Cast as a Pennsylvania detective, she wanted to make sure she got the accent just right.
âI always hate that when you can hear someone doing a voice or doing an accent,â she says. âAnd thatâs one of the things for me that is more important than anything â just making it disappear and blend in.â
The Oscar-winning actress worked with coaches and locals, drilling them on specific words. âIt was up there amongst the hardest accents Iâve ever done,â she says during a Zoom conference. âI didnât 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, âOh, I think Iâve nailed this now.ââ

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
