[[UsefulNotes/KnightFever Dame]] Helen Lydia Mirren, DBE (born 26 July 1945) is an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-winning English actress.

She is the only actress in history to have portrayed both Queens Elizabeth - [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI Elizabeth I]] in the miniseries ''Elizabeth I'', [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Elizabeth II]] in ''Film/TheQueen'' and in the play ''The Audience''. She won an Emmy for the former and an [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] and a Tony Award for the latter, surprising absolutely nobody. She only needs one Grammy Award to complete her own EGOT (Even though she [[NonSingingVoice clearly can't sing]], she can win one for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Spoken_Word_Album this]]).

She can definitely be seen as attractive even in her golden years. In 2010's ''Love Ranch'', she became the first major actress to appear nude on film in six different decades (and did a nude-in-the-bathtub photo shoot in ''New Yorker'' magazine alongside the film. At age ''65''!).

** ''Caligula'' likewise is remembered for her nudity. There's more than just hers, but she is the most famous of the actresses who appear nude.

* StarMakingRole:[[invoked]] She was already a respected stage actress but ''Excalibur'' proved to be this for her film career.

* CelebrityVoiceActor:[[invoked]] ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'', ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity''. She was also nearly in ''Disney/TheLionKing''.

[[UsefulNotes/KnightFever Dame]] Helen Lydia Mirren, DBE, (born July 26, 1945) is an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-winning English actress.

* DawsonCasting:[[invoked]] In her debut film ''Age of Consent'' she plays a teenager at the age of twenty-two.

!!Her more important films include:

* DirtyOldWoman: And she's awesome at it. Listen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiASu0ujqbM to the quick little dirty joke she said here.]]

* PoorMansSubstitute: It's something of a RunningGag to get Helen to fill in for UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen when she's not around. She did a parody of the Queen's Christmas Day speech on Graham Norton.

She is of Russian descent; her grandfather was a Tsarist aristocrat who was stranded in London after the Bolshevik Revolution. Her birth name is Mironoff, which her father anglicised to Mirren in the 1950s. While she does not speak Russian, she is fluent in French. Tania Mallet, who played Tilly Masterson in ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'', was her cousin.

* CoolOldLady: At 67, she decided, on a whim, to dye her hair ''[[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/11/helen-mirren-pink-hair-bafta-awards_n_2662615.html pink,]]'' after seeing a contestant on ''America's Next Top Model'' with it.

* TheHighQueen: She has played six queens in her time, and is the only actress to play both Queen Elizabeth I and II. Ironically in ''{{Film/Excalibur}}'' she played Morgana - who is the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen exact opposite]]. She did play a princess in ''Series/FaerieTaleTheatre'' though.

* OldShame:[[invoked]] Averted! Seemingly born with none. She isn't even ashamed of ''{{Film/Caligula}}'' - describing it as an "irresistible mix of art and genitals."

* SilverFox: She just doesn't look right when her hair ISN'T silver colored...

She is perhaps the greatest example of GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave known to man (although ironically she's never had any kids and has, by her own admission, no maternal instincts whatsoever). In 2010's ''Love Ranch'', she became the first major actress to appear nude on film in six different decades (and did a nude-in-the-bathtub photo shoot in ''New Yorker'' magazine alongside the film. At age ''65''!).

** She loved playing an ActionGirl in ''{{Film/Red}}'' that she agreed to appear in the sequel immediately.
