TITANIC star Kate Winslet is in her best role yet - as a mum. Kate, 25, glowed with pride as she flew into London with baby Mia. The actress carried four-month-old Mia in a sling and stroked her fingers as she posed for photos. Kate had been in Glasgow and it was Mia's first flight. The tot seemed a bit bewildered by it all. Don't fret, Mia, you're quite safe with mum. But we wouldn't recommend getting on a boat with her!

Mama, Mia -being a mum gives Kate a buzz

By Eddie Fitzmaurice

Actress Kate Winslet flew into London's Heathrow Airport yesterday proudly displaying her most amazing production yet - four-month-old daughter Mia.

The Titanic star, whose latest movie Quills with co-star Geoffrey Rush has just been released in Britain, was returning home from Scotland where she had been visiting friends.

And with little Mia tucked up in a baby harness, 25-year-old Kate was a picture of maternal pride.

Winslet's sights were firmly set on her little girl.

"Mia is absolutely gorgeous - she's transformed my world," she said.

"She's just had her first flight and she has been so good. Isn't she lovely?

"We've been in this little baby cocoon since the day she was born. She is so precious that for the first few days we were worried about breaking her, and every nappy change would take 30 minutes.

"Now it takes 30 seconds. We're getting quicker at these things and realising babies are not as fragile as we think."

The happy scene was a world away from Winslet's steamy role in Quills, which tells the harrowing story of 18th century French aristocrat the Marquis de Sade.

Winslet, twice nominated for an Oscar for her parts in Titanic and Sense And Sensibility, plays a laundry girl at the lunatic asylum where the marquis, played by Rush, is locked up.

The movie has been given an R rating in Britain.

Winslet's next movie will be an adaptation of French writer Emile Zola's Therese Raquin, a grisly tale of crime and passion in 19th century Paris.
