Cate Blanchett has proved that she is a seriously talented actress. She's just been in the lastest Indiana Jones epic, and last year she was seen in Notes of a Scandal and Babel. Before that, she won an Oscar for playing Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator. She may not earn Julia Roberts type money, but she can act most of the big name acting talent off the screen.

Look at the quality of the directors, she's worked with:Scorsese,Spielberg, Minghella and Soderbergh. I recently saw her in Elizabeth : The Golden Years and once again, she played Good Queen Bess with ease.Pushing Tin, The Talented Mr Ripley,Veronica Guerin,Bandits and Life Aquatic are all examples of the range of films that she's worked in.

The thing is that this an actress who does not lead a public life like Sienna Miller or Angelina Jolie.We know next to nothing about her private life. In the age of the internet and endless celebrity magazines, it is possible to keep a private life if you choose to do so.Some actresses of lesser talent, bring the media attention on themselves by changing boyfriends every two seconds and then claim that they are not taken seriously.

No one will take notice of your talent, if insist on leading a very public life.

Take note, Lindsay Lohan and Sienna"celebrity boyfriend"Miller.
