Kate Winslet (born 5 October 1975, Reading, England) is one of the most decorated British actresses of her generation, known for playing headstrong, morally complex women across independent film and prestige television. Her haul of major awards - an Oscar, two Emmys, five BAFTAs, five Golden Globes and a Grammy - reflects a career built on deliberate, often unconventional choices rather than blockbuster comfort. In 2025 she added a new dimension to her work, making her feature directorial debut with the Netflix family drama Goodbye June, which she also produced and starred in.
Winslet won a National Film Award UK for Goodbye June in July 2026.
Goodbye June, Winslet's feature directorial debut for Netflix, was released in UK/US cinemas on 12 December 2025 and began streaming on Netflix on 24 December 2025.
Avatar: Fire and Ash, in which Winslet reprised her role as Ronal, grossed approximately $1.486 billion worldwide after its December 2025 release.
Goodbye June received mixed critical reviews, scoring 64% on Rotten Tomatoes from 90 critics and 54/100 on Metacritic.
Principal photography on Goodbye June began on 17 March 2025 in the United Kingdom; the screenplay was written by Winslet's son Joe Anders.
