Kate Winslet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
She was cast as Clementine Kruczynski, a spontaneous extrovert in the 2004 American drama film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Storyline
For the location of Clementine, Winslet was cast against form. Instead of pandering to the actors, she was the only actress to give a critique of the story. Gondry took Winslet to different rooms after shooting to mentor her and she wore wigs instead of her hair dying. Some critics note how the character of Clementine criticizes the stock character of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl many years before the term was invented by film critic Nathan Rabin. Clementine appears to display symptoms of borderline personality disorder, but with this particular condition in mind, it is not clear if Kaufman wrote her character. After another actor received an Oscar, the role was offered to Winslet.
Kate Winslet Finding Neverland
She appeared as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies in the 2004 historical fantasy drama film Finding Neverland.
Storyline
In 1903, in Kensington Gardens, Barrie met the widowed Sylvia and her four young sons. For the boys, he proves to be a wonderful playmate and surrogate dad figure. Their inventive antics provide him with inspiration for a play about boys that do not want to grow up. His friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family is challenged by people who object to the amount of time he spends with them.
The movie begins with J. After Peter took off from the cemetery, M. Barrie discovered Peter on the bench in the park where they first met. Peter is keeping his book where he composed the plays for him that he had broken apart and his mother had put back together. They are both dying, and the bench is all that is left, and they are both fading to death. The last scene features the family at Sylvia’s funeral and the boys from the dining room and back garden heading towards Neverland. At the end of the action, the play ends with Peter Pan and his mum, where she takes her boys’ hands and walks slowly out of Neverland. Neverland becomes the living room, and Sylvia proceeds to walk to the edge on her own and continues to do so until she hits the end.

During the Great Depression, Mildred Pierce portrays an overprotective, self-sacrificing mother who finds herself divorced from her husband, opening a restaurant of her own, and falling in love with a stranger, all the while striving to win the love and respect of her spoiled, selfish older daughter.

As a first-class passenger, Rose boards the RMS Titanic with Cal and Ruth and greets Jack.
For the role, Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Gabrielle Anwar, and Reese Witherspoon were considered. The 22-year-old Winslet lobbied strongly for the role before they turned it down. She sent daily notes from England to Cameron, which prompted Cameron to invite her to auditions in Hollywood. “She whispered to Cameron after she checked the screen with DiCaprio, “Even if you don’t pick me, pick him.” Winslet sent a single rose to Cameron with a card marked, “From Your Rose,” and lobbied him by phone. Cameron identified the character as “an Audrey Hepburn type” and was unsure about casting Winslet at first. “I am Rose! I don’t know why you’re even seeing anyone else!” she told him. Ultimately, her determination and talent persuaded him to cast her in the role.
