Cate Blanchett is celebrating her 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress Cate Blanchett (Carol, Blue Jasmine, The Aviator, Elizabeth, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Blanchett, a cultural icon

Born Catherine Élise Blanchett in Melbourne on May 14, 1969, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Australian history. Blanchett's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Cate hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Cate Blanchett as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 57.

Happy Birthday, Cate, you're the best!
