![]() ![]() Although we can see that she’s a talented and dedicated cop, her town sees her as incompetent because she hasn’t found a local girl who went missing. She’s a walking damage report: loved ones lost to suicide, a son who hated her, a heroin-addicted daughter-in-law fighting her for custody of her grandson. Mare’s fortunes have fallen since then, in a truly Job-like fashion. She was once a local hero, her glory day having come in a high school basketball championship game. Winslet plays Mare Sheehan, who lives with four generations of her family and works as a police detective in the Pennsylvania town where she grew up. The latest, following the languorous curio “Mildred Pierce” from 2011 (her only previous American series), is the seven-episode “ Mare of Easttown,” which premieres Sunday night. It would be nicer if those series were worth her time and talent. The Queen is politically very interesting,” but added: “I've never met a member of the royal family and don't want to.” Probably no fear of that happening now, anyway.It’s nice that HBO has turned out another handsomely produced, manifestly serious mini-series for the wonderful actress Kate Winslet. ![]() She was very powerful and politically complex.

Cannily, Winslet has also signed up to be executive producer of both The Palace and The Trust, so it looks like award season in 2023 might be a busy time for her.įrears, meanwhile, has been at the helm of iconic films such as My Beautiful Laundrette, High Fidelity, Philomena and most recently, the Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw-fronted A Very English Affair. Given all the plaudits for Mare Of Easttown, HBO are obviously placing Winslet at the front and centre of their big productions, as it’s also recently been announced that she will be starring in an adaptation of Hernan Diaz’s book, The Trust, in which she will play a ghostwriter who becomes unsettled when a wealthy financier gets her to rewrite history. Winslet, alongside starring as the vape-sucking small town detective last year, is known best for her roles in Titanic, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Revolutionary Road and Divergent. It’s the first time Winslet and Frears will have worked together, despite both having long careers in the industry, and with such esteemed productions behind each of them.
