Kate Winslet says she never felt like she belonged in the world of Hollywood. And even after starring in the hugely successful Titanic alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, she'd struggle to get through the door at auditions.

Looking back on the early days of her career, the 45-year-old Oscar winner said she was "the overweight girl who would always be at the end of the line".

Kate opened up as she took part in a panel discussion with Michelle Pfeiffer, Rashida Jones, Vanessa Kirby and Andra Day for the Los Angeles Times.

Talking about landing her role in James Cameron's Titanic in 1997, she said: "I was playing an American for the first time. And working with Leo, who I’d seen in [What’s Eating] Gilbert Grape and Basketball Diaries.

Mare Of Easttown Trailer: Kate Winslet Stars In A Craig Zobel-Directed Crime Thriller Coming To HBO April 18

With the stigma of movie actors on TV long gone—though arguably, it was Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon on “Big Little Lies” in 2017 that really sent that message home for female actors—the floodgates have really opened for huge stars to be on TV. One, returning to the medium, arguably a forerunner to this trend, is Academy Award, Emmy, and Golden Globe-winner Kate Winslet, who starred in Todd Haynes’ 2011 HBO mini-series adaptation of “Mildred Pierce.” That series was so ahead of the curve in terms of the era of peak TV and peak Streaming, it really wasn’t an event that was watched—at least not to the degree shows of this ilk normally are.
