“There’s this sense that of course you want to be famous. When you’re a performer, of course you want an audience, but it’s very, very different from courting fame.”

Cate Blanchett appeared as the elf lady Galadriel in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy from 2001 to 2003. In 2004, Blanchett’s portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator brought her numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Blanchett’s other films include Babel (2006), Notes on a Scandal (2006), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008). Blanchett collaborated with director Peter Jackson again for what is to be The Hobbit trilogy (2012-2014).

“When asked what colour her hair is: “Look, it’s one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I’m vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don’t know.”
