Kate Winslet has always been celebrated for her refusal to conform to Hollywood stereotypes.

And at first glance, Kate appeared to have taken her boycott too far as she was pictured looking extremely haggard and aged.

But the actress hasn’t totally abandoned her beauty regime and was simply in costume her latest film role.

Kate, 32, is starring alongside Ralph Fiennes in Stephen Daldry’s post-world war II drama, The Reader, based on the novel by Bernhard Schlink.

The film, currently being shot on location in Germany, sees Kate playing an older woman involved with a young man.

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.

Here at GFY, we are often asked, “Don’t you girls like ANYTHING?” The answer, of course, is no. We hate kittens and babies and Christmas. We hate presents and kissing and ice cream. We hate lip gloss and Luke Perry and football.

Listen, of course we like things. We like lots of things. I like all those things I just mentioned, especially the ice cream. But the website is not called Hey, I Love Your Outfit.com. That being said, sometimes we like to feature people wearing things we love (especially if they often wear things we don’t), and sometimes we like to give a shout out to people who almost always look good. (I believe the kids used to call this “giving props.”) Today, it’s the latter…

Now, you can’t always foresee an Ellen Page or a Marion Cotillard nomination. The best you can do is predict your picks based on pedigree. And the following actresses seem to have the right genetic makeup to make them contenders for a nomination in 2009.
