Kate Winslet is not only one of Hollywood's most well-known actresses, but she's also an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy winner – but that doesn't stop her from being afraid of "f—king up," as she put it.
In an interview with Variety about her HBO blockbuster miniseries "Mare of Easttown," the actress expressed concern that people may perceive her as less-than if she delivers a poorly researched portrayal.
She added, "I'm simply like, if I don't do the f—king homework, I'm going to be outed as fraud.So I'd best keep doing it as often as possible so that I have the fattest safety net. That's my thing.”

"Even if it's vague, I always try to offer a character history - where they grew up, if their parents divorced, did they have a parent who died, were their siblings around, what sort of socioeconomic background did they have, where did they go to school — some genuine fundamentals," she explained.

She also collaborated with co-star Julianne Nicholson to flesh out their characters' decades-long connection, since they had presumably grown up together and gone through the stages of womanhood and beyond.
"What we're most pleased of is that we were able to build a really real community within our show of individuals who have common experiences and histories that tie them together, and that they — no matter what — look out for each other and stand up for each other," gushed Winslet.
The actress is a strong possibility for an Emmy nomination for her performance as Mare next month.
"Mare of Eatontown" followed a small-town investigator as he investigated the death of a disturbed young woman who had questionable links to several people in community.
