Kate Winslet was happy to be stark naked
If you got an eyeful of Kate Winslet in her Oscar-winning role in The Reader, she wants you to know she's glad, since being nude for the role was no biggie.
"If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that's great," she says in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar. But there's an expiration date for everything.
"I'll be 34 in October. I can't keep getting away with (nudity)," she says. "There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back."
To what does she owe her longevity in an industry that shucks actresses like ears of corn? Being careful: "When everyone was out getting plastered, I didn't do all of that. I was working. I was doing life," she adds. "Now that I look back, I feel very lucky. I've never taken drugs, never been offered cocaine."
Wow, always taking off her clothes on camera and drug-free -- what a role model for today's young starlets.
