'Corset Kate' says she's not a movie star
January 16, 2009 
Kate Winslet, one of Britain's most famous actresses who was nicknamed 'Corset Kate' early on in her career because of the amount of period films she made, says that she does not like being called a movie star.
The famously down-to-earth blonde from Reading says that she does not display any diva behaviour and that her most important role is being a mother to her two children, Mia and Joe.
She told In Style magazine: "I don't feel like a movie star in my life at all, and I don't particularly think I behave like one.
"I don't have my own plane. I don't have a chef or a trainer. To me, you're a movie star only during the time when you're at the Academy Awards or at an important glamorous event."
The 33-year-old beauty won two Golden Globe awards earlier this week for her roles in The Reader and Revolutionary Road and she has also been nominated for two Baftas.
