Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet's portrayal in Titanic catapulted her into the spotlight, but with fame came the unwanted attention of body-shamers. She was often the target of jokes about her size, especially during the famous door scene in the movie.

Even before she became famous, a drama teacher had advised her to settle for "chunky sidekick" roles instead of aiming for leading lady parts. Kate, however, proved everyone wrong by becoming one of the most successful actresses of her generation and even winning an Oscar.
