Winslet to star in TV series ‘Mildred Pierce’?

Kate Winslet is set to star in a TV series of the film ‘Mildred Pierce’.

London: English actress Kate Winslet is reportedly set to star in a US TV mini-series of the 1945 film ‘Mildred Pierce’. Winslet, 33, is said to be on the verge of signing up for the film, which landed screen legend Joan Crawford an Oscar.

“At 33, Kate would be young to play the mother of a late-teenage daughter but she would be great at nailing the compassion and the hard edges of the role,” a news daily quoted a film insider as saying. Winslet’s last TV role was in 2005, playing a parody of herself in Ricky Gervais’s Extras. ANI
