Cate Blanchett is the Modern Master

Cate Blanchett is the Modern Master

Mom-to-be Cate Blanchett (in Herve Leroux) attends the Santa Barbara International Film Festival at the at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, Calif. on Saturday.

The 38-year-old Aussie beauty received the highest honor as the 2008 Modern Master (Will Smith won last year). She was recently interviewed by SBIFF and here’s an excerpt Q&A:

And you have managed to [provoke, inspire, challenge, and reawaken ideas] by being involved in so many thinking-person’s films. I wonder if that has always been a premium for you? Yes, box-office death (laughs), those thinking-people’s films. I don’t know. I’ve been involved in films that have worked and have not found an audience. I’ve been involved in films that have found an audience and haven’t necessarily been the best films in the world. I’ve been involved in projects that fall somewhere in between all of those goalposts. It has been an interesting experience, particularly having gone to drama school and never really being fascinated by films, to tell you the truth. It was never particularly a mecca for me. Working in the film industry wasn’t a destination for me, because I couldn’t consume film the way I could the live experience. Maybe that’s why I’ve been fortunate in my experiences. I haven’t been so ambitious to try and get somewhere in the film industry. I feel like I’ve been meandering.

Fantastic Actress and a good looking woman. Hollywood is on a baby boom and that’s a good thing!

“Yes, box-office death (laughs), those thinking-people’s ”

I like are answer, she knows that thinking movies do not usually make money. Unforturnately people don,t want to think

Most of her movies don,t make money, but, she is still a good actress, good acting is not determined by box office return.

She is a class act and a amazing talent. She keeps it professional and surrounds her fame with her craft.

Good for her, a true beauty in Hollywood.

again with the botox crap? in close ups you can see how wrinkly she is but i would rather be wrinkly like cate than frozen like Kidman.

She seems to take her talent seriously and makes good choices

That green dress is divine!

The reason she looks so great is because SHE GAINED WEIGHT with the pregnancy. She and other stars look strained and older and hard when they get so thin. Weight gives some flesh, some softness, less wrinkles. Colette, the famous French writer said, “At some point in every woman’s life she needs to decide between her face and her derriere (ass).

This woman can dress! She has iconic style as far as I am concerned. She is like Marlene Dietrich crossed with Katherine Hepburn. Her and Charlize Theron are the only actresses that exude old hollywood movie star quality.

oh my god last week i titfucked her and gave her a facial cumshot
that was hot!!
