Craig Zobel, director of ‘Mare of Easttown’, looked at the footage and had an idea: soften a sex scene where Kate Winslet’s belly was visible. He wanted her to look “more flattering”. Winslet said no.
The British actress, 45, and Oscar winner for ‘The Reader’, had been fighting this battle quietly for years.
In 2015, she had already contractually demanded that L’Oréal stop digitally retouching her photos as the brand’s face. In an interview with The New York Times, she revealed something more intimate: as a teenager, an acting teacher told her that her future lay in playing “fat girl” roles.
Years later, the same woman who made millions dream in ‘Titanic’ decided that her unedited body would appear on the HBO screen exactly as it is.
Not one curve more, not one less. 🎬✨
