The first was Cate Blanchett.
If the star ever needed another notch on her belt as a Hollywood giant, Hepburn's portrayal in "The Aviator" by Cate Blanchett amounted to the first and currently only time that an acting Oscar was awarded to someone playing an Oscar winner.

Cate Blanchett (Australia) won the 2005 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for depicting Best Actress Academy Award winner Katherine Hepburn (USA) in Aviator (2004).
