Kate Winslet Fantasizes About Being Friends with Michelle Williams

While the Blue Valentine star may not be best friends with Kate, the actress – who has five-year-old daughter Matilda with her former fiancé, the late Heath Ledger - often turns to her close confidante Reese Witherspoon, 34, when she needs practical advice.

Michelle explained in February's Marie Claire: “To give credit where credit is due, I was sharing a difficulty I was experiencing with Reese Witherspoon, and she said, ‘Yes, I understand, but think about how much more difficult this would be without the luxury of a reliable, steady income.'”

While Michelle finds it difficult being a single mother, she does concede her wealth makes her life easier in some ways.
