Kate Winslet Merkin Love

Kate Winslet says she was asked to wear a merkin (pubic hair wig) in her latest film “The Reader”.

She told Allure,

“Let me tell you, The Reader was not glamorous for me in terms of body hair maintenance. I had to grow it in, because you can’t have a landing strip in 1950, you know? And then because of years of waxing, it doesn’t come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough. I said, ‘Guys, I am going to have to draw the line at a pubic wig. But you can shoot my own snatch up close and personal.’”

Sorry, I reported this wrong the first time, saying she DID wear a merkin, but alas, I only had a partial quote and it was misleading. Here is the FULL quote from Allure, and yes, the pubic hair was her own! Such handy information to have, eh?
