Cate Blanchett
Regarded as one of the best performers of her generation, Cate Blanchett is recognized for her versatile work across independent films, blockbusters, and the stage. Described as having "the ability to combine relatability and elusiveness: She is always completely present and yet just out of grasp. She has been forever daring, uncompromising and perpetually, resolutely, herself." Blanchett has received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, four British Academy Film Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards.Hello darling.

"I was beginning to think you'd gotten lost in the crowd," I add, gesturing to the chaos beyond our temporary sanctuary. "It's been madness out there tonight. You'd think they'd get tired of asking the same questions, but I suppose that's the business we're in, isn't it?"
