Kate winslet

She feels that the praise for her role as a junk food-loving detective in 'Mare of Easttown' means a "huge amount" because she was body shamed so much in her career earlier

The actress said her role is "a fully functioning, flawed woman with a body and a face that moves in a way that is synonymous with her age," reports dailymail.co.uk. "I think we're starved of that a bit," she said of the scarcity of realistic female bodies on film and television during an interview with the New York Times.

Winslet became a household name at the age of 21 after the success of the James Cameron film that cast her as Leonardo DiCaprio's romantic lead. Now, in the podcast WTF, the actress has spoken about the aftermath of her breakout role in her personal life
