By MAX HAMATA, Associated Press Writer

WINDHOEK, Namibia - It looks like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got
what every parent wants - a healthy baby. While Namibian officials
declined Sunday to give any details on the birth Saturday of Shiloh
Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, a doctor at the hospital said there were no
complications and the mother and daughter were doing well.
"She is a healthy baby," the doctor said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to release information.
Police ringed the hospital with tight security Sunday, refusing to
admit journalists and photographers into the building.
Pitt's publicist Cindy Guagenti announced the birth Saturday night, but
said no other information or photographs would be released.
Samuel Nuuyoma, the governor of the Namibian region of Erongo,
confirmed the birth at the Welwitschia Clinic in Walvis Bay and seemed
to hint that key details would be released shortly.
"Any information relating to the birth of the baby will be made
available to the public soon," said Nuuyoma, who has become friends
with the celebrity couple.
The government has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect the privacy
of Jolie and Pitt, who came to Namibia to avoid photographers and in
the weeks leading up to the birth of their first child.
Namibia put tight security around their hotel and the hospital, set up
large green barriers to protect their privacy from photographers and
refused to grant visas to any foreign journalists unless they had
written permission from Jolie and Pitt to cover the birth.
Police have also arrested photographers and confiscated film.
Speculation about the birth escalated Tuesday when Pitt sent an e-mail
to the Cannes Film Festival that he was unable to attend the screening
of his new film "Babel" because of the baby's "imminent arrival."
In "Babel," directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, the 42-year-old
Pitt plays a husband and father trying to cope with a crisis on
vacation in Morocco. Cate Blanchett plays Pitt's wife, and the film
also stars Gael Garcia Bernal.
"I am tremendously proud of `Babel' and want to congratulate everyone
involved for this great achievement," Pitt said in the e-mail.
Jolie and Pitt were linked romantically shortly after appearing
together in the 2005 movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
Jolie, 30, is a frequent visitor to Africa and serves as goodwill
ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. She has two
adopted children: toddler Zahara, from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox,
from Cambodia. Both had their surnames legally changed to Jolie-Pitt
after Pitt announced his intentions to adopt the children as well.
Pitt and actress Jennifer Aniston divorced last fall.
Jolie, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in 1999's "Girl,
Interrupted," is divorced from Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee
Miller.

And if he weren't like chocolate, she would have told us that too, right?
I've learned to tune this crap out when a movie opens. One knows that they
aren't being sincere. I really liked the old Jennifer Lopez. When she did
a Movieline interview she dropped bombs on a lot of sacred cows. She's been
backtracking ever since. Why must they wait until someone dies (Rex
Harrison) before learning they had bad gas?

Cannes as motherland
Cate Blanchett and co-star Koji Yakusho arrive for the screening of Babel ,
which has been tipped for the top prize.
May 25, 2006
Parenthood added piquancy to two Australians' roles.
Deborra-Lee Furness put acting on hold for five years to take care of her
children. So she finds it a blessing that the film marking her return has
brought her to the world's biggest film festival.
Furness stars alongside Laura Linney and Gabriel Byrne in Jindabyne, which
had its world premiere overnight as part of the festival's highly regarded
Directors Fortnight program.
"I feel pretty damn blessed," Furness said after seeing the film for the
first time. "This is the first film I have done since my son was born and
how nice that it ends up in Cannes. I couldn't be more thrilled."
Her husband, Hugh Jackman, is by her side, and on Tuesday night they
attended the world premiere of his new action flick, X-Men: The Last Stand
(see review above).
Leah Purcell and John Howard also star in Jindabyne, which was shot in the
Snowy Mountains and is an adaptation of Raymond Carver's novel So Much Water
So Close To Home, which tells the story of a small community confronted by a
murder.
It is the first time Furness has been cast as a grandmother, something she
found confronting. "The truth is, it was frightening," she said. "It is set
in the country - they marry young. You can have 40-year-old grandmothers
there."
Also taking to the Cannes red carpet was Cate Blanchett, whose film Babel,
which is in competition, swept the audience off its feet. It has become
favourite in many eyes to win the top prize in the competition, the Palme
D'Or, and possibly Oscars next year.
Babel features an ensemble cast on three continents, weaving stories about
two Moroccan boys who accidentally shoot an American tourist, a nanny
illegally crossing into Mexico with two American children, and a Japanese
teen rebel whose father is sought by police in Tokyo.
The director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ( 21 Grams, Amores Perros),
stitches together these seemingly disparate story-lines into an emotional
drama that features Blanchett and Brad Pitt as Americans suddenly thrust
into a life-threatening crisis in a remote Moroccan village when she is
wounded after a bullet strikes their tour bus. The film also stars Gael
Garcia Bernal and Koji Yakusho.
" Babel was a title I found a couple of months before I started shooting,"
Inarritu said, "and the Old Testament [account] about men building this
tower and trying to arrive to the sky and be God. God gets angry and he
creates these different languages." But rather than languages that separate
us, the director said he was concerned with the "preconceptions" that we
have of one another that keep us apart.
For Blanchett it was not the most immediately appealing role - she spends
most of the time dying in a pool of blood. During filming the crew put meat
juice on her fake wound to attract flies.
But she hailed the film as a "masterpiece". She thought it explored the
connections between parents and children.
"It felt very personal to me," said the mother of two young boys, referring
especially to the scenes with the nanny attempting to return to San Diego
from her son's wedding in Mexico. She becomes lost on foot in the desert
with two small American children in her care.
Watching that drama unfold on screen, Blanchett said, was gut-wrenching. "I
mean, it's like pulling roots of my system out and displaying them on the
ground in front of me."
Blanchett also confirmed that she will appear as Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes's
unconventional biopic, I'm Not There, which begins shooting in July.

Cate rates Brad 'glorious, like chocolate'
May 25, 2006
OSCAR-WINNER Cate Blanchett has likened Brad Pitt to a glorious piece of
chocolate, saying she has wanted to work with the Hollywood hunk for a long
time.
Blanchett made the comments during a two-day break from filming Elizabeth:
The Golden Age in London to attend the world premiere of her new film,
Babel, at the Cannes International Film Festival.
The Australian star, who plays the Hollywood heart-throb's wife in the film,
said: "It's like chocolate - he is glorious and wonderful, and we've been
wanting to work with each other for a long time."
Blanchett had earlier been named to star opposite Pitt in The Fountain,
which was to have been shot in Australia. That project fell through, but the
film has now been made into a feature starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel
Weisz.
Meanwhile, Blanchett and Pitt got another opportunity to work together on
Babel, directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu of Mexico, who made 21 Grams
with Naomi Watts in 2003.
"To work together in quite an unexpected way and for Brad to be doing
something for this audience and working with Alejandro, it was an intensely
moving experience," Blanchett said.
Babel, which will be released in Australia later this year, tells three
different stories set in Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico and Japan.
Pitt sent a message to fans at Cannes about the "imminent arrival" of his
new baby.
Holed up in Namibia with his lover, Angelina Jolie, Pitt said the "newest
addition to our family" was due any time now.
Blanchett has only a minor role in Babel, but director Inarritu said no one
could have played it better.
"There are no small parts - it's just what you do with them," the Mexican
filmmaker said.
"Cate is the only one who could have done what she did - because in a role
that was minimal, she gave all because of the way she embodied and crafted
the character."
Blanchett is married to writer Andrew Upton, with whom she has two sons,
Dashiell and Roman.
Roman, her youngest son, suffered minor burns in an accident in Morocco
during the production of Babel, and he was flown to London for treatment.
Blanchett did not comment specifically on the May 2005 incident, but said:
"Being a parent, whenever I see a child in danger - particularly with an
irresponsible nanny running around the desert - it's like pulling the roots
of my system out and spraying them on the ground in front of me.
"It's very distressing. But it was great - my children were there and I have
some incredible photographs of them playing with the children in the
village, which was an astonishing experience for them to have."
Blanchett has a busy schedule ahead of her for the coming year, with three
more films in the works.

And this highlights a trap all such articles as this end up falling into.
They establish a thesis, show good examples to support it, and then attempt
to force bad examples to fit it. Neither Elizah nor Matilda are all that
uncommon and out of the norm for names.

What crap...I've known many people named Moses.
And I adore the name Apple. Some people just like unique names. I was
going to name my daugher, Rhiannon or Fresa...I ended up with a much
more common name but those two names were front runners for a time.

Why Stars Name Babies Moxie, Moses and Apple
By ALEX WILLIAMS
Published: April 16, 2006
IT'S a measure of what we have come to expect from celebrities to
consider that if Henry Fonda were alive and having children today, it
would seem as likely for him to name his daughter, say, Hanoi, as
simply to call her Jane.
Skip to next paragraph

mother, Beth Riesgraf.

Gwyneth Paltrow and her first-born, Apple Martin.
It seems almost unimaginable for any 21st-century movie star to send
his children out among the Hollywood elite equipped with ordinary names
like Michael, Eric, Joel and Peter, as Kirk Douglas once did.
This point was driven home again last week, when Gwyneth Paltrow and
her husband, Chris Martin, the frontman of the band Coldplay, named
their newborn son Moses. It was an unlikely enough name for a baby boy
born in 2006, but perhaps less startling than the much discussed (and
mocked) handle his sister, Apple, born two years ago, will carry
through life.
Not that a name like Apple Martin stands out among celebrity children
anymore. The director Peter Farrelly plucked that very name for his
daughter before Apple Martin came along. Even that name seems drab
compared with Hollywood baby names like Pilot Inspektor, cooked up by
Jason Lee, the star of "My Name Is Earl," or Banjo, the inspiration of
the "Six Feet Under" star Rachel Griffiths, or Moxie CrimeFighter, a
name chosen last year by the comedian and magician Penn Jillette for
his daughter.
Skeptics scoff at the mad rush by stars to come up with exotic baby
names as another means for the attention-hungry to grab headlines. But
psychologists and others who have worked with high-profile performers
say that the naming of children can function as a window into a psyche.
Perhaps subconsciously, they say, stars seize the opportunity of
parenthood to express their obsessions, ambitions and inner quirks in a
way that is, for a change, uned and not stage-managed by
publicists.
Mr. Jillette, for example, managed to satisfy a number of interests and
objectives when he and his wife, Emily, gave their daughter her highly
individual name.
"You're likely to be the only one in any normal-size group with that
name," Mr. Jillette said by e-mail, adding, " 'Moxie' is a name that
was created by an American for the first national soft drink and then
went on to mean 'chutzpah,' and that's nice."
Besides, Moxie CrimeFighter fits right into the creative world.
"Everyone I know with an unusual name loves it," he wrote. "It's only
the losers named Dave that think having an unusual name is bad, and who
cares what they think. They're named Dave."
Not all performers present their decisions in such terms.
"Apples are so sweet, and they're wholesome, and it's biblical," Ms.
Paltrow said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2004. "And I just
thought it sounded so lovely and clean." ("Moses" meanwhile is a song
that Mr. Martin wrote for Ms. Paltrow in 2003.)
But while middle-class parents increasingly trade in standard names
like Karen and Joseph for fancier ones like Madison and Caleb, movie
stars seem compelled to push the baby naming further. The names may be
merely distinctive (say, Maddox, Angelina Jolie's Cambodian-born
adopted son) or bizarre, like Makena'lei Gordon, Helen Hunt's daughter,
inspired by a place name in Hawaii. Celebrities may not so subtly be
saying that for them ordinary rules need not apply.
If celebrities are the new American aristocracy, the exotic baby name
can sometimes function as the equivalent of a royal title, a way for a
privileged caste to bestow the power of its legacy on future
generations.
"There's a sense of 'I'm special, I'm different, and therefore my child
is special and different,' " said Jenn Berman, a clinical psychologist
in Beverly Hills, who has worked with actors. "It's unconscious, but
they think, 'We're a creative family, you have the potential to be
creative, so here, I bestow you with the name 'Joaquin,' " Dr. Berman
said.
As artists, actors often consider it their duty to shake up
assumptions, defy conventions and push the frontiers of the possible.
To settle for a tedious name for the child would almost be a form of
spiritual surrender, said Stuart Fischoff, a psychologist, who has also
worked with Hollywood clients.
"They're expressing their creativity, and they're also expressing their
fear," Dr. Fischoff said. "It would be very embarrassing for people to
think of them as normal."
The unusual celebrity baby name is not new. Decades ago, Anthony
Perkins named his sons Osgood
[Faulty research here -- Osgood Perkins was Anthony's father. He
appeared in several movies, notably the 1932 version of SCARFACE.
Back to the article]
and Elvis, and Marlon Brando named his daughter Cheyenne. And Ms.
Paltrow, the daughter of the actress Blythe Danner and the director and
producer Bruce Paltrow, is named Gwyneth, after all.
But those who track the popularity of baby names say that the pressure
for stars to come up with creative names for their children has grown
in recent years, particularly as Hollywood members of Generations X and
Y have moved into their peak years of child rearing, carrying with them
their generation's taste for obscure pop cultural references,
iconoclasm and smirky irony.
Just as Frank Zappa proved himself the classic hippie prankster by
naming his children Moon Unit and Dweezil in the 1960's, the actress
Shannyn Sossamon, 26, established herself as a proud product of her
times by naming her son, born in 2003, Audio Science.
"A name is free, it is something that everyone has, so if you are a
celebrity, you are going to have to work that much harder to set
yourself apart as a person with a specialized knowledge or a rarefied
taste," said Pamela Redmond Satran, who has written baby-name books
with Linda Rosenkrantz, including "Beyond Jennifer and Jason" (St.
Martin's). She said a competitive impulse among stars seems to account
for the recent bonanza of unlikely baby names.
"In a weird way, it's like anorexia" in Hollywood, Ms. Satran said.
"Anyone can be thin. The famous have to be thinner."
They also have a traditional role as tastemakers. It's hardly a
coincidence that the name Ryder, which was the 901st most popular boy's
name in the country in 2001, according to Social Security
Administration statistics, jumped to 341 in 2004, the year Kate Hudson
and Chris Robinson chose it for their newborn son.
But as regular people - the sort who wait in line at restaurants and
pay for their own clothing - try to catch up, the stars are pushed
further into the realms of obscure names, in an effort to stay ahead of
this particular fashion curve. So stars troll deeper into the Old
Testament for name ideas (both Bono and Wynonna Judd have an Elijah,
and Cynthia Nixon has a Charles Ezekiel), into world geography (David
and Victoria Beckham have a Brooklyn, and Summer Phoenix and Casey
Affleck have an Indiana) or even into Grandmother's attic. (Jude Law
dusted off the name Iris for his daughter, and Heath Ledger and
Michelle Williams exhumed the name Matilda for their first child last
fall.)
Some therapists said the celebrity impulse to foist odd names on their
children amounts to simple narcissism by the parents, and the resulting
status comes at the child's expense. The children, after all, are the
ones who will have to raise their hands every time a teacher calls out
"Coco" or "Eulala."
"It's like having a mini me," said Robert R. Butterworth, a clinical
psychologist in Los Angeles, who has had actors on his patient roster.
"The child is a part of them, not an individual. It's an appendage."
The burden of celebrity falls even on the unborn. The child Brad Pitt
and Angelina Jolie are expecting has already been a cover subject for
magazines.
Other psychologists, however, believe fears for the child's well-being
are overblown. If, for example, Harvey Keitel's son, born in 2004,
feels a bit conspicuous being named Roman, he will at least have
company. Both Cate Blanchett and Debra Messing named sons Roman that
year.
Besides, the offspring of the Hollywood elite have other matters to
discuss in therapy, said Dr. Berman, who said she has counseled
several: "With kids of celebrities, in all honesty, the other issues
are so big this one pales in comparison."

Attack a damper on Ledger visit
By Christine Sams
April 3, 2006
Heath Ledger is reconsidering plans to visit Australia for the release of
his film Candy because of the treatment he received from paparazzi last time
he was here.
The Oscar-nominated actor was initially keen to return to Sydney to promote
the film later this month but he is having second thoughts about returning
home.
"A few things have come up," said a spokesman for Dendy films, the
distributor of Candy, when asked about Ledger's plans for a visit home.
"He's juggling to see what he can do.
"It's still up in the air as to when or if it will happen," the spokesman
said.
Ledger told S earlier in the year he was definitely planning to return to
Australia because he was keen to promote Candy, directed by Neil Armfield
and also starring Abbie Cornish.
"I'm going to come back out there in April to do some press for Candy - it's
a good film too, I'm proud of it," he said.
But sources close to the star say he was so angered by his treatment by some
Sydney paparazzi - when he and partner Michelle Williams were sprayed with
water pistols at a red-carpet event - that it will be a long time before he
returns.
Williams, who has a baby, Matilda, with Ledger, was said to be particularly
distressed about the incident.
After the spray attack, Ledger listed his Bronte home for sale, telling
close friends he would be relocating overseas permanently.
While Dendy executives are valiantly pursuing their negotiations with
Ledger, at this stage it appears Cornish will be the most likely person to
turn up for the red-carpet event.
Cornish, who is preparing to film Elizabeth: The Golden Age (the sequel to
Elizabeth) overseas opposite Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush, has signalled
her intention to return to Australia for a whirlwind promotional trip.
Candy is due for general release in Australia on May 25.

Cate's mates rally
March 02, 2006
THEY'RE two giants of Aussiewood, and they're also great friends.
Aussie actor Naomi Watts was among the star-studded crowd that turned out in
New York last night for the debut of Hedda Gabler, the Sydney Theatre
Company production starring Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving.
The 850-strong Brooklyn audience gave the performance a standing ovation and
afterwards the King Kong star paid her respects, hugging Blanchett at a
post-play party.
Watts, who turned up with boyfriend Liev Schreiber despite his reported
fling with Winona Ryder, told her friend that listening to so many
Australian accents made her nostalgic for home.
Sadly, the debut was marked by interruptions from ringing mobile phones at
crucial moments, which particularly annoyed Martin Scorcese, who scowled at
one phone's owner.
Scorcese was among an A-list crowd heaping praise on the STC production,
saying it was "extraordinary, really beautifully put together".
Those wowed by Blanchett's performance included Marisa Tomei, John Turturro
and Jonathan Rhys Meyers while Australian Ambassador to the US Dennis
Richardson and New York Consul-General Ken Allen were also in the crowd.

Oh! Lest we forget Fishstick in the frothy, inconsequential
"Shakespeare in Love" rather than Cate Blanchett commanding every scene
in "Elizabeth". The outrage!
And then the predictable shmucks give *her* her consolation Oscar for
"The Aviator" where she was good... but she was in it, like, ten
minutes. Let's just see if Gwynnie will ever win another one. What's
that you say? She hasn't been nominated since... hmmm.

Friends, have any amongst you heard talk to the effect that Australian
thespian Cate Blanchett has become associated as a member of one or
more of the following small spiritual communities:
(1) The Kosmon Church of Faithists (followers of Oahspe);
(2) The tantrik Orthodox Church
(3) The Moorish Orthodox church
(4) The Process Church of the Last Judgement

A tale of the unexpected
By Sacha Molitorisz
September 3, 2005
Noah Taylor shuns the media, avoids lead roles and dismisses his talent as
an actor.
In the fickle and cruel world of show business, some successes are easy to
comprehend. Those of Cate Blanchett and Peter Weir, for instance, two
Aussies who are gifted and intensely determined.
Then there's Noah Taylor, whose success is harder to understand than
Australia's tax laws. Sure, he has talent and charisma, but here's a man who
never attended drama school, rarely gives interviews and has admitted he
doesn't like acting. Especially his own. In an industry that thrives on spin
and schmoozing, that's bad. Worse is his decision a few years ago not to
play any more lead roles. Only character parts.
And yet those parts keep coming. Turning 36 this weekend, Taylor, who lives
in London, keeps landing one pivotal supporting part after another. After
roles in Almost Famous, the two Lara Croft films, Vanilla Sky and The Life
Aquatic, he has done it again with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which
opened this week. In the Tim Burton remake starring Johnny Depp, Taylor
plays Mr Bucket, the unemployed father of the story's young hero, Charlie
Bucket. The is based on the famous story by Roald Dahl, who also
wrote Tales of the Unexpected, which is a perfect deion of Taylor's
career: a tale of the unexpected.
So what is the secret of his success? Born in 1969, Taylor grew up in the
Melbourne seaside suburb of St Kilda. His parents divorced when he was 14.
By his own admission, his childhood was unhappy. After leaving home and
school at 16, he didn't even contemplate studying to become an actor.
"I didn't think about drama school," he said later. "I came up with the
philosophy, and I still do believe it to a certain extent, that [if] people
would go from school to a theatre school to the theatre, dahling, when are
they going to learn about anything apart from luvvies? So I thought no, go
out, have a really difficult life, hang around a lot of bars, study humanity
up close. That's the theory. That's what I did."
In 1987, at 17, he starred in The Year My Voice Broke. For Taylor, it was
more like The Year My Career Broke. Not only was John Duigan's film a hit,
but Taylor's turn as Danny Embling in the coming-of-age classic established
him as a talent in demand. It also pigeon-holed him as a perpetual Aussie
adolescent. In everything from the 1991 sequel, Flirting, to 1993's The
Nostradamus Kid, to 1996's Shine, and right up to 2001's He Died With a
Felafel in His Hand, he played a variation of a boy becoming a man.
"Creative types seem to want to project their personality onto me," Taylor
said in 2001, in one of his rare interviews. "I've done a lot of
biographical stuff and reminiscences of other people's youth, which is not
entirely interesting to me. Because it's such a small country, you do a few
roles like, say, Jack Thompson or Bryan Brown, and you get indelibly stamped
as representing this aspect of either people or the nation's character."
Taylor, who has always railed against being stereotyped, said this during an
interview to promote He Died With a Felafel in His Hand, the comedy based on
the John Birmingham novel. Taylor played the unsettled lead character and,
during the promotional tour, announced Felafel was likely to be his last
lead role for two reasons: he didn't like the pressures of selling a film
and he preferred character roles.
"I've discovered I much prefer doing smaller character roles," he said.
"It's much more like a job. And you get treated much more like someone who's
professional."
Taylor hates promoting films largely because he detests interviews. His
aversion to questions hit a peak in 1993, when a writer, Antonella Gambotto
from Mode magazine, portrayed him as difficult, bored and self-obsessed.
Further, the story implied he was a junkie.
"I have just been burnt," Taylor said in 1996. "I have revealed myself occas
ionally to journalists and regretted the way they have written it."
The problem is, if you don't give many interviews, the media will pore over
every utterance. And when you make a confession, it's big news. That
happened in 2001, when Taylor admitted to Melbourne's Herald Sun that he was
a recovered drug addict. "It is a taboo subject, and I'm getting into risky
territory now because it affects my career and all sorts of things," he
said. "Drugs are a problem for young people in every country of the world.
And yes, I had a drug problem for a while. I sought out help and I would
advise anyone who does have a drug problem to find help."
Taylor must have regretted his admission as soon as he'd made it. His
reluctance to be interviewed is unfortunate, because Taylor is thoughtful
and intelligent. Unlike many actors, who spout platitudes and/or nonsense,
Taylor can be revealing and provocative. "I can't do all sorts of roles," he
told Time Out in 1997. "I just do stuff I can empathise with. I'm like a
damaged prostitute: if you want something slightly broken, slightly soiled,
you can get it right here."
He can be funny, too. In the same interview, he described his method as more
about alchemy than acting. "You need the right combination of vodka to
double espressos to take you to a certain state," he said. "Then you dose up
on vitamin C to get young. It's homeopathy, really. Hit-and-miss, though.
Sometimes you turn up and you're speaking Swahili."
So he hates interviews - and he hates acting nearly as much. "A poncy,
stupid profession" is his deion. After Shine, he said: "[Acting]
became morally acceptable to me as opposed to this vacuous, sucking, succubi
kind of industry, which is how I feel about it as well."
Specifically, he has a problem with his own acting. "I think a lot of the
stuff I've done, I've done really badly," he has said. "Even if people have
said it's good. Because I'm cringing at the back of my mind. That's not to
say they're bad films, they're just not my cup of tea, aesthetically or
intellectually. I like Bunuel, I like Fassbinder, Herzog." Certainly the
Lara Croft films aren't Fassbinder. But Taylor seems to aim to extend
himself wherever possible. In 2002, he attempted one of the most difficult
tasks open to an actor: playing Adolf Hitler. In Max, a drama about the
Fuhrer's ambitions to become a painter, Taylor starred opposite John
Cusack's art dealer. As usual, Taylor's performance was well received.
Indeed, Taylor's low opinion of his work is in contrast to the high esteem
with which he is regarded by critics and directors. The film critic David
Stratton describes him as wonderful; Scott Hicks raved about Taylor after
directing him in Shine; and he's a favourite of the director Cameron Crowe,
who cast him in Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky.
"He is possibly the most accomplished screen actor in the country," Bob
Ellis said after directing him in The Nostradamus Kid. "He has an intimacy
with the camera which is rare in the world. He is also very reliable, is
always good on every take."
Ellis explained Taylor's dislike of acting thus: "In his usual perverse way,
because he is so good at it, he thinks little of acting. Because he has an
absolute gift for it, he regards it as no accomplishment at all and prefers
to think of himself as musician or something. It is a pity."
That's precisely it. Taylor's on-screen nonchalance is so convincing because
it's not an act. He is nonchalant. He is not voraciously ambitious, but
indifferent about a profession for which he has considerable talent. With
his troubled countenance and tattoo-covered arms - covered with make-up for
the bath scene in Shine - he brings something to the screen other than ego
and vanity.
In an era of undeserved celebrity and manufactured success, he's an
interesting bloke with charisma, talent and a chequered past. A genuine
character who prefers character parts to lead roles and then prefers not to
discuss them.

Blanchett Suggests She's Snubbing 'Elizabeth' Sequel
Cate Blanchett is leaving fans guessing about her regal return as British
queen Elizabeth I after insisting industry reports about a sequel to the hit
1998 movie Elizabeth are untrue. The actress has reportedly signed up to
play the flame-haired queen in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, but comments she
made yesterday in Australia's Herald Sun might give producers pause for
thought. She says, "I'm really good friends with Shekhar Kapur (director)
and he's forever saying he's going to do this movie or that movie and I
think there was talk about it. There's so much there if it were to happen,
but my initial instinct is, why (make it)?" Hollywood's top trade magazines
report the sequel would co-star Geoffrey Rush and Clive Owen and start
shooting in April.
