The 50 Australians who matter
(...)
THE ENTERTAINERS
1 CATE BLANCHETT, actor. Born Melbourne 1969, she now lives in Sydney.
She shows we've got class. Leonardo DiCaprio was being complimentary (at least to her) when he called Blanchett "the Meryl Streep of our time".
2 RUSSELL CROWE, actor. Born New Zealand in 1964, he now lives in Sydney.
An Oscar for Gladiator and a reputation for aggression gets him constant work.
3 MEL GIBSON, actor/producer. Born New York in 1956, he lives in Los Angeles. He was a NIDA-trained action star before he won an Oscar for Braveheart. Since the success of The Passion of the Christ, Gibson and his Australian business partner Bruce Davey are the most powerful independent filmmakers in the world.
4 REG GRUNDY, producer. Born Sydney in 1923, he now lives in Bermuda.
After giving us Sale of the Century, The Restless Years, Prisoner and Neighbours, he built an international empire of dramas and game shows, at one point having 210 different programs on air in Europe, Asia, South America and the US.
5 JENNIFER HAWKINS, Miss Universe, Born Newcastle in 1984, she now lives everywhere. In six months she won't matter a bit, but right now Hawkins shows the world an image of wholesomeness we hope is typically Aussie.
6 ROLF HARRIS. Born Perth in 1930, he now lives in London. Before Kylie's buttocks and Elle's breasts, Rolf's extra leg carried our image to the northern hemisphere.
7 PAUL HOGAN, comedian. Born in Lightning Ridge in 1939, he now lives in Los Angeles.
We've gone off him but Over There he's still the only Aussie everyone's heard of.
8 BARRY HUMPHRIES, comedian. Born in Melbourne in 1934, he now lives in London. From suburban satirist in the 1950s to the toast of Broadway in the noughties: who'd have thought an old dame would have so much blood in her?
9 STEVE IRWIN, crocodile taunter. Born in Melbourne in 1962, he now lives in Queensland. Feeding a crocodile with a baby on his arm made the world wonder if he could really be as dumb as he acts, and made us nostalgic for Dundee.
10 NICOLE KIDMAN, actor. Born in Hawaii in 1967, she now lives in Los Angeles. It was tempting to leave her out, just for mischief, but an Oscar, a UN ambassadorship and the ability to earn $19 million per picture make her essential.
11 ANTHONY LaPAGLIA, actor. Born in Adelaide in 1959, he lives in Los Angeles. It's not his New York stage awards that put him in this list. It's the fact that Hollywood would be lost without a trace of him to play the poifect Italian-American cop or crook.
12 KYLIE MINOGUE, singer. Born in Melbourne in 1968, she lives in London.
Dance clubs would be dead without her.
13 GEOFFREY RUSH, actor. Born in Toowoomba, Queensland, in 1951, he lives in Sydney. A Golden Globe this week to add to his Oscar for Shine, and millions of children around the world are waiting to see how Captain Barbosa reappears in Pirates of the Caribbean II.
14 JOAN SUTHERLAND, retired soprano. Born in Sydney in 1926, she now lives in Switzerland.
Enough with the pop artists: her adventures singing Lucia di Lammermoor in Paris, Alcina in Venice and Tales of Hoffmann in New York showed Australia's mastery of High Art.
15 PETER WEIR, director. Born in Sydney in 1944, where he still lives.
He has The Eye every other director envies, as in Picnic At Hanging Rock, Gallipoli, Witness, Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show and Master and Commander. Starting small on the far side of the world, Weir remains an inspiration to future filmmakers.
16 HUGH JACKMAN, actor. Born in Sydney, 1968, now lives in Los Angeles. He got a Tony award for his Broadway portrayal of an Australian less influential than himself, then continuing roles as amnesic lycanthropes in Van Helsing and the X-Men series and, most recently, a contract with Disney to make musical films that may earn him the title "the Fred Astaire of the 21st century".
