Winslet was channeling the Catherine Deneuve character from Belle de Jour, about a housewife moonlighting as a daytime prostitute.

Kate Winslet bares it all — and then some — in the December 2008 issue of “Vanity Fair,” talking about why she needs coffee and a ciggie in the morning, what she thought about husband Sam Mendes when they first met, how it feels to have five Oscar nominations and how much she really, really wants to WIN this year.
