Oscar winning-actress Kate Winslet, who turns 49 on Saturday, says  she doesn't want a "big" birthday celebration and instead wants to spend the year doing 50 “remarkable things.”

"I don’t like big parties, and I can’t stand surprises. I want to spend the year doing 50 remarkable things, whether that’s a particular hike I’ve never done, or a place I’ve never been, acts of kindness — I’m gathering a little list," she told people.com.
