Kate Winslet has a unique gift to remember her time on the set of TV mini-series Mildred Pierce — a gag reel filled with the actress’ expletive-laden outtakes.

The Titanic star plays the title role in the upcoming 1930s drama, about a young mother who opens up a bakery to earn some extra cash.

But Winslet struggled to keep in character throughout the shoot and would often let slip a few curse words, so producers decided to gather up all of the rude bloopers and presented Winslet with the complete collection when filming wrapped.

The Oscar winner was keen to show off the footage, but she soon realized it wasn’t quite so suitable to screen to her kids, Mia, 10, and Joe, seven.

Speaking on US talk show The View on Friday, Winslet says, “To have this was so much fun and I thought, ‘Oh, well I can show the children.’ So we sat down and I said, ‘Guys, guys this is really exciting, it’s all the silly bits, when mistakes happen.’ So we put it on. Three seconds later I was like, ‘Off! We’ll watch that when you’re 18.'”

Kate Winslet improved her skills in the kitchen while shooting new TV show Mildred Pierce — she received chicken-chopping lessons from celebrity chef Tom Colicchio.

The Titanic actress takes the title role in the upcoming HBO drama, playing a young mother in the 1930s who opens up a bakery to earn extra cash.

Producers drafted in famed cook Colicchio to teach Winslet an authentic retro technique for cutting up meat — and she was delighted to learn new culinary skills.

Winslet tells GrubStreet.com, “I cook anyway, so I was very fortunate with that. I was working with the culinary experts, and they just could see that I’m obviously used to being in the kitchen. And that definitely did help, I have to say, especially when I had to do things quite swiftly and deftly in the kitchen and make it look as though she had been doing it for years.

“(Colicchio) really actually came up with a particular way of portioning up the chicken that isn’t really done so much these days, so it didn’t look too contemporary. We didn’t want it to look like I had been taught by a culinary expert, and Tom was very good at being aware of that, and how important that was for the character.”

And Winslet has continued using her new-found skills in her kitchen at home.

She adds, “I never buy chicken in pieces anymore, I always buy a whole chicken. I’m like, I know how to do this!”
