Cate Blanchett Wiki, Biography, Age, Height, Rumors, Family & Net Worth

Let’s be honest, you are going to skip this part of the article, aren’t you? No matter how much I try to make it sound interesting and unique, you will be dragged to the sections of the article that you are interested in. Still, I feel that I should write this introductory note for you readers.

It is the only way I can feel that we are having a conversation in real life. Think about it like meeting each other in a cafe to discuss (read: gossip) about our favorite stars and celebrities. We just don’t start talking about the main topic when we meet, do we?

With that being said, now that I have been (probably) successful in establishing a relationship and connection between you and me, it will be much easier for me to talk to you about Cate Blanchett. Because now I don’t feel like I am talking to myself!

Born in May 1969 in Australia, Cate Blanchett was a loving and doting daughter to her parents.

After losing her father at such a young age, she was raised by her mother (who never remarried) and her grandmother, who had moved in to assist her mother.
