LOS ANGELES — Kate Winslet is finished flashing her skin on screen.
The 33-year-old actress says the time has come for her to stop shooting nude scenes — a revelation that comes on the heels of the Oscar favorite's latest on-screen flash in "The Reader."
"I think I won't do it again: a) I can't keep getting away with it, and b) I don't want to become 'that actress who always gets her kit off,' " Winslet reveals to Time magazine.
After winning a pair of Golden Globes for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, as well as Best Supporting Actress honors at the SAG Awards, Winslet heads into Sunday's Academy Awards as the overwhelming favorite to win Best Actress for her turn in "The Reader." While such accomplishments would equate to a full upcoming calendar for most, the six-time Oscar nominee says her next move remains a mystery.
"I know how long it's going to be before I feel, O.K., I really have to know what I'm doing next, or I'll freak out! I know myself, and it's only a matter of time," explains Winslet, who tells the magazine she's looking forward to spending some time at home with her husband, "Reader" director Sam Mendes, and her two children.
Whichever road she eventually chooses for her return, Winslet confesses that her career has come a long way since she shot to fame in her 20's behind the film "Titanic."
"With these roles, I've just closed a big chapter in my life," she says of her performances in both "The Reader" and "Revolutionary Road," a film that saw her reunite with her "Titanic" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. "I feel that only in the last two years could I look someone in the eye and say, 'I know how to act' and really maybe mean it."
After a pause, Winslet adds: "Notice I said maybe."
