Oscar winner Kate Winslet has been acting on the big and small screen for more than 30 years - and has now shared one of the stinkiest secrets about working in tinseltown
The 48-year-old Titanic star has been performing on screens since she was a teenager as she made her debut at age fifteen in the BBC series Dark Season in 1991. This weekend, she has returned to the cinema in new biographical drama film Lee - about the life and career of historic war correspondent Lee Miller, who lived from 1907 until 1977.
Recalling her time on the set of the film, which is the feature directorial debut of American cinematographer Ellen Kuras, the Oscar winning star explained that a bad smell lingered around the set. She also had to puff her way through the fake smokes for multiple scenes throughout the two hour film. But revealing the unfortunate aspect of the props, she added: "Herbal cigarettes actually don't smell very nice. They sort of smell a little bit like burning poo, to be honest. So it's a rather odd smell. But the smoke lingers in the air.”
