Cate Blanchett's Revelation: Oscar Winner Admits She's Had 'Many' Intimate Relationships w/Women
The London Daily Mail ^ | 16:57 EST, 12 May 2015

Posted on 05/13/2015 12:12:08 PM PDT by drewh

Cate Blanchett has been married for 18 years to Andrew Upton. But on Tuesday the 45-year-old actress dropped a bombshell to Variety when promoting her new movie Carol, in which she plays a bisexual woman. When asked if this was her first turn as a lesbian, the Oscar winner smiled and said, 'On film — or in real life?' When pushed to confirm she's had relationships with women, the mother-of-four said, 'Yes. Many times.'

The Cinderella actress did not offer any more details to reporter Ramin Setoodeh. The star was asked if she could define her character Carol's sexual orientation. 'I never thought about it,' she said. 'I don’t think Carol thought about it.' As far as getting into the role, the Elizabeth star said, 'I read a lot of girl-on-girl books from the period.'

In Carol, the actress plays Carol Aird opposite Rooney Mara's Therese Belivet. Mara is 30-years-old. The film is based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 book The Price Of Salt, which was considered scandalous at the time. It's about a department-store clerk who dreams of a better life. She then falls for an older, married woman. The tale is set in 1950s New York City. Carol also stars Kyle Chandler as Harge Aird and Sarah Paulson as Abby Gerhard. The director is Todd Haynes.

The film was in development for 15 years. It will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17. Blanchett also read The Private Life: Why We Remain In The Dark by psychoanalyst Josh Cohen. Cate has never before hinted that she could be interested in the same sex. She has four children with her husband Upton. The star is best known for her daring roles such as the incomparable queen in 1998's Elizabeth and Galadriel in 2001's The Lord Of The Rings.

The article is about a new movie coming out (uhm...) appearing soon, regarding a lesbian, so perhaps she’s a method actress?

Oh c’mon! I would guess that AT LEAST 80 or so percent of all working actresses could say the same thing if they felt like it.

If a girl who dates a gay man to give him cover is a beard, what do you call a guy who is with a lesbian? A boob??

A Van Dyke

She can do whatever she wants but why let the world know and do that to your children. This will definitely get her an Oscar with the help of Hollywood. The lefties will love her, but her own family will be confused.

Bingo! These people are publicity sluts. Maybe she’s telling the truth, maybe making it up.

I’m sick of people announcing what slobs they are. Note this married woman didn’t say she had one lesbian relationship, or something deep with a person or two in her life.

No, it’s I’m married with a family but I’ve been having sex with “many” women.

Oh I know we get in trouble for saying duh you are a slut.

Who does she think she is?

Tilda Swinton?

Wondering if there's some kind of lucrative copyright infringement law suit in this ...

You’re probably right. That’s why they’re all alcoholics and druggies.

I’m not saying she’s not gorgeous, and an incredible actress to boot. In fact, I think she’s one of the few in the Meryl Streep category.

But her masculine qualities are not exactly hidden, either.

>>Lighten up Francis, the same vein as the Guilty or Not meme...
 

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".

It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.   "

>>i’ve never heard of a Cate Blanchett but why should we be interested in who or what she ‘sleeps’ with?

You mean other than she’s one of the Judas goats the perverts at Disney use to desensitize children toward their reprobate lifestyle ala their big-screen fantasy crap?
