Cate Blanchett BiographyCate Blanchett is the product of an Australian mother and a Texan father. One of three children (has an older brother Bob & younger sister Genevive), Cate was raised by her mother following her father's passing when she was ten. Cate grew up in Melbourne, and she began her studies of fine arts and economics at the University of Melbourne. She then attended Methodist Ladies College, where she was part of "Cato" House drama group. Cate graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art in 1992 and, in a little over a year, had won both critical and popular acclaim. Blanchett graduated from the NIDA in 1992 and began appearing on television and in theatrical productions staged at the Sydney Theatre Company, making her impact two years later playing the female lead in David Mamet's Oleanna. She then co-starred in the ABC Television's prime time drama "Heartland" (1994) (mini), again winning critical acclaim. In 1995, she was nominated for Best Female Performance for her role as Ophelia in the Belvoir Street Theatre Company's production of "Hamlet". She made her feature debut as a shy Australian nurse in Bruce Beresford's, Paradise Road. She next starred in Cherie Nowlan's debut feature, Thank God He Met Lizzie, playing the title role. For this, Cate won the prestigious AFI (Australian Film Institute) Best Supporting Actress Award. In June of 1997, she married Andrew Upton, a script and continuity editor she had met on the Parklands shoot. It took only one year for Blanchett to see her world change completely. It was Cate's star making portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I in Shekhar Kapur's "Elizabeth" (1998) that shot her into the stratosphere in terms of both popular and critical acclaim. Her stunning metamorphosis from innocent, love struck young lass to the hardened, seemingly calcified; ruler of England was stunning and heartbreaking, igniting a firestorm of focused attention within the film community. As a result of "Elizabeth", Cate was honored with the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Dramatic Motion Picture, and was designated Best Actress for her performance by The Broadcast Film Critics Association, The Chicago Film Critics Association, The London Critics Circle, The Golden Satellite Awards, The Toronto Film Critics Association, and The Online Film Critics Society. Projects began to roll in from all over after Elizabeth; 1999 saw the release of Pushing Tin with Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie, the romantic comedy An Ideal Husband, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. The whirlwind continued in 2000 with The Gift, co-starring Katie Holmes, and The Man Who Cried, followed by Bandits, Charlotte Gray and The Shipping News in 2001. Cate's fans rejoiced at the news that she had joined the cast of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" (2001) playing the part of the beautiful elf Queen, Galadriel. Most recently, in February 2005, Blanchett gained superstardom status by earning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of the renowned Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese’s classic drama The Aviator.Blanchett in Elizabeth sequelIndian director Shekhar Kapur is ecstatic about his plans for a sequel to Elizabeth with Hollywood beauty Cate Blanchett reprising her Oscar- nominated role as the virgin Queen of Britain.

Cate's Secret Wish
In an interview she gave to Fox Television Network, she admitted blushingly that she had accepted the role of Galadriel, the Elf Queen, in The Lord of the Rings trilogy because she always wanted to appear in a movie wearing pointed ears.

Cate met Andrew Upton in Australia and two weeks after they met he proposed. A few weeks after that they married. Blanchett has managed to preserve the privacy of rest of her family: her mother, Joan; her elder brother, Bob; and her younger sister Genevieve.
She carries herself with grace and a regal elegance that is reflected in her tall stature, porcelain skin and curvaceous body. The graceful pale yellow dress she wore to the 2005 Academy Awards wowed the crowd. Chosen as one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful." [1999]. 
"If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously!" "If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state."
