Winslet told Winfrey she didn't want a lot of dresses being sent to her. "I think in this time in the economy, it's just not nice to have people make lots of dresses and you just wear one out of a possible five," she said. "So Yves St. Laurent very kindly said, 'We'd like to make something for you,' and that was what we did."

Winslet said you won't be seeing that much of her on the big screen from now on. "I have done quite a lot of nudity, and I feel like my kids, they're 8 and 5 now, maybe they're going to start to become aware of the amount of nudity I've done," she says. "I just sort of feel like I can't get away with it that much longer."
