The Rose: Literally playing a damed named Rose in tearaway hit Titanic, previous Biggest Movie Like Ever, Winslet has since challenged the movie industry’s attempt to box her in with luminous, bold career choices that have seen her play everything from a young Iris Murdoch to a multi-hair-coloured waif called Clementine.

The Awesome: Hideous Kinky is a flawed but fearless runaway delight, while Winslet’s double-whammy offerings in 2008 of The Reader and Revolutionary Road both proved she’s not going anywhere soon.

American Equivalent: Michelle Williams boasts the same spirited verve, not to mention a predilection toward challenging indie roles that aren’t too fussed about mainstream appeal. Both fantastic in everything they do.
