Moore had already passed on The Vertical Hour—although she found the play “brilliant,” she told Mendes that her filming schedule made it impossible to say yes. “And I thought, I shouldn’t have read it!” Moore groans at the memory. Then she bumped into Mendes’s wife, Kate Winslet, at the preschool the two actresses’ children attend, mentioned how disappointed she was, and Winslet fanned the project back to life.Oh, the ways in which The Winslet continues to bless us all! We're definitely well into quadruple digits of reasons to love her.

Even more reason to look forward to Little Children, then!
god love that woman.

Winslet plays a nun in a Holocaust movie "because it's guaranteed to win me an Oscar. Schindler's bloody List, The Pianist, all won Oscars... I've had four nominations and everyone's going 'why hasn't Winslet got one?'" She's just brilliant. Definitely worth seeing.
