Kristin Scott Thomas, I've Loved You So Long
LoveStage: Divorced
In 2005 Scott Thomas separated from her husband of 17 years, fertility doctor François Olivennes, whom she had previously called her "rock." Rumors swirled of an affair with actor Tobias Menzies, almost 14 years younger than Scott Thomas; the two are no longer dating.

In February 2008, Scott Thomas said, "I have had a pretty rough time recently. I feel like I've climbed a mountain in some way. I've realized that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief. I don't feel single. You don't when you have children. But I do feel more independent... I don't have to check in with anybody. After a long time with someone, you realize you've been thinking for two."

Kate Winslet, Revolutionary Road
LoveStage: Married
Winslet is married to director and producer Sam Mendes. They met in 2001 and wed in 2003. They have one child, Joe Alfie, and Winslet also has a child from a previous union with James Threapleton, Mia Honey.

Mendes directed Winslet's award-nominated performance in Revolutionary Road, including the sex scenes with actor Leonardo Dicaprio. The two had acted together in the 1997 blockbuster Titanic. "Initially, I was very worried it would be difficult to concentrate [on the sex]. But Leo was fine with it, which relaxed me. And I never sensed Sam feeling awkward. Quite the opposite. He'd yell from the other room: 'Press your hand into her back more! And when you take her face, really grab it!" she told the New York Daily News.
