Oscar, Grammy and now Emmy winner Kate Winslet –that’s right, she’s one step away from EGOT, which she’ll get if someone just casts her in a revival of A Doll’s House—looked stunning at Sunday’s Emmy Awards, where she took home the prize for Mildred Pierce.
While Kate’s lesbian fans undoubtedly took note of how fabulous she looked in her red gown that showed off all of her--um--assets, she also caught the eye of at least one straight lady. Actress Tracie Thoms -- whose got lesbian appeal all her own especially after she played Joanne in the film version of Rent opposite Idina Menzel – Tweeted that Kate Winslet could possibly turn her.
I think I can safely speak on behalf of the lesbian community and say we’d all support Tracie in her decision to switch teams for Kate.
