Kate Winslet took home the sink from ‘Mildred Pierce’.

The Oscar-winning actress – who has Mia, 20, and Joe, 16, from her previous marriages and Bear, seven, with husband Ned Rocknroll – loves taking souvenirs from the sets she’s worked on, and while many stars settle on a costume or accessory, the 45-year-old star loves furnishings.
She said: “Can you see the amazing sink? That’s from the set of ‘Mildred Pierce’. It’s got s**t taps. But I do like to try and take a little something from all my films.
“I took the curtains from the cottage in ‘The Holiday’. [The children keep cutting them up] to, like, upcycle their jeans.
“Also, I did a film called ‘All the King’s Men’ where Jude Law and I had to do this snogging scene at a table, where we snog, snog, snogged our socks off. And it was so fabulous.
“As the scene was happening, I kept thinking, ‘I’m going to have to buy this table.’ So I did.”
The ‘Ammonite’ actress – whose father moved in with her during lockdown – initially enjoyed the slower pace of living when she had to stay at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, but she’s now losing patience and become “obsessed” with mundane tasks.
She told Observer magazine: “I’m obsessed with sweeping the kitchen floor. I’ve become completely fixated by it.
“Why am I the only person who does this? Why am I on my hands and knees again?”
And she’s been having lots of vivid dreams.
She said: “Last night I dreamt about getting the vaccine. But the person hadn’t done it properly.
“And so they took the needle out and there was still half a vial of vaccine just… squirting. And I thought, ‘Well, now what do we do?’ “
