Kate Winslett Versus Cate Blanchett

How to Distinguish Kate from Cate

I will be the first person to admit that I know hardly anything about most celebrities. They just aren't that interesting to me. However I saw something on television a couple days ago that made me chuckle. I can't remember exactly where it was I saw it but there was a discussion on the program I was watching about how the main character couldn't distinguish the difference between Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet.

Yesterday as the wife and I went to the grocery store I saw a magazine with one of the actresses on the cover. It was at this point that I came to a realization of my own. I don't know which one is which, either. Therefore I decided to do some research to finally clear up this confusion once and for all. Thanks to Wikipedia I now feel like I have a grasp on which (K)Cate is which.
