Today marks the 47th birthday of the wonderfully luminous and ridiculously talented Cate Blanchett. I can’t stress enough how much she is one of my favourite actresses and how her presence on screen is reliably excellent. She is the most versatile performer, capable of completely disappearing into her roles and delivering stunning performance after stunning performance. And she does is with so much power and vigour, she is a force of nature and a stunning beauty. It is impossible to take your eyes off Blanchett with her statuesque frame, defined cheekbones and porcelain skin. She is a performer in every sense of the word who never fails to dazzle audiences and critics. So Happy Birthday Cate Blanchett; may you have so many more electrifying roles and performances in the future.
A great actress and a class act!

There were two years at the turn of the century where she had five roles so diverse in genre, nationality and period that she staked her claim as the Meryl Streep of her generation and she’s never looked back. One of the greats.

I definitely agree with the comparison to Streep. Both are so incredibly versatile performers.

She was luminous in LOTR, not a taxing role as some she has done, but she was a perfect elven queen.

Well she is known for her versatility so it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw her in something in that vein sometime in the future.

She can be funny. If you’ve seen the segment she did in Coffee and Cigarettes where she played herself and her cousin. There is no question she can do comedy and I think she could play a female variation of…. the Dude.

Such elegance and grace. I like her even in films I don’t like. I hated Benjamin Button but she was incredible in that. And fitting she did ballet in the film.
