Kate Winslet's 'Lee' Explores the Trailblazing Life of War Photographer Lee Miller in Ellen Kuras' Directorial Debut

Kate Winslet is set to bring to life one of the most compelling figures of the 20th century in Lee, the feature directorial debut of award-winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras. The film, a passion project for Winslet, who also serves as a producer, delves into a critical decade in the life of American war correspondent and trailblazing photographer Lee Miller, whose work continues to resonate in the worlds of art and journalism. Miller, known for her relentless pursuit of truth, captured some of the most indelible images from World War II, many of which remain iconic to this day.
