez little black dress and a towering pair of five-inch heels by Roger Vivier.

And though she was flashing some serious flesh, the actress still braved the cold, to sign fans’ autographs for over an hour, before heading into the cinema.

Speaking to reporters, the co-stars, who have remained friends since their epic first film, had nothing but praise for each other, with Winslet calling DiCaprio “the greatest actor of his generation.”

Meanwhile of Winslet, he told the Daily Mail, “We have been a great support mechanism for each other. We both started when we were young and have always been great friends ever since Titanic. We have always been there for each other.”

Winslet’s Method Acting Struggle

KATE WINSLET was so focused on accurately portraying her character in The Reader she struggled to return to day-to-day life after filming wrapped.
The actress plays a former Nazi concentration camp guard in the post-war drama, and put all her emotions into the intense role.
And Winslet, whose performance in the film won her a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe last week (11Jan09), admits it took months for her to bid farewell to the character.
She says, “It’s like I’ve escaped from a serious car accident and need to understand what has just happened.
“When I leave a character, I have to analyse the trance through which I have just passed. It can take me several months to say goodbye to them.”
And she has credited her filmmaker husband Sam Mendes with helping her back to reality: “My husband is a fantastic support. He knows when to leave me alone with a cup of tea and a pack of cigs, and, if I break down in tears, he takes me in his arms. He knows that I have to go through all that in order to ‘come back’.”
