Kate Winslet on Tapping Into Grief, Guilt and Trauma for HBO’s ‘Mare of Easttown’
Danielle Turchiano Senior Features Editor, TVKate Winslet spent two years with the character of Mare Sheehan, a small town cop, mother and grandmother for HBO’s limited series “Mare of Easttown.” Becoming this woman wasn’t just about adopting a Delaware County accent, pulling her hair back into a ponytail, keeping her face free of makeup and never drinking water (look closely, Winslet says, it’s all coffee and beer) — although those were all essential elements for Winslet, too — it was also about tapping into a deep sense of grief and guilt over the loss of her character’s adult son to suicide.
