One reader's rave

"Thanks for the newspaper with your book review. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with this terrific piece of writing. It is beautiful, complex, scholarly. Only sorry Mr. Freire cannot read it!" -- Ailene

It's Kate Winslet's Birthday!

 


 

Actress Kate Winslet was born on this day in 1975. One of her best-known roles was in Titanic, whose opening she missed to attend the funeral of Stephen Tredre, her first love, after he died from bone cancer. He had urged her to break off their relationship so that she could focus on making the movie, but she subsequently expressed regret that she hadn’t been with him at the end. As related by T. Rivas in Positive Memories:

“British academy-award winning actress Kate Winslet had a relationship with her colleague Stephen Tredre that began when she was 15 and lasted for about five years, from 1991 to 1995. Tredre was almost 13 years her senior.

"Shortly after he died of cancer in 1997, Kate Winslet confessed he had been the love of her life.

“She confirmed this again for an interview in 2008 connected to her performance in The Reader:

“'He was very much the love of my life during those years.’"
