Kate Winslet Talks About Wearing A Merkin In ‘The Reader’

Kate Winslet Talks About Wearing A Merkin In ‘The Reader’ – Photo

Kate Winslet starred as Hanna in the movie, “The Reader”, which was a period drama set in 1950′s Berlin.

Back then, women didn’t exactly get Brazilian waxes or anything, thus the need for Winslet to wear a merkin.

Winslet has just revealed that she had to wear the merkin, or a pubic wig, for her role in the movie. Of the nude clip, she says, “It was anything but glamorous.”

She adds, “The film is set in the 50s, I couldn’t have just had a landing strip! I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn’t come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin – a wig – because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough.”
