Kate Winslet
Unlike many others in the industry, coming from a family of aspiring actors, Kate Winslet knew she wanted to be an actress from a young age. Kate’s grandparents were the founders and managers of the Reading Repertory Theater in England, and her father was an actor. Both her sisters are actresses as well, though not at renowned as she became after her memorable roles in Sense and Sensibility and later in Titanic.
Kate was a talented actress, but for her dismay, New York is full of them, and so as she auditioned to different roles, never letting rejection get her down, Winslet had to find a temporary job. She found a rather interesting one: she worked as a sandwich maker at a delicatessen. Making tasty sandwiches has nothing to do with acting, but it’s a skill that requires talent, and so now we know Kate Winslet isn’t just a gifted actress, but a woman of many talents.
