Biography
Catherine Elise Blanchett was born on May 14, 1969, in Melbourne, Australia. With an Aussie mother and a Texan father, she was exposed to a range of cultures. When Cate was merely 10 years old, her father passed away, leaving her mother to take care of not only Cate, but also a younger sister and older brother. Her first taste of acting came when she joined a drama group at her Methodist College, playing small roles in small time plays. At the University of Melbourne, Blanchett began studying art history before she decided to continue her education abroad. After spending some time in England, she did some traveling in Egypt, where she was asked to be an extra in a boxing movie being shot nearby.
