Academy Award-winning Australian actress known for Elizabeth (1998), The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Blue Jasmine (2013). Blanchett's name surfaced in the January 2024 unsealed Giuffre v. Maxwell court documents through the testimony of Johanna Sjoberg, who stated that Epstein would name-drop celebrities during phone calls while being massaged, claiming to be speaking with figures such as Blanchett.
When asked directly, Sjoberg confirmed she had never met Blanchett through Epstein. Blanchett does not appear in Epstein's black book or flight logs, and no accuser has placed her at any Epstein property. There is no documented association between Blanchett and Epstein.
