As I delve into the captivating story of Dorothea Lange, the extraordinary war photographer, I am left in awe of her indomitable spirit and unwavering courage. Her life was not just a series of moments captured on film; it was a journey that spanned continents, witnessed history unfolding before her eyes, and bore witness to the darkest corners of humanity.


At the 20th Zurich Film Festival held in Switzerland on Monday, Kate Winslet drew eyes in a captivating red jumpsuit during her appearance.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but beam with joy when the renowned British actress received the prestigious Golden Icon Award ahead of the premier of her latest movie, Lee. The sight of her radiant smile was all it took to make my day!

She displayed her stunning physique in an attention-grabbing red dress, featuring a halter top and flared pants.

Kate tightened her midriff using a thick, black belt and enhanced her stature by wearing high-heeled shoes with pointed toes.

In a well-groomed, wavy updo, the actress from the Titanic sported her long, golden-blond locks, and adorned herself with a stunning pair of drop earrings made of gold.

Kate displayed her captivating grin while striking poses for breathtaking pictures, prior to the start of the event on the crimson carpet.

Before heading into the theater, the star from The Dressmaker happily signed autographs and took photos with fans, then quickly shielded herself with an umbrella as she walked inside.

Kate was all smiles as she took to the stage to receive her award and made a speech to the crowd. 

As I stand here graced with the Zurich Film Festival’s esteemed honor, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. It is not just an award bestowed upon me, but a validation of the passion and dedication that went into creating ‘Lee’, a film that holds a special place in my heart. This work has been more than just labor; it’s been a labor of love, and I couldn’t be prouder to have played a part in its creation.

I’m incredibly thankful to the Zurich Film Festival for providing us with this special occasion to honor our movie. It’s also a pleasure to acknowledge everyone who’s been involved in this incredible voyage. Above all, Lee has always been and continues to be a source of pride and joy for me.

During World War II, Kate Lee takes on the role of Lee Miller, a British Vogue correspondent who eventually emerged as one of the 20th century’s leading war photographers.

In the upcoming biography, Kate takes on the role of Miller. Furthermore, it features notable actors such as Josh O’Connor, Marion Cotillard, Alexander Skarsgård from “Succession”, and several other talented individuals.

Recently, I was informed that I should conceal my ‘tummy bulges’ during filming, a statement I found completely astonishing since my physique is naturally soft.

In conversation with Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC, she stated: ‘It was part of my role to emulate Lee. She wasn’t hitting the gym and doing Pilates; instead, she was enjoying cheese, bread, and wine without fuss, which naturally resulted in a softer body.’

However, it seems we’ve grown accustomed to either overlooking or appreciating it less, rather than finding joy in it. Strangely, our initial response often shifts from admiration to criticism or commenting about it in some manner.

‘It’s fascinating to observe how often people assign labels to women, a practice that was prevalent during Lee’s time and unfortunately still persists today. We seem to label women in ways we don’t do for men, which strikes me as peculiar.’

Kate expressed her opinion that women ought to engage in discussions regarding the tags associated with women based on their body types, and instead of conforming to ideals, they should applaud being authentic and curvy.

She added: ‘Life is too short, do you know? I don’t want to look back and go “Why did I worry about that thing?” And so, guess what? I don’t worry anymore. I don’t care.

“I plan to seize the day and make the best out of it, as we only have one chance at living our lives.

The blockbuster explores Miller’s journey from fashion model to acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II.

Miller traveled extensively throughout Europe during her work, collaborating with fellow American photographer David E. Scherman while serving as part of the Allied forces. Both were correspondents for Life magazine.

Her assortment encompasses remarkable photographs she captured while chronicling the conclusion of the conflict; she journeyed to France barely a month following D-Day’s conclusion, and to document the Siege of the strongly fortified city of St. Malo.

Additionally, she was present during the freeing of Paris, the Battle of Alsace, and the shocking sight of Allied troops entering the Nazi concentration camps of Buchenwald and Dachau for the first time.

During his trip to Germany, David Scherman snapped a picture of Miller relaxing in Adolf Hitler’s apartment in Munich, with the shower hose forming a loop around her head, giving the appearance of a noose.

The pictures came to symbolize their collaboration, beautifully displaying her renowned modeling talents.

Among just two women serving as combat photographers during World War II, she was additionally among a small number of female journalists who bravely entered the liberated concentration camps.
