Cate Blanchett exhumes Hollywood’s golden era

Next year, she resumes her role as Queen Elizabeth I in Kapur’s sequel The Golden Age, which examines the monarch’s relationship with the explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. She will be one of seven actors representing some aspect of the life and work of Bob Dylan in Todd HaynesI’m Not There. And in 2008, she’ll play a young woman in a relationship with an older man who’s aging backward in David Fincher’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Pretty good going for someone who insists that she’s “never been on the road to anywhere in particular.” But those of us who hanker for the golden days when movie stars were shaped by their personalities, not by publicists, would love to see her star shine brighter yet.
