Kate`s early love hang-ups
LIFE is sweet for Hollywood golden girl Kate Winslet but the actress - happily married to director Sam Mendes - recalls a time when she wasn't so popular.
Dating as a teen was hard for the award-winning Brit - pictured at yesterday's Oscar nominees' luncheon in Beverly Hills - because her father made her pay for phone calls by the minute, even if she was being dumped.
"My father was so worried about the phone bill he installed a pay phone at home, " says Kate, 33.
"I remember it beeping and me shouting: 'Hang on, I'll get a coin. Don't break up with me on the phone. I just need a coin."
