"How would you communicate to the world who you are in a single quote? What words would you choose?" were the questions Kate Winslet posed to 100 A-list celebrities for her upcoming book, The Golden Hat: Talking Back to Autism, which is due out on Tuesday, March 27. All proceeds will go to Winslet's non-profit Golden Hat Foundation, which aims to eliminate communication barriers for people with autism.

Whether through crashing parties, sending emails, or leaving pleading phone messages, the Oscar-winning actress convinced dozens of celebrities to take part in the project. She literally passed her hat on them -- a well-worn Trilby fedora -- with self-portrait instructions to "put the hat on your head and think about how much we take communication for granted."

Here, TheaterMania provides you with an exclusive first look at some of the images in Winslet's remarkable book, with shots from stage veterans Kim Cattrall, George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Jude Law, Julianne Moore, Cynthia Nixon, and Meryl Streep.

Not sure what he's trying to communicate here: "Hey, I have a toaster in my kitchen" maybe? Or, "I can't close kitchen cupboard doors" perhaps?

It's good to see a bit of "clutter" lives in his kitchen
when the cameras aren't there !
Just like the rest of us..... Georgie Boy

I wonder what's in the blue/yellow tube on the counter top? I absolutely love this photo. I have a thing for fedoras.

amazing pic
thanks

I guess he likes owls. It's always nice to see other people with knick knacky crap. I'm swimming in it

CRS-read somewhere that he would sit in his hot tub in the wee hours and listen to the owls. Just one of the many things that was written, but may have no truth to it.

sit in his hot tub in the wee hours and listen to the owls


hum?
real?

Are we sure that's George's kitchen? Could it be a view out of Nick and Nina's in KY? Or even Keibler's folks in Baltimore after the Raven's game?

Fair point, adgran, no we can't be sure where this was taken. Could've been anywhere. Even a hotel suite.

The window frames and foliage outside seem to match what we've seen of his house, but really that's not a definitive proof.

Think it may be a view from his kitchen. Yes it's me who knows if it's true,but his house in LA is surrounded by wilderness. He even gets rattle snakes on his property.

This picture is conflicting

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has added another string to her bow by becoming an author – with a little help from her famous friends.

The Titanic star’s debut book, The Golden Hat, features self-taken photographs of celebrities – including George Clooney, Leonardo Di Caprio and Penelope Cruz – wearing her favourite trilby hat to raise awareness of autism.

The book was inspired by Winslet’s experience working on the 2009 documentary, A Mother’s Courage, about a young boy, Keli Dagmar, who has a severe form of non-verbal autism.

George Clooney in the trilby. If he couldn't speak but the hat enabled him to, he would say: 'I'm sorry about Batman And Robin'
The name of the book, which was published last week, was taken from a poem by Keli.

‘In the poem, a magical golden hat enables him to speak when he wears it,’ Winslet, 36, explained.

Alongside the self-portraits are the stars’ responses to the question: ‘If you couldn’t speak but this hat enabled you to do so, what would you like to say?’

Actress Angelina Jolie, whose famous pout is the only part of her face visible beneath the trilby, says her first words would be: ‘Eat vegetables’.

Meanwhile, Clooney captions his picture ‘I’m sorry about Batman And Robin’ – a reference to his 1997 film that was voted the worst-ever by Empire magazine.

Actors Jude Law and Ben Stiller, actress Emily Blunt, Sir Richard Branson and U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour are among the other celebrities featured.
The Golden Hat is Kate Winslet's debut book. It was inspired by her experience working on the 2009 documentary, A Mother's Courage
Actress Marion Cotillard, who is pictured make-up free in a simple black T-shirt, says her words would be: ‘Silence is an energy; silence tells something; silence is a part of the world.’

Keli’s mother Margret – who was advised to put her son in an institution but instead embarked on a mission to help him integrate with society – wrote to Winslet asking for help making a documentary about the family’s plight.

Kate agreed to narrate the film for free and the two women became firm friends, together founding the autism charity Golden Hat Foundation.

Winslet, who says she came up with the idea for The Golden Hat while she was brushing her teeth one night, has described the photographs as ‘an intimate glimpse into the real world of these people lending their voices to those without’.

She added: ‘I am hoping to raise awareness about the challenges facing children with autism.’

All proceeds from sales of the book will go to the Golden Hat Foundation.

great idea
to let people know more about such disease

Hope you don't mind but I've just moved this to the thread where we were already talking about it.

Sorry Katie I just added the photie to the post...didn't check to see if it was already here...

No worries. Always better twice than not at all - especially when it's photos of George!

Ill throw my vote in for his kitchen. The cabinets, counter tops, and window shades match what we saw in the Person to Person thing.

LOL @ Katie's "Hey, I have a toaster!" comment.

Was this taken sometime around his elbow surgery? It looks like he has a black compression wrap on his right elbow; plus the blue and yellow bottle reminds me of a prescription bottle, and is that white stuff near the ziploc bags bandages? It kind of looks like that small white bandage thingy he wears around that elbow sometimes.

right!

and the owl???

(btw nice idea the film 'strip' links )

There is a myth that owls keep snakes away, even fake owls, but some people has debunked that myth as untrue. If George has so many snakes, there's a reason. Snakes come for food, so what does George have that is bringing in snakes? A bird feeder will have bird seed around it, mice eat the bird seeds, snakes eat the mice. A fish pond brings in toads and frogs, snakes eat these guys.

I remember going to sleep listening to owls and frogs at night. Very relazing

George has a very kissable mouth!

There's a quote around somewhere by George about how likes to sit in the hot tub at night listening to the owls in the trees around his house.
I have that in common with him



.....Listening to owls in the trees around my house, that is

Oh Joanna, you can tell us about your late night hot-tubbing with George. We won't tell anyone else!!!

OK Joanna, don't be coy. Make room in that hot tub for all of us now. I'll bring the Sangria and ice!

definately his kitchen, hardware, soap etc. match the kitchen in person to person house tour.

Thanks for bringing us back on topic, fava!

George has a very kissable mouth!

ALL kissable, Play!!!
