Director Martin Scorses sought Cate Blanchett for the role. Cate has a history of doing great performances with real-life characters, such as her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I in the movie Elizabeth. Obviously it was the right choice as Blanchett won an Oscar (Best Supporting Actress) for her role of Katharine Hepburn.
