| Kate Elizabeth Winslet - Happy Mood in a Party |
In the start of 1996, Kate Winslet starred in both
Jude and
Hamlet. In Michael Winterbottom's Jude, basically based on the Victorian novel Jude the authored by Thomas Hardy, she played Sue Bridehead, a young woman with suffragette leanings who falls in love with her closed cousin, played by Christopher Eccleston. Acclaimed among critics, it was not a successful hit at the box-office, almost grossing US$2 million {$2.8 million} worldwide. Richard Corliss of Time magazine said, "Kate Elizabeth is worthy of the camera's scrupulous adoration. She's perfectly perfect, a modernist ahead of her age and Jude is a handsome showcase for her gifts. K. Winslet played Ophelia, Hamlet's drowned lover, in Kenneth Branagh's all star-cast film version of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The film garnered largely +ve reviews and earned Winslet her second Empire Award. It was really the great achievement.

In mid-1996, Winslet began filming James Cameron's
Titanic, released in 1997, it was a superb hit love story, with Leonardo DiCaprio. Cast as the sensitive 17 year old Rose DeWitt Bukater, a fictional first class socialite who survives the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic, Kate Winslet experience was emotionally demanding. This film Titanic was totally different and nothing could have prepared me for it. We were really scared about the whole adventure.Jim, Cameron is a perfectionist, a real intelligent at making movies. But there was all this bad press before it came out, and that was really depressing and upsetting. Against expectations, the film went on to become the highest grossing budget film of all time, grossing more than US$1.843 billion {$2.6 billion} in the box office receipts worldwide, and transformed Kate Winslet into a commercial movie super star. Subsequently, she was nominated for most of the high-profile awards, winning a European Film Award.
