And apparently, she would go to any length for a good action scene. In one of her movies, Yeoh was performing a scene where she had to literally run across rooftops.

Kate Winslet — Kate Winslet, 'Titanic': Her role as Rose at a young age of 22 is as iconic as the movie itself. Given the theme of the movie, her experience is scary by all accounts. Winslet reportedly ‘almost drowned’ after her coat got stuck during a scene showing the sinking of the ship. In an LA Times report from 1997, she was lucky to be alive and was out of breath by the time she managed to shimmy out of the coat. Image Credit: insta/kate.winslet.official •
