Well, maybe this isn't as exciting to everyone else as it was to me, but I as pretty happy.
I was in New York City this past week for vacation and I attended the opening night of the preview for Gypsy on Broadway. My sister and I were sitting there waiting for the play to start and I see Kate Winslet walking down the aisle to her seat. So after intermission I decide to ask her for an autograph. Since she was sitting on the aisle of the first row of the upper balcony it was easy to reach her. I knelt down beside her and said very quietly "Excuse me Ms. Winslet." "Oh (big smile), yes?" "I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could trouble you for an autograph?" "Oh, of course." (another smile) I handed her the napkin I swiped, a Gypsy program to write on, and a pen. "Thank you so much. You are one of my favorite actresses, I really do appreciate it." "Oh, you're welcome. What was your name?" "Hillary." "With one L or two?" "Two. H-I-L-L-A-R-Y. I just adored you in Iris, that was a wonderful film." She looked up at me with a little bit of a surprised expression. "Thank you, that's very sweet." I guess Iris doesn't get mentioned as much a Titanic or Life of David Gale. Anyway, she finished signing and then handed me my stuff and I thanked her again.
She was so friendly and nice about it. I was a bit nervous and afraid I was invading her time off, but she seemed okay with it. My autograph said . . . "To Hillary, Best wishes to you. From, Kate Winslet."
So that was my excitement of the week. I swear she is far more beautiful in person and so tiny. I can't imagine anyone ever considering her overweight. . . Thanks for letting me share my fun experience . . .
