Kate Winslet: “I just suddenly realized it can’t be a man” on Why She Could Never Allow a Male Director for ‘Lee’ After Years of Development Hell
Kate Winslet doesn’t play around when it comes to her projects. After years of battling through development hell for Lee, she made one thing crystal clear: a male director wasn’t going to cut it.Kate Winslet in a still from The Regime | Credits: HBO

Kate Winslet wasn’t playing around when it came to Lee. Having spent years bringing this passion project to life, she knew it couldn’t be a man.
The Titanic actress insisted that Ellen Kuras, a cinematographer she worked with on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, take the director…
After years of development hell, Kate Winslet has finally brought her passion project, ‘Lee’, to the screen. But one thing she could never allow was a male director at the helm.In a recent interview, Winslet opened up about her decision to only work with female directors on the film. She explained, “I just suddenly realized it can’t be a man. It just can’t. This story is so personal to me, and I needed a female perspective to truly capture its essence.”
‘Lee’ tells the story of a woman who struggles with her identity and societal expectations. The film delves into themes of gender, sexuality, and the complexities of the human experience. Winslet poured her heart and soul into the project, and she knew that only a female director could truly understand and convey the emotional depth of the story.
After facing numerous obstacles and setbacks in getting ‘Lee’ made, Winslet was determined to see it through to the end. She fought for creative control and made it clear that a male director was simply not an option. And her dedication paid off, as the film has received critical acclaim and has resonated with audiences around the world.
Winslet’s decision to only work with female directors on ‘Lee’ speaks to the importance of diverse voices in the film industry. By supporting and empowering women behind the camera, she is helping to create a more inclusive and representative cinematic landscape.
So, when it comes to ‘Lee’, Kate Winslet made it clear that she would settle for nothing less than a female director. And her unwavering commitment to her vision has resulted in a powerful and poignant film that will leave a lasting impact on audiences for years to come.

#Kate #Winslet #suddenly #realized #man #Male #Director #Lee #Years #Development #HellAt The Movies: Kate Winslet shines in Lee, an uneven biopic of pioneering war photographer
Lee (NC16)
117 minutes, opens on Jan 16
★★★☆☆The story: This biopic of Lee Miller opens in 1938, with the American model and photographer (Kate Winslet) living with her lover, artist Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgard), in London. When Germany invades France, the lives of Miller’s friends, including fashion editor Solange D’Ayen (Marion Cotillard) and artist Nusch Eluard (Noemie Merlant) are in danger. In bombed-out London, Miller shoots morale-boosting images of women in national defence, for British Vogue editor Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough). But Miller yearns to be a war correspondent, despite rules preventing women from entering combat zones. She eventually finds a way to the front line, partners photojournalist David Scherman (Andy Samberg) and creates images that will earn her a place in history.
From 1938 to 1945, Miller lived a lifetime. She went from hedonist to hero. This biopic makes clear that the two contrasting halves of her life – she is at first a pleasure-seeking bohemian, then becomes a relentless war photojournalist – comes from the same wound in her psyche.
Today, one might say she had complex post-traumatic stress disorder, or use some other psychological term to explain her mood swings and appetites, in particular the trail of emotional rubble she left in her wake for lovers and family members to clear up.
This movie covers her flaws and triumphs, and goes so far as to say that without her inner turmoil, she might not have gone to document some of mankind’s worst atrocities at the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps.
Rather than diminish Miller’s achievements by saying her demons pushed her to greatness, American cinematographer-turned-director Ellen Kuras, making her feature film debut, makes sure to state that Miller had a great eye for composition and storytelling, a skill honed at fashion magazines. Miller’s sense of aesthetics made her photographs uniquely powerful. Kuras’ telling of the story is sensitive, but suffers from pacing issues.
In war-torn Europe, Miller encountered starving and abused women and, often, she was their first source of help. The screenplay is adapted from a 1985 biography written by her son Antony Penrose, and mentions her post-war depressive episodes.
Winslet was born to play Miller, a character similar to other damaged women she has portrayed, such as the title character in the detective series Mare Of Easttown (2021) and former Nazi guard Hanna Schmitz from period drama The Reader (2008), for which she won a Best Actress Oscar.

The British star’s Miller is a compelling blend of vulnerability and toughness, but she can be unlikeable. Viewers might admire her guts or be taken in by the power of her photographs, but they are never asked to pity her.
Hot take: Winslet fully embodies her subject in a haunting biopic that charts how the fearless chronicler of World War II’s darkest horrors was born.

At The Movies: Kate Winslet shines in Lee, an uneven biopic of pioneering war photographerIn the new film Lee, Kate Winslet delivers a powerful performance as the iconic war photographer Lee Miller. The film chronicles Miller’s groundbreaking work capturing the horrors of war and her struggles to be taken seriously in a male-dominated industry.
Winslet’s portrayal of Miller is both fierce and vulnerable, capturing the complexities of a woman who defied societal norms to pursue her passion. Her performance is a reminder of why she is one of the most talented actresses of her generation.
However, despite Winslet’s standout performance, Lee is a somewhat uneven biopic. The film’s pacing is slow at times, and some of the supporting characters feel underdeveloped. Additionally, the film’s portrayal of Miller’s personal life feels overly dramatized at times, taking away from the impact of her professional accomplishments.
Overall, Lee is worth watching for Winslet’s performance alone. Her portrayal of Lee Miller is a testament to the resilience and determination of women who paved the way for future generations of female photographers. While the film may have its flaws, Winslet’s performance is a shining example of her talent and dedication to her craft.

Kate Beckinsale says Blake Lively’s complaint highlights actress treatment
Blake Lively is far from the only actress who’s ever had uncomfortable experiences on a film set. In the wake of the It Ends With Us star’s legal complaint against her costar and director Justin Baldoni for alleged mistreatment during production of the Colleen Hoover adaptation, Kate Beckinsale took to Instagram to share her own experiences with being harassed for complaining about poor working conditions on film sets.
Beckinsale stressed that she did not know Lively or Baldoni personally, and was not privy to confidential information about the workings of the It Ends With Us set. But Lively’s complaint (which alleges, among other things, that Baldoni sexually harassed her on set and subsequently organized a media smear campaign against her) reminded her of a pattern of misogyny she’s witnessed firsthand.
“What this has highlighted is this machine that goes into effect when a woman complains about something legitimately offensive, upsetting, harmful, or whatever else in this industry,” Beckinsale said in an Instagram Reel. “I’ve been on a film, for example, where by the end of it I was referred to over walkie-talkies and to my face as ‘that c—,’ because I had said, ‘I’m finding it very difficult, my costar is drunk every day and he’s obviously going through something and I have full sympathy for that, but I’m also waiting, as is the whole crew, six hours a day for him to learn his lines and it means I’m not getting to see my daughter in the evenings for the whole movie.”
Beckinsale continued, “the studio’s response was to give me a bike so that I could ride around the studio lot while I was waiting. And then, of course, I was called a c— and a b—-.”

Beckinsale didn’t identify any of these movies or directors she referenced by name (other than infamous convicted predator Harvey Weinstein), but she had several stories that apparently came from multiple different projects.
“I was put on such a strict exercise program on one movie that I lost my periods altogether,” Beckinsale said. “That’s happened twice.”
Beckinsale has performed in a variety of different genres since making her film debut in Kenneth Branagh’s 1993 adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, but is perhaps best known for action films like Van Helsing and the Underworld franchise. She also played Hollywood legend Ava Gardner in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator and collaborated with director Whit Stillman on The Last Days of Disco and his 2016 Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship.
In the wake of the MeToo movement that began with the New York Times‘ Weinstein exposé in 2017, many have said that Hollywood has gotten better in its treatment of women. But over the course of Beckinsale’s 30-year career, she says things haven’t changed as much as we might like to think.
“What’s really depressing is I see a lot of men going around saying, ‘oh it was very different awhile ago. The climate’s so different and it’s so much better.’ It f—ing isn’t!” Beckinsale said. “If you’re a woman and you have a legitimate complaint…like ‘somebody’s touching my boobs’ or ‘calling me a c—,’ you’re f—-d. If you mention it, you’re f—-d. It’s supposed to be that you absorb it and then you’re the homie. That has to stop. And I’m grateful to Blake Lively for highlighting the fact that this is not an archaic problem…this is continuing. And then when it does happen, a machine goes into place to absolutely destroy you.”
Watch Beckinsale’s full Reel below.
Kate Beckinsale recently spoke out in support of Blake Lively, highlighting the mistreatment that actresses often face in the industry.

She called for greater accountability and respect in the industry, urging for a more inclusive and equitable environment for all actresses.
Beckinsale’s words serve as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles that actresses face in Hollywood, and the need for continued advocacy and solidarity among women in the industry. As more actresses speak out against mistreatment and discrimination, it is clear that change is not only necessary, but long overdue.

Kate Beckinsale Once Had to Do Photo Shoot While Bleeding After Miscarriage
- Kate Beckinsale is sharing details about harrowing experiences she has had in Hollywood, including once being “forced” to do a photo shoot right after suffering a miscarriage
- Other examples include being called a “c—” and “bitch” on a movie set after inquiring about a fellow actor’s behavior and how it affected her and others’ personal time
- The actress is speaking out in the context of Blake Lively’s newly filed legal complaint against Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment on the set of their movie It Ends with Us
Kate Beckinsale is speaking out about her own harrowing on-set experiences, in the wake of the sexual-harassment complaint that Blake Lively recently filed against Justin Baldoni.
The actress opened up in a candid video posted to her Instagram grid on Dec. 29, where she said that while she has never met It Ends with Us costars Lively and Baldoni, their situation has “highlighted … this machine that goes into effect when a woman complains about something legitimately offensive, upsetting, harmful, whatever, in this industry.”
One example, said Beckinsale, 51, is that she was once “forced by a publicist, that I was employing, to do a photo shoot the day after I’d had a miscarriage.”
“I said, ‘I can’t. I’m bleeding. I don’t want to go and change my clothes in front of people I don’t know and do a photo shoot. I’m bleeding out a miscarriage,’ ” the Underworld actress said. “She was like, ‘You’ll have to, or you’ll be sued.’ “
Beckinsale also revealed that she was once on the set of a film “where I was referred to, by the end of it, both over the walkie-talkie and to my face to as ‘that c—,’ because I said, ‘I’m finding it very difficult — my costar is drunk every day and he’s obviously going through something and I have full sympathy for that, but I’m also waiting, as is the whole crew, six hours a day, for him to learn his lines. And it means I’m not getting to see my daughter in the evenings, ever, for the whole movie.’ ”
While she didn’t name the film project, she said that in response, the studio gave her a bike to ride around the lot while waiting, and that she was once called a “stupid bitch” during a take.
Of other experiences, Beckinsale said, “I was put on such a strict diet-and-exercise program on one movie that I lost my periods altogether — that’s happened twice.”
She also recalled being put in “unsafe fight situation on two different films with two different actors,” to the point where she had “MRIs proving” she was seriously hurt.

According to Beckinsale, she has been “gaslit and made to feel like I was a problem” and “blamed and ostracized” from cast gatherings, “as soon as I mentioned there was a problem,” including being blacklisted by Harvey Weinstein at one point. (Though she noted she was “one of the ones fortunate enough” to not be assaulted by him.)
The Pearl Harbor star also said she was “felt up by somebody I really trusted on a crew” when she was 18, and the “lead actress” and another actress on the movie both told her it didn’t happen.
Beckinsale went on to say she has “about 47 million stories similar to” the ones she shared and that while men often tell her things are different on set nowadays, “it f—ing isn’t.”
“I’m grateful to Blake Lively for highlighting that this is not an archaic problem that no one’s facing — this is continuing,” she said. “And then when it does happen, a machine goes into place to absolutely destroy you. And I’m sure that’s the case in other industries as well, and it’s just got to stop.”
Beckinsale, who has been open about health challenges in her past, presented her video alongside a lengthy caption that read in part, “Complaining about abuse should not beget more abuse, particularly at work where there should be inviolable safeguarding in place, and it should not be expected of women who have been harmed, insulted, hurt, shamed or in any other way abused (mostly with at least 100 witnesses) to have to be ‘one of the boys’ and take it on the chin or face retribution for having been abused in the first place.”

“I don’t want anybody, male or female who has a legitimate complaint to then have that weaponized against them in any industry, anywhere, and I mention this in association with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni because our industry makes things more visible due to the press and the public getting deliberately involved and led towards an opinion they don’t realize is deliberate,” she added.
In a bombshell complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department on Dec. 20, lawyers for Lively claimed Baldoni, whose production company, Wayfarer Studios, developed It Ends with Us, sexually harassed the actress and then retaliated against her with a smear campaign after she spoke up.
The filing — a prerequisite before bringing a workplace harassment lawsuit in the state of California — sets the stage for what has the potential to be an ugly legal battle and shines a light on allegations of ongoing sexism in Hollywood years after the #MeToo movement.
“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively said in a statement to The New York Times.
Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman called the allegations “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt” in a Dec. 21 statement.
In a heartbreaking revelation, actress Kate Beckinsale recently opened up about a difficult moment in her life when she had to do a photo shoot while bleeding after suffering a miscarriage.
The 47-year-old actress shared this personal story on social media, reflecting on the emotional pain she endured during that time. Beckinsale wrote, "Years ago, I had a miscarriage and I went to a photoshoot while bleeding and quite frankly being quite brutalized by s***ty paparazzi. The next day, a doctor told me I could have died."
This candid confession sheds light on the challenges and pressures faced by women in the public eye, as well as the stigma surrounding miscarriages and women’s health issues. Beckinsale’s honesty and vulnerability serve as a reminder that behind the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, there are real people dealing with real struggles.
It takes immense strength to share such a personal and painful experience, and Kate Beckinsale’s bravery in speaking out is admirable. Let’s continue to support and uplift each other, especially during times of hardship and loss.

Kate Beckinsale Says She Was ‘Forced’ to Do a Photo Shoot While ‘Bleeding’ After a Miscarriage
Daniele Venturelli/Getty Images
Kate Beckinsale is feeling “grateful” towards Blake Lively in the wake of her bombshell lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. In a lengthy Instagram video posted on December 29, the 51-year-old actor praised Lively for “highlighting” what happens to women in Hollywood that speak out about abuse.
On December 21, Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director, accusing Baldoni and another Wayfarer Studios executive of launching a smear campaign to “destroy” her reputation after she complained about sexual misconduct and other inappropriate behavior during filming.
Though Baldoni’s lawyer has denied these allegations, Lively’s full complaint cites a number of alleged email and text exchanges between Baldoni’s PR team as evidence. In one alleged text exchange with crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan (who previously represented Johnny Depp), another publicist said Baldoni “wants to feel like [Lively] can be buried.”

Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, and the ‘It Ends With Us’ Controversies, Explained
Four months after the film’s release, Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment.
“If you’re a woman and you have a legitimate complaint—not, ‘I don’t have enough baby llamas in my trailer, and I’d like more of a lion’—but, ‘somebody’s touching my boobs’ or ‘calling me a c-nt,’ or ‘calling me a bitch,’ or whatever, you’re fucked,” Beckinsale said in her video. “If you mention it, you’re fucked…that has to stop.”
The Serendipity star, who previously spoke out against Harvey Weinstein in 2020, went on to share some other harrowing experiences in Hollywood, claiming she was repeatedly referred to as “that c-nt” on the set of a film for complaining that her “drunk” costar’s behavior was holding up production and keeping her from getting home to her daughter.
On two separate films, Beckinsale said she was put in “very unsafe” fight sequences with co-stars that caused her physical harm. As soon as she mentioned there was a problem, the actor said she “was gaslit and made to feel like I was the problem, blamed and ostracized, left out of cast dinners, not spoken to.”
While discussing her own relationship with Hollywood’s PR “machine,” she recalled being “forced by a publicist, that I was employing, to do a photo shoot the day after I’d had a miscarriage.” She continued, “I said, ‘I can’t. I’m bleeding. I don’t want to go and change my clothes in front of people I don’t know and do a photo shoot. I’m bleeding out a miscarriage.’”
According to Beckinsale, the publicist responded, “You’ll have to, or you’ll be sued.”
While Kate Beckinsale says she doesn’t know Blake Lively or Justin Baldoni, she’s all too familiar with the backlash women face for advocating for themselves on set. “I’m grateful to Blake Lively for highlighting the fact that this is not an archaic problem that no one’s facing,” she said. “This is continuing. And then when it does happen, a machine goes into place to absolutely destroy you. And I’m sure that’s the case in other industries as well. And it’s just got to stop.”

Actress Kate Beckinsale has bravely spoken out about a traumatic experience she had during a photo shoot following a miscarriage. In a recent interview, the 48-year-old star revealed that she was “forced” to do the shoot while she was “bleeding.”Beckinsale opened up about the heartbreaking incident, explaining that she had suffered a miscarriage just days before the scheduled photo shoot. Despite her physical and emotional pain, she was pressured into going ahead with the shoot.

Adobe Notes: How To Keep The Weather Out With Just Plain MudIn the year 1930, Kate DNS, a skilled adobe builder, shared her expertise on how to protect adobe homes from the elements using nothing but mud. In a time when resources were scarce and innovation was key, Kate’s simple yet effective method proved to be a game-changer for many homeowners.
The key to keeping the weather out of adobe homes lies in the quality of the mud used. Kate emphasized the importance of using a mixture of clay, sand, and straw to create a strong and durable mud plaster. This mixture, when applied properly to the exterior walls of the adobe home, acts as a protective barrier against rain, wind, and other harsh weather conditions.
Kate also highlighted the significance of maintaining the mud plaster regularly to ensure its effectiveness. Cracks and gaps in the plaster should be promptly filled in with fresh mud to prevent water from seeping into the walls and causing damage.
In a time when modern construction materials were not readily available, Kate’s method of using plain mud to protect adobe homes was not only practical but also sustainable. Her knowledge and skills have stood the test of time, proving that sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective.
So, if you’re looking to protect your adobe home from the weather, take a page out of Kate DNS’s book and give mud plastering a try. You might just be surprised at how well it works.
