Hannah Morrill. Kate Winslet, Unscripted, Allure, 2009-06-03. NOTE: Many sources claim that she wore a merkin by only quoting part of this interview (found in full in the printed issue): "Let me tell you, The Reader was not glamorous for me in terms of body-hair maintenance. I had to grow it in, because you can't have a landing strip in 1950, you know? And then because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn't come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough. I said, 'Guys, I am going to have to draw the line at a pubic wig, but you can shoot my own snatch up close and personal.'" Another Allure source (used here) also says she didn't wear it.
