Returning to her roots
The Elizabeth sequel and the highly anticipated fourth Indiana Jones film find Blanchett at the height of her career. She has, however, recently stepped away from Hollywood to take on a new role closer to home.

Blanchett and her playwright husband, Andrew Upton, moved back to their native Australia last year. This past January, the couple became the artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company, where Blanchett's career began. Together, they oversee three stages, 12 actors, an education department and over a dozen productions a year.

Blanchett and her husband felt compelled to return to Sydney, along with their three children. After living all over the world, she says, "something really hit us in the gut. It's just a feeling about what home is."

Fans of Blanchett's films shouldn't despair, however. She can still be found on the big screen this year. After Indiana Jones, she'll star in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, an unusual story about a man who ages backward.

With Blanchett's talent and passion for acting, it's likely that she will grace the stage and screen for many years to come.
