The topic of sexuality came up when the mother-of-four started discussing her role in the upcoming film Carol, based on the Patricia Highsmith novel The Price of Salt. The film, set in s New York, is about a female department-store clerk (Rooney Mara) who dreams of a better animation and falls for an older, married woman (Blanchett).
When asked if this was her first turn as a lesbian, Blanchett-- who's married to playwright Andrew Upton -- said with a flash , "On film -- or in real life?"
