Kate Winslet will soon hit the 30-year mark in the Hollywood industry. Ahead of her upcoming war movie releasing next month, the actress looked back at her career and claimed herself to be lucky to have landed the opportunities and the projects that she did.

In conversation with People Magazine, the veteran actress reflected back on her days in 1994 before Winslet went on to appear in her debut movie, Heavenly Creatures. After receiving acclaim from both the public and critics, the Hollywood star felt more confident and was able to become well-known in the entertainment industry.  

As the Titanic star sat down for a chat with the media portal, Winslet revealed, “I was kind of a little street urchin who got lucky, really.” She further added, “I'm a very unlikely success story, to be quite honest with you. I don't come from money. There isn't a great pedigree of performers behind me. I wasn't trained.”

Winslet comes from a working-class family and grew up amongst three sisters. The actress had been fond of acting since the early days, and had a knack for it. The actress signed her first role of the career in 1994, when she was 19 years old. Winslet played the role of Juliet Hulme in the Heavenly Creatures.


Progressing into the conversation, Kate mentioned that she had always loved acting, and doing it more often than the early days, the feelings for the passion remain the same. The 48-year-old actress further stated,  “I always loved acting. I still love it. I love it more and more all the time. It's an extraordinary thing that I get to do with my life and an extraordinary thing that I love.”
