[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And Cate B is almost 50 and I feel like she’s been in about 5 movies. Meryl, about 100. I don’t know what the make of OP’s “indie flick” requirement but I don’t think any of these actors have done lots of indie films. [/quote]

IMDB has Meryl as actress in 83 movies; Cate Blanchett as actress in 68 movies.  Meryl is 20 years older than Cate.  Plenty of time for Cate to catch up.  [/quote]

Cate also does a ton of theater--she regularly performs with the Sydney Theater Company (and was an artistic director there for many years), as well as other theaters.  I've seen her in A Streetcar Named Desire and Uncle Vanya, and she's great.

I think Meryl Streep is, hands-down, the best living actress and the best of her generation, but this post made me think about what I've seen Blanchett in: Elizabeth, An Ideal Husband, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Lord of the Rings series, The Life Aquatic, The Aviator, Notes on a Scandal, Blue Jasmine, The Monuments Men, Carol, and Ocean's Eight.  A pretty good range, really, and she's 49, so still time for some more good roles a la Streep.   [/quote]
