- This source waa also very intresting to read because it is telling the readers that Kate Winslet herself can't even watch her Titanic performance - she said in an interview that she hopes her American accent is a lot better now, due to Winslet being British. Titanic was her first biggest role and after that her life got better and better!

- I found this very useful because instead of the media and other stars talking about how grest the relationship between Kate and Leo are, they are talking about it themselves and how they actually feel about each other.

Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet: Which 'Titanic' star has the better career?
Author: Ramin Setoodeh
Date: 4th April 2012
Publisher: The Daily Beast
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/04/04/leonardo-dicaprio-or-kate-winslet-which-titanic-star-has-the-better-career.html
- This source was very interesting to read because it is talking about what Setoodeh (the reporter) thinks about DiCaprio and Kate's carrear and in his opinion who has a better carear. The reporter thinks that Kate Winslet has done better but personally I think they have both done very sucessfully because each of them are now doing different genres of films. DiCaprio started off doing romantic (Romeo and Juliet) but now gradually growing towards comedy (The Wolf of Wall Street) and then Winslet is doing a bit of action (Divergent) and then a bit of comedy (The Dressmaker).
