LEONARDO DICAPRIO AND KATE WINSLET ''We're like one of those old couples in When Harry Met Sally,'' he says.These two know each other well. Twelve years ago they strapped on a pair of harnesses and leaned innocently into the prow of a doomed ship. The Titanic sank, box office soared. Then what was the most expensive movie ever made went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time. Suddenly the young stars couldn't escape their sudden fame. ''We did Titanic and then Leo went off, and I thought, 'Oh, dear Lord, protect him,' '' says Kathy Bates, who played the Unsinkable Molly Brown. ''Because Hollywood can be so destructive. I guess I worried less about Kate, because she was in the English system and I knew she'd have wonderful parts that would keep her feet on the ground. But I knew through it all, they'd be truly, truly friends to each other.''
Hollywood has been panting to rekindle their romance on screen ever since. However, the duo decided long ago that their days of star-crossed swooning were behind them. It wasn't until Winslet read Richard Yates' novel Revolutionary Road, a classic tale of '50s suburban regret about a young married couple desperate to escape the dreariness of their lives, that she figured a reunion was in order.
