Kate Winslet has a remarkable professional career. She rose to fame with her role in James Cameron’s filmTitanic` and gained further recognition for her performances in `Finding Neverland`, `Little Children`, `The Holiday` and many more. Kate received numerous accolades including an Academy Award, a Grammy Award and two Primetime Emmy Awards. In addition to numerous awards, the actress star has now received a lifetime achievement award at the Munich International Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The audience at the Deutsches Theater in Munich roared when… Winslet took to the stage to accept her award and spoke about the European premiere of her latest film, the Ellen Kuras biopic ‘Lee’, in which she plays war photographer Lee Miller.
“Lee” is a 2023 British biographical drama film directed by Ellen Kuras, adapted from the 1985 biography The Lives of Lee Miller by Antony Penrose. It stars Kate Winslet as war journalist Lee Miller. The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. It will be released in UK cinemas on 13 September 2024. “It’s like I’m a movie star!” Winslet said. “No, really, that’s not how I’m usually treated… I’m just going to enjoy it.”
David Kross, Winslet’s young German co-star in The Reader, presented her with the CineMerit award and recalled that they met “16 years ago, when I was just 17, had made only two films and had just finished school. And you were Kate Winslet.”
Kross shared how great it was to “celebrate turning 18 with you,” referring to a scene in The Reader, which was filmed on his 18th birthday, months after the rest of the film had wrapped, to allow Kross to come of age. “You were also my intimacy coordinator, a concept that didn’t even exist in those years,” she said. “Poor kid,” Winslet said, thanking Kross.
“We put you through a lot [on The Reader]before noting that she had “been that. I had been 17 [on her film debut Heavenly Creatures]”The Munich CineMerit award was given to Winslet’s life’s work – “You’ve won every award in the book, but this is the one you’re missing,” said the ceremony’s moderator – but the actress was particularly passionate about Lee, a project she has been working on for the best part of a decade and her first film as a fully credited producer.
“I can’t believe we made it,” she said of the film, which looks at a pivotal decade in Lee Miller’s life when the former model-turned-photographer transitioned into a war photographer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
