Cate Blanchett Married, Husband, Kids, Gay
While blonde beauties are often stereotyped as "dumb," no one can say the same about Cate Blanchett.
The Australian actress has not only survived in Hollywood for decades, but she has also become a leading lady with many awards and accolades under her belt.
Her success did not follow because she was fame-hungry; it came because of a determination to outdo her flair. The artist of 5 feet 8 inches (1.72m) had earlier worked in theatre for an enduring period and even bagged Helpmann Award for the Best Female Actor in a Play, four times.
Her dedication to acting over the years proved the ancient saying true, "People who shine from within, don't seek the spotlight."

However, the first impressions went entirely wrong for the couple when they first met on a movie set. Andrew thought Cate was aloof, and she thought he was arrogant. As luck had them, they got to know each other better at a party over a poker game and hit it off right away.
