Kate Winslet is often drawn to a wide variety of roles. But earlier in the actor’s career, Winslet found herself gravitating towards smaller parts in films. If only because her husband at the time didn’t want her to be too big of a star.

Winslet met her first husband on the set of her 1998 drama Hideous Kinky. Jim Threapleton worked as an assistant director on the feature, and quickly hit it off with the Oscar winner. Threapleton and Winslet would marry in 1998, and share a daughter in Mia Threapleton. Their marriage would last a couple of years before the two would officially part ways in 2001.
Winslet has always kept her relationships very private, so she’d never divulged the source of her divorce from Threapleton. But...

Kate Winslet took to the red carpet for the premiere of Titanic 3D in London on Tuesday night - 15 years after a bout of dysentery caused her to miss the original U.K. launch.
The actress was joined by Billy Zane and director James Cameron at the Royal Albert Hall event and she was all smiles at finally attending a big premiere.
Winslet missed out on the Los Angeles launch of the film in 1997 to mourn the death of her ex-boyfriend Stephen Tredre, who lost his battle with cancer.
She was subsequently forced to skip the U.K. premiere because she was in hospital after contracting dysentery while filming Hideous Kinky in Morocco - but 15 years on, she has finally hit the red carpet for a Titanic launch.
Producer Jon Landau told reporters, "I'm so excited that we're here with Kate Winslet because she wasn't here the first time we premiered the movie. So that fact that she's here to support the film is very exciting."
Cameron flew into London for the premiere from Guam, where earlier this week (begs26Mar12) he performed the deepest ever solo submarine dive.
