Cate Blanchett

She not only plays the Queen, Bob Dylan, Katharine Hepburn and a number of fictional characters - she morphs her entire being into those film roles. The onscreen chameleon-slash-alien that is Oscar-winning Cate Blanchett appears to channel otherworldly realms in her work. The press finds her personal life boring, however, with only a small obsession with facemasks on her rap sheet. The ever-pregnant Australian actress was born on May 14, 1969, in Melbourne, and is married to writer/director/producer/gnome Andrew Upton.
