She performed on stage for several years with the Sydney Theatre Company, including a 1993 production of <a href="/people/516/000022450/">David Mamet</a>'s Oleanna opposite <a href="/people/126/000025051/">Geoffrey Rush</a>. She had a supporting role in Police Rescue, a 1994 big screen outing for a long-running Australian TV series about heroic coppers. After two Australian miniseries, she worked on stage with Rush again, in a production of Hamlet. She won positive reviews for the down under dark romantic comedy Thank God He Met Lizzie. Her next film, Oscar and Lucinda with <a href="/people/668/000023599/">Ralph Fiennes</a>, was well-received in American art houses, as was her performance as the Queen in Elizabeth. She later played the Queen of the elves in the Lord of the Rings movies, <a href="/people/775/000023706/">Katharine Hepburn</a> in The Aviator, and herself and her cousin in <a href="/people/910/000043781/">Jim Jarmusch</a>'s Coffee & Cigarettes. While filming a <a href="/people/365/000025290/">Ron Howard</a> film called The Missing, Blanchett says she "forged an intimate connection to the land." She has since donated to Forest Guardians, a group that supports creation of wild animal preserves. She is said to be a distant descendant of <a href="/people/256/000206635/">Louis Bl閞iot</a>, the first aviator to cross the English Channel. <hr width=25% size=1 align=left><a name="FN1">[1] Ramin Setoodeh, "Cate Blanchett Opens the Closet Door with Lesbian Romance Carol", Variety, 12 May 2015: "When asked if this is her first turn as a lesbian, Blanchett curls her lips into a smile. On film -- or in real life? she asks coyly. Pressed for details about whether she's had past relationships with women, she responds: Yes. Many times, but doesn't elaborate." Blanchett backtracked on this admission, positing that despite Variety's claim, she did elaborate: Catherine Shoard, "Cate Blanchett: I've Never Had a Sexual Relationship with a Woman", The Guardian, 17 May 2015: "From memory, the conversation ran: Have you had relationships with women? And I said: Yes, many times. Do you mean have I had sexual relationships with women? Then the answer is no. But that obviously didn抰 make it."
