Kate Beckinsale, on not being Clementine and not being heavy

9. Looking back on your career, is there a part you wish you could've gotten?
I remember very much liking the Kate Winslet part in 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.' It's a wonderful part. I met [director Michel Gondry] for it, but he said I was too thin. I think originally in the script it was a big story point that she was heavy, and then it became not that, because Kate Winslet is also not heavy, either. But I think she did a fantastic job, and I personally thought she should've won the Academy Award for that. I thought she was amazing. (Source)

Thanks to Tram for that one.

Some of Pierre Bismuth's stuff will be exhibited at the "The Armory Show" in New York next week. Pierre's the artist who came up with the concept that sparked Charlie's Eternal script. His work will be alongside the art of other folks'.

'Ave yourselves a good weekend, eh?
