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!
You said it perfectly.
🙋🏻
Her versatility is truly astonishing.
It is indeed. She kind harkens back to old Hollywood.
I get that vibe from her too, she has the classic glamour going on.
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.
Bang on! Certainly one of the greatest actress of our time and one of my favorite as well!
She never puts a foot wrong and I respect her taking daring roles. Looking through her credits, her versatility and power speak for themselves.
She is brilliant. Her work in Blue Jasmine…so real, it was hard for me to watch. 💕
I loved her work in Blue Jasmine, she just hit every emotion perfectly.
She’s a keeper! 🙂
That she most definitely is.
🙂
I love the positive energy your comments bring.
Thank you that is very kind of you to say. 🙂
It’s the truth, your comments always have a positivity to them.
Thank you Vinnieh much appreciated.
I just like connecting with interesting people of which you most definitely are.
She was luminous in LOTR, not a taxing role as some she has done, but she was a perfect elven queen.
She was perfectly cast and in the first film, I loved her narration at the beginning.
…. still waiting for Cate Blanchett to do low-brow comedy.
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.
I think it’s possible for her to play anything.
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.
She is that kind of actress, the movie can be bad and yet she still shines.
That’s the sign of a great actor for me.
Exactly, I could Cate Blanchett in anything and I know she’d own it.
A very talented lady, and perfect in so many roles too.
Cheers mate, Pete.
You said it Pete, she is so extremely talented and so often makes movies.
I can’t believe she’s 47. She looks incredible!
I know, she is a beautiful woman who doesn’t seem to age.
I am late and I don’t care, because I LOVE CATE!! You said it all, Vinnie! She’s a force of nature ❤
Never apologise for being late. She is one of my favourite actresses and her talent has me in awe.
Agreed! I love all the movies that I have seen with her, she’s a goddess!!
Goddess Cate, joining the ranks of Venus and Aphrodite.
Amen to that!!!
An elegant and talented lady!
I just love how classy and graceful she is. In interviews, she seems to be really funny and up for a laugh, but on screen she is such a professional.
Pretty much perfect, I love it when people I admire are also nice and funny etc 🙂
I do too. Blanchett always comes off as so warm and approachable, unlike some stars who go full diva.
I hate divas!!! Unless….they’re Madonna of course 🙂
Madonna is an exception, she’s a hard working woman who deserves the applause and plaudits.
It’s who she is!
Madonna ain’t gonna change for anyone, she’ll always do her own thing.
