A few days ago, I showed you some pictures of Cate Blanchett at the Costume Institute Gala where she appeared very skinny and sick.
I was worried that she would be the next celebrity to fall victim to anorexia, but it turned out she lost all that weight only for a role. Cate will star in “Cancer Vixen: A True Story”, based on an upcoming memoir of the same name by Marisa Acocella Marchetto, a cartoonist fashionista for Glamour and the New Yorker.
Marchetto’s autobiography, which has been generating buzz ahead of its release by Knopf on Tuesday, describes how she fell in love with a celebrity restaurateur and was planning their wedding when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and realised that she had let her health insurance lapse. Her friends — stylists, gossip columnists, designers — rallied around her as she wore killer shoes to chemo sessions and strove to get married on time. [Source]

Here are some pictures of Cate Blanchett from May 8 (a day after the pictures from the Costume Institute Gala) at TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People 2007 event. She looks definitely healthier than just a day before!
