May 14, 2004

She has always bene proud of her curves - and i her latest film, Kate Winslet shows them off in sultry style.

In red stilettoes and a copper wig, she raises her flamenco-style dress waist high in a sensuous Latino dance number.

The provacative routine showed the 28-year-old actress has regained her shapely figure after the birth of her second child at Christmas.

And it also demonstrated how dance lessons for her role in Romance and Cigarettes had paid off.

'Kate looked very supple and had clearly mastered all the moves,' said an onlooker at the location in Brooklyn, New York.

'After seeming a little nervous at first, by the end of the scene you could see she was loving every second of it.'

She has just returned to filmmaking after having her second child, Joe, by director husband Sam Mendes. The Titanic star also has a three-year-old daughter, Mia, by first husband jim Threapleton.

The actress has repeatedly suggseted women shoul be more comfortable with fuller figures. 'I have nothing against people who are thin,' she said recently. 'But I am not like that and I don't want to be.'

In Romance and Cigarettes Sporanos star James Gandolfini is a husband who must choose between his mistress (Miss Winslet) and his wife, played by Susan Sarandon.

A hot property
May 14, 2004


Kate Winslet seems to be stirred by the flames of passion in a scene from upcoming 'Romance and Cigarettes,' being filmed in Red Hook.
 

Though the actors were shooting a dream sequence, there was some real blazing action on the set. The movie co-stars James Gandolfini.

James Gandolfini and Kate Winslet have a smoldering affair in the forthcoming movie musical "Romance & Cigarettes" - and they certainly generated some sparks early yesterday morning in Brooklyn.

Director John Turturro set out to film a fantasy sequence in which Gandolfini's character, Nick Murder, imagines that he's a firefighter rescuing his mistress, played by Winslet, from a building where she's doing a scorching salsa dance as flames burst from her window.

But the scene turned all too real when special effects set a beam in the abandoned building on fire.

Fortunately, more than a dozen off-duty New York firefighters - playing FDNY members serenading Winslet with the Cuban ballad "El Cuarto de Tula" - were on hand.

"Kate was never in any real danger," a spy tells us.

Still, something about her red leather dress lured dozens of the Bravest to race to save her.

Meanwhile, trucks from a nearby firehouse were called to put out the blaze. Among those helping out was co-star Steve Buscemi, who was a New York fireman himself before becoming an actor. (He's also on HBO's "The Sopranos" with Gandolfini.)

It took about an hour to put out the flames, and nobody was hurt.

The movie, produced by Joel and Ethan Coen, also stars Susan Sarandon, Eddie Izzard, Mandy Moore, Mary- Louise Parker, Amy Sedaris, Elaine Stritch, Aida Turturro and Christopher Walken.

The Kate Escape

The actress was dancing among staged flames for a scene in new musical Romance and Cigarettes.

But when the fire spiralled out of control Winslet, 28, had to be plucked to safety.
