Kate Winslet: Working with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski is ‘extraordinary’

Kate Winslet is willing to overlook a director’s transgressions — alleged or otherwise — if given the right material.

The Oscar-winning star is working with Woody Allen on “Wonder Wheel,” which also features Justin Timberlake, but Winslet didn’t hesitate despite being aware of the allegations against the famed director.

“Of course one thinks about [the scandal]. But at the same time, I didn’t know Woody and I don’t know anything about that family,” Winslet told the New York Times. “As the actor in the film, you just have to step away and say, I don’t know anything, really, and whether any of it is true or false. Having thought it all through, you put it to one side and just work with the person.”

Allen was accused of sexually abusing his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, when she was a child.

The “Titanic” actress described Allen as an “incredible director” and said the same of Roman Polanski, who was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl and then fled the U.S.

“I had an extraordinary working experience with both of those men, and that’s the truth,” Winslet said.

The 41-year-old actress called working with Allen a “now or never” experience, so she jumped at the offer.

“Plus I knew my parents would be incredibly proud of me working with Woody Allen,” she added.
