After working for several years in Hollywood, Cate Blanchett decided it was time to venture into different genres of films.

Among her many dramatic roles were the lead roles in two of her favorite films of all time, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Rounders. This film was followed by the equally successful Meet the Parents, which further cemented Blanchett’s place in Hollywood.
After finishing a turn in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Blanchett returned to her more mainstream film roles, playing the mother in the well known Sydney film, Notting Hill with Geoff Rush.
