Dame Helen Mirren (1945 - )
English actor of stage and screen;
her illustrious career has seen her star to great acclaim
in innumerable movies, television series, and plays;
the only performer to have achieved both the
American Triple Crown of Acting (an Academy Award,
an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award) and
the British Triple Crown of Acting (a British Academy Film Award,
British Academy Television Award, and a Laurence Olivier Award).
And, like many English stars, she's Russian! Marvelous talent.
ReplyDelete@ Boud -- Yes, that surprised me when I read Wikipedia. I didn't know before that her father was a Russian ex-pat.
DeleteI adore every single thing about her.
ReplyDeleteShe's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteShe can make even the most bland drivel (see Winchester) palatable.
XOXO
I love Dame Helen! She's so good in every damn role. She was riveting in Prime Suspect but I had to stop watching the series because I couldn't stomach the violence. Really looking forward to the 'Thursday Murder Club' - the books were fun.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I named my bicycle Helen in her honor because she is beautiful and strong and reliable.
Love her...was not aware she was a "Dame"...
ReplyDelete50 Cent has a crush on her. :D
