From the first episode of Mare of Easttown, Winslet’s fans knew they were watching something special. They were witnessing an incredible performance from an actress who immersed herself body and soul into her character. In not only tackling a difficult regional accent, but also choosing to forego makeup and stylish costume, the actress’ dedication to Mare was marked by her authenticity.
Detective Mare Sheehan was not a likable character at first. This flawed, damaged woman was abrupt and brusque but soon began revealing the layers of baggage showing why she became the woman she was. This was a police detective with a difficult life, from living up to her town reputation as a sports hero, to a grieving mother, trying to face life following the suicide of her oldest son.
In Kate Winslet’s talented hands, Mare came to life, warts, and all. Through her stellar work, Winslet portrayed Mare with a complexity and humanity that soon had viewers rooting for her to succeed. Winslet gave Mare a deep, earthy core making her as real and raw as she could be. Hers was the type of performance that acting classes will point to as a prime example of an actor totally committed to a part. For all of these reasons, and many more, Kate Winslet is SpoilerTV’s 2021 Staff Choice Performer of the Year.
