For Cate Blanchett, It's Not Just a Job

Cate Blanchett is undoubtedly one of the greatest actresses of all time. Not only does she have the awards and the acting chops to prove it, she also possesses an astonishing amount of knowledge about the actual craft of acting and cinema. Whether she is discussing the power of the female gaze in Carol or the importance of reactive acting, Blanchett simply knows her stuff. Though she is maybe best known for her memorable transformative performances over the years – playing everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Bob Dylan — we love Blanchett because she loves what she does, and it’s contagious.

Our love of great performers makes us so excited that we just can’t hide it! Check out our video series on why we love Angela Bassett, Kristen Stewart, Christina Ricci, Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, and Julianne Moore.
