In 2011, actress Kate Winslet was in Richard Branson’s private home in the British Virgin Islands when a fire broke out. Branson’s mother Eve was also in the house during the fire and was 90 years old at the time.

She had a hard time getting out on her own, so Winslet picked her up in her arms and carried her outside of the house. Eve didn’t have her contact lenses in, so she didn’t see Winslet coming up from behind her. She suspects that she was moving too slow for Winslet who was trying to get her children out of the house.
