Her grandparents, Oliver and Linda Bridges, founded and operated the Reading Repertory theater; father Roger Winslet and mum Sally were both actors; uncle Robert Bridges appeared in the original West End production of Oliver!; and both her sisters Beth and Anna are actors.
Kate Winslet younger brother Joss is probably the only Winslet that did not enter the family business. She made her debut at age 11, when she costarred with the "Honey Monster" in a commercial for a children's breakfast. After acting lessons and a graduation from a performing arts high school, Kate took to the stage in productions of Adrian Mole and Peter Pan. In 2009, Winslet earned her sixth Academy Award nomination for Stephen Daldry's The Reader. Winslet went on to win the BAFTA Award for Best Actress, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for The Reader in the same year and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for Revolutionary Road.
