Cate Blanchett as Kate Hepburn in THE AVIATOR (2004)

In 2004 Martin Scorsese directed Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes in THE AVIATOR. Cate Blanchett co-starred as Katharine Hepburn, Howard Hughes' long-term girlfriend in the 1930s. In this post, I will analyse Blanchett's overall look and her general performance as the great KH. Then I will break down the scenes in which Hepburn and Hughes are portrayed and discuss the accuracy of the filmmakers in portraying their relationship.
