Kate Winslet defended her decision to take on a role in Woody Allen’s upcoming Amazon flick “Wonder Wheel,” saying she compartmentalized working with the director, separating the experience from the sexual abuse allegations lodged against him. “Of course one thinks about it,” Winslet told The New York Times in a recent interview. “But at the same time, I didn’t know Woody and I don’t know anything about that family. I had an extraordinary working experience with both of those men, and that’s the truth.”“Wonder Wheel,” produced by Amazon Studios, is about the wife of a carousel operator who falls for a young lifeguard. Winslet, who has described the filming experience as “utterly incredible,” told the Times that she took the role, in part, because she knew her parents “would be incredibly proud of me working with Woody Allen.”
