Los Angeles, Jan 1 : Director Jason Reitman, who worked with Kate Winslet in his film "Labor Day", is in awe of the "Titanic" actress.

The director said he is so fond of the actress that he would prefer waiting for her dates rather than cast somebody else in a role that suits only her, reports contactmusic. com.

"Kate Winslet is one of the greatest actresses living today, and that there will ever be. If I've got a script that Kate Winslet is willing to say yes to, I will wait a year, I will wait five years," Bang Showbiz quoted Reitman as saying.

"Labor Day" was a drama film based on an eponymous novel Joyce Maynard. It also featured Josh Brolin. (IANS)
