... But I'm not a gardener, says Kate Winslet
In Alan Rickman's A Little Chaos she plays a woman trying to fight to be heard in a male-dominated world. Even though many actresses would describe Hollywood in a similar way, it's not been 39-year-old Kate's reality. "I've been really fortunate," she admitted to the British edition of OK! magazine.
The 39-year-old actress who has daughter Mia, 14, and son Joe, 11, from her previous marriages, and son Bear, 16 months, with husband Ned Rocknroll - plays a professional gardener in new movie 'A Little Chaos' but isn't as green-fingered as she'd like to be in her everyday life.

She said: "I love gardens and I learned as much as I could, but I'm not a gardener. "I wish I was. Every year I say, 'Right, this year we're going to do raised beds, we're going to grow carrots, we're going to do tomatoes...' And somehow life gets in the way and we never quite get around to it." And Kate is particularly embarrassed because her daughter is already showing signs of being good with the earth.
She added: "My daughter is actually putting me to shame a little bit. She's doing a proper gardening project at school and apparently she's really rather good." Despite her own lack of prowess outdoors, the British star enjoyed getting some hands-on experience in France, where the film was set.
