Kate Winslet is back at work despite recently ending her seven-year marriage. The Oscar winning actress, seen here on set in New York, is currently filming the upcoming HBO mini series, Mildred Pierce where she will play the title role. Set during the great depression, Winslet’s character is a newly divorced single mother who takes a job in a restaurant and soon finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and murder. It’s the kind of part tailor-made for the 34-year-old, who has made a career of taking roles in period pieces. Mildred Pierce is a remake of the 1945 critically acclaimed film of the same name and earned Joan Crawford an Academy Award for her portrayal. Filming is expected to continue throughout April and will be aired later this year.
