Her Quiet Place

In HBO’s Mare of Easttown, Kate Winslet assumes an unlikely role: a no-nonsense detective in small-town Pennsylvania. Authenticity was key as were commitment, compassion and a quiet heroism. Benji Wilson Kate Winslet begins with an advisory warning. I need to tell you right now, she says, that I ve only just finished playing this character and when I talk about her, there s a little bit of me that falls apart. The character is Mare Sheehan of HBO s Mare of Easttown , a seven-episode limited series about a troubled small-town detective who s searching for two missing girls in Pennsylvania. The casting might seem like a stretch for Winslet. After all, she s a British star who lives in a farmhouse on the Sussex coast with a husband, three children and, when we speak, a dog at her feet.

Kate Winslet finds way into Mare of Easttown through the accent

Not the liquid – the pronunciation. Cast as a Pennsylvania detective, she wanted to make sure she got the accent just right. “I always hate that when you can hear someone doing a voice or doing an accent,” she says. “And that’s one of the things for me that is more important than anything – just making it disappear and blend in.” The Oscar-winning actress worked with coaches and locals, drilling them on specific words. “It was up there amongst the hardest accents I’ve ever done,” she says during a Zoom conference. “I didn’t want to come up with something that was sort of generalized and make a few kind of token sounds that were a nod in the direction of the Delco dialect. I really wanted her to feel as though she had been born and raised there. On the last day of the shoot, I was like, ‘Oh, I think I’ve nailed this now.’”

I d be clueless, says Kate Winslet on being a real-life cop

SoHo Kate Winslet stars as a police detective investigating a murder in a small community in Mare Of Easttown. Kate Winslet doesn’t hold back. “I’d be a f.. lousy detective,” she says, when asked how suited she is to playing a detective in the upcoming crime drama Mare Of Easttown. “I’d be very good at the coffee and the after-beers, definitely. But this character felt a million miles away from me, which she is, in terms of the job that she does. “I could never do the job that Mare does. I don’t think I have the mental stamina that is required.”
