Kate Winslet reached international fame with the success of the 'Titanic', but she is just not one of those actresses that get credit for looking extremely thin and fit. For Kate, learning how to work like a real professional on the set of each movie that she makes is and always has been more important than losing a couple of pounds or being a pretty face.

In a recent interview with BBC, Winslet expressed her concern at the recent trend of super-slim actresses and models, a thing that 'inspires' young girls and women all over the world to starve themselves in the hope of having the same body weight or frame as somebody famous.

While starlets like Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie and Kate Moss have been openly criticized in the media for supposedly being at the 'cause' of so many eating disorders through the bad example they set, Kate says that she feels afraid her won daughter might fall a victim to this tendency.

The actress has a six-year old daughter Mia with her first husband and she is more than concerned that, one day, she'll grow up believing that being underweight is good. It's only a matter of time before she becomes aware of it, and it frightens the life out of me', Kate said in the interview. And it's not just her daughter that she's speaking for, as all girls are very impressionable and liable to fall victims to the skinny 'fashion trend'.

'They're trying to figure out who they are, and they want to be loved, and what I resent is that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner, and it's truly upsetting to me.', Winslet explained. Instead of trying to imitate their idols' bodily frame, the starlet says, girls and women should look up for other things they can draw inspiration from. And, for that purpose, she hopes her own example (of making it big in showbiz without corresponding to the physical standards) would be the first one to be taken.
