Kate Winslet Finished Flashing Skin on Camera
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."

Kate Winslet On Being Nude, Reuniting with Leonardo DiCaprio
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Kate Winslet admits that she was struggling on the inside as she skyrocketed to fame opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997's "Titanic."
At the time, Winslet's first love, actor and writer Stephen Tredre, was dying from cancer, making for an emotional rollercoaster in both her personal and professional life.
"I was so young, and I wasn't ready for any of that," the 33-year-old actress reveals in an interview with Parade.
Winslet would go on to marry director Jim Threapleton in 1998. The couple welcomed a daughter, Mia, in 2000, before splitting a year later.
"I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner," she explains. "It was a difficult balance to find."
Winslet eventually found that balance in the arms of director Sam Mendes, whom she married in 2003. Together, the pair has a 4-year-old son, Joe.
"Having children just puts the whole world into perspective," Winslet tells the magazine. "Everything else just disappears. For my own children, I do want for them to look back and remember that it was me in the kitchen, that I was doing the packed lunches, that we were there on the school run, that we did take a bus. I want them to remember those things, because those are the things that I remember from my own childhood and that have been incredibly important to me.
"I also think that those are the things that children need in order to become normal kids. I don't want them to feel that they are any different because of my job or Sam's job."
During the course of her career, the British star has never shied from baring it all on screen. Her nude ways have even drawn the attention of Halle Berry, who recently said of Winslet: "I want to be the kind of actress who can really be comfortable with my body like that."
"That's so amazing," Winslet says when told of Berry's remark. "That is worth the pain! I am thrilled to hear someone like Halle say something like that. But what I would want to say to her is, 'Well, you can,' because all I do is say, 'I don't give a ****!' "
Winslet will soon reunite with her "Titanic" co-star in Mendes' "Revolutionary Road." She tells Parade that it was a thrill seeing how much she and DiCaprio have changed since they last worked together more than a decade ago.
"I'm like, 'Yes, damn it! Look at those foreheads move!' " she says. "I mean, he has this amazing furrow [between his brows], which wasn't as prominent then.
"I just love seeing those things. I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realizing that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn't as well-oiled as it was."
