'Yellowjackets' star Melanie Lynskey worked alongside Kate Winslet in the 1994 film 'Heavenly Creatures'
Yellowjackets star Melanie Lynskey, who starred alongside Kate Winslet in the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures bemoaned the loss of her close friendship with the Titanic star, on the latest episode of Happy Sad Confused podcast.
“When I lost touch with Kate, it was more heartbreaking than
some breakups that I’ve had,” Lynskey said.
According the podcast
cited by Entertainment Weekly, Winslet became too preoccupied with her
career.
“It was so painful and it wasn’t like anything happened,
it’s just she became a gigantic, international movie star and she didn’t
have a lot of time and then, suddenly, she’d be in Los Angeles and not have
time.”
In an interview with Time magazine earlier Lynskey
revealed: “We developed such a bond that for a long time we couldn’t let it
go. We would write each other letters and talk on the phone all the time. We
were in constant contact for so long.”
However, despite their intense bond during filming, the two
actors drifted apart over time as Winslet's career took off.
Lynskey
recalled another actor who she thought would be a lifelong friend, but who
broke things off almost immediately after filming ended. Lynskey admitted to
being sensitive and injured by losing these friendships, but has come to
accept that friendships can be temporary and it's a natural part of
life.
