Kate Winslet finds TV shoot gruelling


Hollywood beauty Kate Winslet finds working on small screen hectic and gruelling compared to films.

The Oscar-winning star, who began her career in TV with minor roles in little-known shows like Dark Season and Get Back is going back to her roots with new mini-series Mildred Pierce, a role which won actress Joan Crawford an Oscar for her 1945 movie of the same name, Contactmusic reported.

The Titanic star said that she struggled to adjust to the long working hours and gruelling TV schedule despite working so many years in Hollywood.

“It never occurred to me, beyond the moment of reading those scripts, ‘Wow, this is television, therefore it’s going to be different somehow’. Sure, we have more to shoot… but the level of determination and level of focus was so much more intense than certainly any film I’ve ever been a part (of),” said the 35-year-old British actress.

“Television is so much harder. It didn’t affect the work ethic in any way other than we had more story to tell, which was a luxury, and less time to work to that goal. But that just meant we were hyper-focused,” she added.
