Just don’t expect her to be the one to make it: “Moviemaking becomes a little pointless after a time,” she told The New Yorker in 2007. “You think, ‘Well, yes, that’s an incredible role, and, yes, it would probably stretch me as an actor. An argument could be made that she’s the most esteemed actress of her generation. You can’t even pin all her accents down how do you expect to get a bead on the actress herself? She has already won two Oscars and been nominated for four others. When we sat down to rank Blanchett’s movies, we counted 11 different ones, along with a few of indeterminate origin. She also can nail every accent in the book. That’s a combination that’s nearly impossible to come by. “I do like to preserve the mystique of the thing, for myself as much as anyone else,” she has said. She has been forever daring, uncompromising and perpetually, resolutely, herself. The key to Blanchett’s appeal and skill, we’d argue, is her ability to combine relatability and elusiveness: She is always completely present and yet just out of grasp. And she was, of course, just getting started. She graduated from Sydney’s National of Institute of Dramatic Art in 1992, became the hottest theater actress on the continent by 1994, was starring in big sweeping Hollywood romances by 1997, and nominated for an Oscar by 1998.
She has become the rare actor who can headline anything, from weepy dramas to action films to experimental art pieces to silly comedies. Her second film was Oscar and Lucinda, which she stole from Ralph Fiennes at the peak of his stardom ever since, every Cate Blanchett movie has been A Cate Blanchett Movie. Her first-ever movie role, after just a few years in the theater, was supporting Glenn Close and Frances McDormand - two formidable actresses in their own right - in Paradise Road, but that was the last time (even when she was playing smaller roles) she would ever “support” anybody. This article was originally published in 2017 and has been updated to include Cate Blanchett’s latest work.Ĭate Blanchett has been a star since the very first second we met her.
