Titanic¹ Star Heartbreak 泰坦尼克号明星心碎了

Celebrity² Divorce 名人离婚

Kate Winslet, the English star of the film Titanic, has announced that she has split up from her film director husband

Sam Mendes after six years of marriage.

The couple released a statement saying that the split was entirely³ amicable⁴ and by mutual⁵ agreement. The press release went on to say that both parties were committed to the joint⁶ parenting of their children.

It is not the first time that the Oscar-winning actress has faced tragedy in her private life.

In 1997 Winslet became an international star with the release of the massive box-office hit Titanic, but for her the success of the film was overshadowed by the death of her then partner from bone cancer shortly before the film came out.

Winslet then met and married film director Jim Threapleton with whom she has a daughter, but the couple divorced three years later.

Both Mendes and Winslet have had stellar careers – she was nominated five times for an Oscar before finally winning the best actress award for her performance in the 2009 film The Reader.

Mendes has enjoyed great success as a theatre director in London and on Broadway,as well as winning the best picture and best director Oscar awards for his 1999 debut⁷ movie American Beauty.

The couple only worked together, however, on a single film project, the 2008 melodrama⁸ Revolutionary Road.

But fans of both Mendes and Winslet needn't worry that the divorce will affect their creative output as Mendes has five films in development and is reportedly in talks to direct the next James Bond movie.

As for Winslet, with two films and a TV show in pre-production, her fans can be sure her heart will go on.

电影泰坦尼克号的女主角，英国明星凯特·温丝莱特(Kate Winslet)宣布与他的电影导演丈夫萨姆·门德斯(Sam Mendes)分手，两人已经走过了六年的婚姻历程。

凯特·温丝莱特夫妇发表声明表示两人是非常友好的协议离婚。新闻发布会称，双方均会履行联合抚养孩子的职责。

这已经不是第一位获得奥斯卡奖的女明星私生活中面临悲剧。

1997年，由于票房热门电影泰坦尼克号的播放，凯特·温丝莱特成为国际明星。但是，由于他的搭档在影片出品之前因骨癌去世，她的成功蒙上了一层阴影。

随后，温丝莱特遇到电影导演杰米·塞普莱顿(Jim Threapleton)并与他结婚，后来生下一个女儿。但是三年之后两人离婚。

门德斯和温丝莱特都有着一流的职业生涯——温丝莱特获得五次奥斯卡奖提名，最终凭借2009年的影片《生死朗读》(The Reader)而荣获奥斯卡最佳女主角。

门德斯作为剧场导演在伦敦和百老汇享受巨大的成功，同时因1999年的电影处女作《美国美人》(American Beauty)而荣获奥斯卡最佳影片和最佳导演奖。

然而，两人仅合作过一部影片，就是2008年的音乐剧《革命之路》(Revolutionary Road)。

但是门德斯和温丝莱特的影迷都不需要担心离婚会影响他们创作性的影片出品。门德斯正在拍制五部影片，据报道，正在谈判指导下一部詹姆斯·邦德影片。

对于温丝莱特来说，她的两部电影和一个电视表演正在前期制作的过程中。她的粉丝们应该确信，她的心永不变。
