'''[[Cate Blanchett]]''' (1969 - present) is an award-winning Australian actress and stage director who burst onto the international stage in 1998 in an Oscar-nominated performance as Queen Elizabeth I in ''[[Elizabeth (film)|Elizabeth]]''.
Her most high-profile role since has been that of the elf queen [[Lord of the Rings|Galadriel]] in [[Peter Jackson]]'s ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy, but she has also played [[Bob Dylan]] in ''[[I'm Not There]]'', Daisy in ''[[The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]'', [[Katharine Hepburn]] in ''[[The Aviator]]'' opposite [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] (for which she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her the first actor to win an Oscar for playing a real-life Oscar winner), Sheba Hart in ''Notes on a Scandal'' with Judi Dench, the completely awesome <s>Maid Marian</s> Lady Marion Loxley in ''[[Robin Hood (2010 film)]]'' and [[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull|an oddly sexy Russian scientist]].
She is known for her smoky voice and ethereal, almost elfin face as well as her tremendous talent and ability with accents. [[Meryl Streep]] has listed her as one of her favorite actresses currently working, and she has been called multiple times "the greatest actress of her generation."

* [[Dye Hard]]: She may well have gone through the entire spectrum of hair colours in her roles.
* <s> [[English Rose|English]]</s> [[Land Down Under|Aussie Rose]]
* [[Fake Brit]]: Very often plays English characters.
* [[Fake Russian]]: Averted by her role in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]''. Her accent was noted to be pretty accurate.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[The High Queen]]: Her roles as [[Elizabeth (film)||Elizabeth I]] and [[Lord of the Rings|Galadriel]] pretty much embody the trope.
* [[Land Down Under]]
* [[One of Us]]
