Nude Titanic portrait still haunts me says Kate Winslet

Kate is now the youngest to land six Oscar nominations, winning Best Actress for The Reader in 2009 as well as two Baftas, a pair of Golden Globes and an Emmy

Titanic turned Kate Winslet into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars but there is one reminder of the blockbuster she hopes would sink without a trace.
In the film she famously draped herself naked over a sofa while Leonardo DiCaprio sketched her portrait.
That was 17 years ago and yet fans are still asking her to sign copies of the picture, said to have been drawn by Titanic’s director James Cameron.
Kate, 38, says: “I don’t sign that one.
“It feels very uncomfortable. Why would you do that?
“People ask me to sign that one a lot, and actually there’s a photo of it as well that someone’s lifted from a still of the film.
“That photo gets passed around. It’s like, ‘No, I didn’t mean for it to be a photograph that I would end up seeing 17 years later.’
“It is still haunting me. It’s quite funny, really.”
Since Titanic broke box-office records, Kate has become the youngest person to land six Oscar nominations, winning Best Actress for The Reader in 2009 as well as two Baftas, a pair of Golden Globes and an Emmy.
But her private life seems to make headlines as often as her stellar career.
Four months ago the arrival of baby Bear Blaze made it three children by three husbands.
Bear’s dad is the oddly named Ned Rocknroll , nephew of Virgin boss Richard Branson, who works for his uncle’s space travel firm.
The pair met on holiday on Branson’s Necker island in 2011, when Kate helped rescue Sir Richard’s 90-year-old mum from a house fire, and wed in December 2012.
She also has a daughter Mia, 13, from her marriage to film director Jim Threapleton, 41, and a son Joe, 10, with second husband Sam Mendes, 48.
Kate is happy with her unusual family arrangement but her proud declaration that her kids live with her full time has sparked criticism from militant fathers’ rights campaigners.
She told Vogue in October: “People go, ‘Oh, my God! Those poor children! They must have gone through so much’.
“Says who? They’ve always been with me. They don’t go from pillar to post – they’re not flown here and there with nannies.
“That’s never happened.
“My kids don’t go back and forth – none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads – my children live with me, that is it.”
But her comments enraged Fathers4Justice , which planned to run an advert carrying her quotes, a photo and the message: “Kate, every child deserves their father this Christmas.”
Kate threatened to sue the campaigners, who were backed in 2004 by Jim Threapleton.
He said Kate’s work in the States meant he had gone for months without seeing his daughter.
Ex-hubby Sam Mendes, who directed American Beauty and the latest Bond film Skyfall, leapt to her defence.
