Kate Winslet Fire

    Kate Winslet flees from fire
    Kate Winslet flees from fire. Kate Winslet has escaped unhurt from a fire while staying on Richard Branson's luxury Caribbean island. The island is a favoured destination among celebrities and the super-rich.

    The blaze, which started after a lightning bolt hit the house on Necker Island, began at around 4am.


    The billionaire owner of the Virgin brand, who wasn't in the eight-bedroom Great House when it happened, spoke of the unfortunate incident. "Around 20 people were in the house and they all managed to get out and they are all fine." "We had a really bad tropical storm with winds up to 90mph. A big lightning storm came around 4am and hit the house," he continued.


    "My son Sam rushed to the house and helped get everyone out. Kate Winslet, her boyfriend and her family were there and Holly and some of her friends were also staying. My mother was there and they managed to get her out and she is fine."


    Richard Branson"The main house is completely destroyed and the fire is not yet completely out. My office was based in the house and I have lost thousands of photographs which is very sad."


    A spokesperson for Virgin added: "While substantial damage was caused to the building, no guests or members of the Necker Island staff were hurt."


    "Sir Richard Branson, members of his family and guests were on island at the time. They are all safe and currently being accommodated elsewhere on the island."

    Richard bought the private luxury island back in the early 80s and the Great House had been there since 1982.

Kate Winslet Venice

    The Oscar-winning actress donned a design from the former Spice Girl's fall 2011 collection. They neutral dress fit to perfection and featured a flared collar.

    Kate had a little fun with her hair, putting it up in a ponytail with a little volume up top, and accessorized with sparkling Jimmy Choo 'Viola' sandals.

    Which of Kate Winslet's Venice Film Festival looks do you prefer: The Victoria Beckham or Stella McCartney design?

    Kate Winslet is one of the UK's finest and most successful young actresses, winning an Oscar and being nominated on five other occasions before the age of 34. Yet she's more than just a celebrity thespian, having for the most part shunned major Hollywood productions in favour of smaller, more interesting, and often British pieces. Having at school weighed 185 pounds and suffered the nickname Blubber, she has also famously decried the pressures put upon young women by society and the film industry in particular.

    Kate Winslet

    Kate Elizabeth Winslet was born on October 5th, 1975, in Reading, Berkshire, to father Roger and mother Sally Bridges-Winslet. She has two sisters, Anna and Beth, and a brother named Joss. Acting was in the family. Two of her father's forebears - twins - appeared in vaudeville. Her mother's parents, Oliver and Linda, had run the Reading Repertory Theatre, and her uncle Robert Bridges had appeared in many productions, most notably as Mr Bumble in the original West End version of Oliver! Her father, too, was a thespian by trade (Anna and Beth have also followed this path), performing mostly onstage, but also appearing on a couple of episodes of Casualty, a show that provided one of Kate's earliest appearances.

    Like most actors, Roger would often have trouble finding work, and in-between jobs would find employment as a postman, laying tarmac and with the National Trust. His efforts ensured there were never any real money problems, extra cash being brought in by Sally, a qualified nanny. Her profession meant that the Winslet home was often filled with other people's children. Kate would later say that the atmosphere was, if not hippy-like, then certainly bohemian, with an ongoing "sense of holiday".

    This atmosphere changed somewhat when, with Kate just past her 10th birthday, Roger suffered a bad accident while on the water. Attempting to steer a large canal boat through a lock in France, his foot was caught in a whipping coil of rope and nearly severed. It was only the speed of the helicopter ambulance and the skill of the micro-surgeons that kept it attached. Kate and the others were told that, after a year of rehabilitation, her father would be back to normal, playing with them as usual. The fact that he was not and never would be, she said later, would cause a lingering feeling of bitterness and betrayal.

    This did not prevent Kate from wholeheartedly pursuing her career - and even at this tender age, she did already consider acting to be her career, seizing stage parts wherever she could. As a child she'd wept when she won the part of Mary in the school nativity play "because it was so important to me".
