Kate Winslet is once again sharing her thoughts on male film bosses during the making of her new film Lee.
The 49-year-old actress, who is known for her groundbreaking role in 1997 Titanic, expressed frustration over her attempts to make men understand the women-centric project.
During the Zurich Film Festival, Kate said, “We didn’t have anything handed to us on a plate. I did come up against people, forgive me – men – who just didn’t understand what this film was.
“It’s about a woman who was challenged, who doesn’t look like a pretty picture for most of the film, who was getting down and dirty with life. I did have a potential financier say to me: ‘So, why should I like this woman?’ Okay, so not you then.”
Recounting an instance from the sets of her latest film, the actress, who plays model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller in the biopic of the same name, recalled, “One director wanted to make a film I really wasn’t sure about. He said: ‘If you make it, I’ll help you get your ‘little Lee Miller film ‘ funded.’ Again – NO! You won’t help me, go away. I wasn’t going to work with people Lee wouldn’t have approved of.”
This isn’t Winslet’s first time speaking out against male dominance in the industry, she has consistently advocated for women’s empowerment across all areas.
