Kate Winslet parents: Meet Sally Anne, Roger John Winslet
Sally Anne and Roger John Winslet welcomed Kate Winslet into the world on October 5, 1975 in Reading, Berkshire, England.
While her father, a failed actor, took on laboring jobs to help support the family, her mother worked as a babysitter and a waitress. Her maternal grandparents were both actors who also served as the company’s artistic directors.
The family was supported by the Actor’s Charitable Trust and had limited financial resources; they subsisted on free meal privileges.
In a boating accident when Winslet was 10 years old, her father suffered a serious foot injury that made it difficult for him to work, further straining the family’s finances.
Winslet has claimed that her parents were a kind and supportive family who always made them feel cared for.
