Winslet carries out heroics in Branson home blaze

Kate Winslet carried Richard Branson's mother to safety after a fire broke out at the British businessman's Caribbean home.

The 'Titanic' actress – who was one of 20 guests staying at Richard's house on his privately-owned Necker Island, along with her boyfriend Louis Dowler, and her two children Mia, 10, and seven-year-old Joe - picked up 90-year-old Eve in her arms and led her away from the blaze in the early hours of yesterday, and the Virgin boss has praised her actions.
