The Independent has a glorious article which simply oozes with unabashed praise for the almighty actress Cate Blanchett. This fall we'll see Cate in the (OMG!!1!!) sequel to Elizabeth called Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and as Geoffrey Macnab reports, she has already won Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her performance as Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' I'm Not There.
Calling her the "Katharine Hepburn of our time", Macnab pours over Cate's acting career, pointing out her intensity, brilliance and how her unique choice of roles is comparable to that of Hepburn's. Cate's personal slogan is, "If you know you are going to fail, then fail gloriously" and if that wasn't enough reason to love her, she describes her first role as a student who accuses her professor of sexual harassment in David Mamet's Oleanna as a "misogynist piece of crap."
