And Kate Winslet Was There!
“The Cherry Orchard,” starring Ethan Hawke and Simon Russell Beale and directed by Sam Mendes, opened tonight at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music, and I doubt whether Mr. Chekhov has ever had a more glamorous audience. My website partner, Jerry Wade, and I sat just in front of Mrs. Mendes (aka Kate Winslet, pictured). When Jerry nipped off to the bathroom at intermission, I had a quick exchange with Kate. I asked her if she was tired yet of being congratulated for winning her two Golden Globes last Sunday. “Never!” she shot back, adding “I am a little tired, however, of being asked about my interview with Oprah.” That’s the one that aired yesterday, when Ms. Winfrey told Winslet how much she liked the latter’s breasts.
