Kate channels Catherine

The second i picked up December’s Vanity Fair, I said “Wow, she looks like Catherine Deneuve,” not knowing yet that that was the intended effect of Kate Winslet posing with tousled but stiff blond hair with little more than an unbuttoned white coat on, sitting in that charming way Catherine would.

I’ve always had a special fondness for Kate, especially since she set off on her journey of serious film making. Her unaffected, unassuming and disarmingly soft nature was refreshing to see in an industry reeking of affectation. But alas, my enchantment was not to last long! I have yet to read the full feature in Vanity Fair, but one quote sufficed to bring me back from ‘Pleasantville’: When asked about a possible Oscar win this year, Kate responded with, ” Do i want an Oscar? You bet your fucking ass I do.”

Deneuve image shattered!

Really Kate, there is no need for vulgarity, especially while paying hommage to one of film’s most elegant and fascinating women.
