Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth I and Elizabeth the Golden Age
Perhaps of our generation anyway Cate Blanchett is one of the more recognisable faces of Actors who have played the famous monarch. Like a few of the Actors on this list she has re-played the part from the 'Elizabeth I' in 1998 to 'Elizabeth the Golden Age' in 2007.
Cate Blanchetts young and glowing face is perfect for the role her naturally pale colouring and fair skin. The Australian beauty is a great Elizabeth. In class we have started watching Elizabeth, where Cate Blanchett first debuted as the Red headed Queen. Looking into the makeup and hair of the entire film to inspire us for our New Elizabethans project.

| Digital Spy Diamond jubilee special: 20 memorable movie queens |
Judi Dench has a small part in 'Shakespeare in Love' 1998 playing Elizabeth.
All the actors that have portrayed Elizabeth have quite visibly all taken on the look of Elizabeth, Cate Blanchett is also portraying a young Elizabeth with the long flowing hair. The actors white skin and high foreheads are all shown in their television/Movie debuts.
The dedicated this modern day ladies have taken to look like the Virgin Queen herself is in its extreme. The look itself is extravagant like who these days would colour their face white and shave their foreheads? The actual Elizabeth herself
