"TITANIC" star Kate Winslet has married her director boyfriend Sam Mendes in an intimate Caribbean ceremony, her publicist said on Monday.

　　The Oscar-nominated British actress took the plunge while holidaying with Mendes in late May, he added.

　　"Present were Winslet's daughter, Mia, and three close friends," the couple said in a statement, describing the event as a "small ceremony".

　　British director Mendes - best known for "American Beauty" - made theatre history in February when he became the first triple winner at Britain's prestigious Laurence Olivier awards.

　　Divorcee Winslet, 28, is best known for her performances in "Titanic", "Heavenly Creatures" and "Sense and Sensibility".

　　Her appearance on the cover of men's magazine GQ caused a storm in January, when editors admitted to heavily airbrushing out the voluptuous curves for which she is renowned.
