Just writing in to tell you that Cate Blanchett was on the Rosie O’Donnell Show today. She seemed to be not as nervous as she was on Letterman, but then again Rosie is really good about making her guests feel comfortable and welcome, even if she’s never met them before. Cate was all warm and smiling as she talked about her baby, and how she and her husband both love the baby’s cute little ears. She also talked about her marathon film shooting schedule, going from movie to movie to movie. They showed a clip from Lord of the Rings, as well as Charlotte Grey. At the end, Rosie gave her a present for the baby – some sort of mini playset – which Cate gratiously accepted.
