Thank you Dame Helen, for representing us old lady Prince fans. I'm 64 and my heart is broken too. She is a class act.

lol giggle hah!

Actually, she has had a rather storied career in the acting biz. One of her first roles was in the movie Age of Consent, which came out in 1968 and starred James Mason, who played a jaded artist who went back to Australia to find his groove again. Helen Mirren played his muse and spent much of the movie naked. drool She spent most of the 1970's in theater in London's West End and on Broadway but came back to Hollywood in the 1980's, starring in Caligula, Excalibur, White Nights, The Cook The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, and others. But her biggest success came in the 1990's, when she starred in the UK TV series Prime Suspect and playing Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, which is what she got that statue for.

One other note; she was slated to play the role of the high school guidance counselor in the movie Precious, which director Lee Daniels specifically wrote for her. But she pulled out of it at the last minute, and that role went to, of all people, Mariah Carey.

Helen Mirren is one of my all time favorite actresses. A She-ro. wink
