Kate Winslet on love scenes with Saoirse Ronan: Women know what women want

Kate Winslet in Ammonite (Lionsgate/PA)

The Oscar-winning actress, 45, plays the real-life self-taught palaeontologist and fossilist Mary Anning in Ammonite, opposite Saoirse Ronan as melancholy young newlywed Charlotte Murchison.

The film, directed by God’s Own Country’s Francis Lee, is not strictly a biopic, as Anning’s romantic preferences are lost to history, but the movie depicts a same-sex romance between the pair in the 1840s.
