Though the titular ship sunk, the careers of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio took off like Rose flying over the Atlantic after the release of James Cameron’s 1997 romantic disaster drama, Titanic. While DiCaprio would immediately set sail for other big-budget films like The Man in the Iron Mask and The Beach, solidifying his place as a young sex symbol in Hollywood, Winslet shied away from larger roles and instead chose to go the indie film route. Although she’s previously spoken out about the harassment and body-shaming that she went through during this time in her life, in a recent interview with Net-a-Porter, Winslet opened up about why she opted for smaller projects like Gillies MacKinnon’s Hideous Kinky and Jane Campion’s Holy Smoke! during such a booming time in her career.
