Cate Blanchett as Annabelle looking to the distance with a confused expression in the film The Gift.
The Big Picture With her haunting performance in the 2000 Southern Gothic horror, The Gift, Cate Blanchett once again proves she can tackle any role. Written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson, this Georgia-set thriller is a slow burn that digs deep into the heart of the human condition. It features one fierce Blanchett, portraying a mother willing to do whatever it takes to protect her family as well as the dead who can no longer speak for themselves.
Cate Blanchett Plays a Fearless Mother and Crime-Solving Psychic Close Blanchett is chilling as Annie Wilson, a dedicated mother who is not only haunted by the recent death of her husband, but by the dead that follows her continuously, including her deceased grandmother. Blanchett doesn't often venture into horror, but she is magnificent here as a beacon of hope in an otherwise dark film.
Billy Bob Thornton Grew Up With a Mother Who Performed Psychic Readings Thornton grew up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and was the son of self-proclaimed psychic, Virginia Roberta.
"My mom is a psychic. People would come to the house and she would do readings for people at one point. So, I had sort of like a Native American, Italian side on my mom’s, and Irishmen on my dad’s side. So I was raised with sports, and hard work, and biscuits and gravy on one side. And on the other side, books and crystals and burial mounds and spirits and all that kind of thing."
