She's an asshole but she's a great actress.

I just wish she'd chose really interesting roles instead of obviously award-bait ones.

This lol. Do people still say “this”? Kate is my bff’s hall pass and I totally get it but damn, she makes it hard to root for her.

[jensonanckles]

Yeah, I could also have said "She's a great actress but she's an asshole" like, I can't decide what is her most defining trait lol

[lamppost1911]

I hate to say it but she’s a fucking great actress and that’s her defining trait. I’m sure people will disagree (and rightfully so) and when I initially see her I think “that’s Kate Winslet!” I do get lost in the sauce that is her talent.

She's english, and considering the classicism that runs rampant in that field over there I believe her.

yesh not being trained is a real flex coming from the uk. good for her.

[teaaet]

Kaya Scodelario always acts this way about her own success too, pointing out she's not trained. It's sad.

[ginainabottle]

in Kaya’s case the lack of training is abundantly obvious tho lol i like her but she’s a terrible actress.

Tbf from what I read she really doesn’t come from money. She had managed to get into one of the local acting school around her area but she was forced to leave because due to lack of funds. So she really did get lucky when she landed Heavenly Creatures.

Here’s young Kate

Yea, totally laughed thinking that she was saying she was “just a Skeet Ulrich who got lucky” at first.

Really liked her in Lee, but tbh, I like her in just about everything. I've never seen Mildred Pierce, should probably check that out at some point!

[false_hate]

Mildred Pierce is an easy watch, an episode too long but very entertaining.

[senshi_forever]

Mildred Pearce is worth watching imo! She was great in Mares of Easttown too.

[scriptedending]

oh yeah, loved Mare!
