"Guests from around the world voted for Kate Winslet in droves - she has clearly got wide reaching global appeal. She is an iconic actress of a generation; a true English Rose and we're delighted to be creating a figure of her," contactmusic.com quoted Liz Edwards, PR Manager at Madame Tussauds, as saying.

The artists spent months perfecting the figure of the 36-year-old, which is dressed in a red cap-sleeve Elie Saab dress.
