Charity Interviews/Articles Personal

Kate Winslet has a personal connection to charitable causes — because her family had to fall back on the generosity of others after her father “lost his foot” in an accident.

The Titanic star gives a large portion of her film wages to her chosen causes and reveals it’s something she has always felt compelled to do after being on the other side of hand-outs as a child.

She tells Ladies’ Home Journal magazine, “My father… lost his foot in an accident when I was young.

“It was awful, it caused all sorts of problems, both physically and psychologically — and for a while my family was supported by a charitable trust. So I understand on a very personal level what a charitable organization can do.”

Interviews/Articles Personal

Kate Winslet may have won a Golden Globe this month, but the actress’ most cherished role is her real life one as a mother.

Her children Joe, 7, and Mia, 11, are never far away from her, it seems, although Winslet says that her parents, Roger and Sally, sometimes step in to help out with childcare.

While talking about balancing work and children, the actress said, “you just do it”.

“I just figure it out and pull it off. But I will say this: I have never left my children to go away to work. I have always been able to figure out a schedule where I am shooting during part of their school holidays,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“I am a mother… That is what I do. Just before I came here today I said out loud‚ ‘OK, famous person hat on.’

“This is playing a completely different role. I always find these occasions thrilling but it is so very far removed from my own life,” she said.
