I’ve added various production stills and posters from a number of Cates movies to the gallery. Nothing new, just things that we were missing =). I have a few more movies to cap like The Shipping News and Veronica Guerin so keep checking back for those! I’m also working on a video archive for the site ;].
DVD Screen Captures of Cates role as Irina Spalko in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull have been added to the gallery! Not my favorite role of Cates but she did excellent still.
Screen captures of Cates role as Daisy in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button have been added to the gallery, thanks to Justine!
The gallery has been updated with screen captures, posters and promotional stills from Cates role as Annie Wilson in The Gift.
If movie fans didn’t know she was co-starring with Brad Pitt in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” they wouldn’t recognize Cate Blanchett when the film opens with a close-up of her in a hospital bed, as a withered old woman.
The 39-year-old Australian actress, an Academy Award winner for her 2004 portrait of Katharine Hepburn (“The Aviator“) and a two-time Oscar nominee last year as Queen Elizabeth (“Elizabeth: The Golden Age“) and Bob Dylan (“I’m Not There“), disappears into another challenging role in “Benjamin Button,” which opens Christmas Day.
She undergoes a striking transformation as the life of her character, Daisy, unfolds over eight decades, blossoming from a sprightly girl into a beautiful ballet dancer, then growing old while the love of her life inexplicably gets younger.
Blanchett says much of the credit for her metamorphosis goes to the “unbelievable” talent of makeup artists.
But the actress says her own performance was informed largely by experiences from her youth — from childhood ballet lessons, to a close relationship with her grandmother and to her first job, at 14, serving meals in an old-age home.
