Oscar winner Cate Blanchett knows what it's powerful performance in 1998 in the movie Elizabeth catapulted the Australian actress to international stardom. In that film, she portrayed Queen Elizabeth I, one of England's most famous monarchs. Blanchett successfully reprised that famous role last fall in Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Blanchett not only plays royal roles but reigns as queen of the big screen as well. A true chameleon when it comes to acting, Blanchett has proved she can master almost any role. Parts ranging from musician Bob Dylan to the mysterious leading lady in the latest lndiana Jones Film have displayed her talent. With 32 released films under her belt in just over a decade, Blanchett is one of the world's most sought-after actresses.

Born near Melbourne in May 1969, Blanchett was often shy as a child. But she possessed an extroverted side as well and developed an early interest in performing. Blanchett recalls being deeply impressed by a magician at a birthday party she attended when she was six years old. From that time on, she dreamed of becoming a performer.
