"Thank you for letting me burble on about my career," Helen Mirren laughs self-deprecatingly, after looking back on her glittering body of work in the latest instalment of our video series, How I Got Here.
Of course, the pleasure is all ours. As one of the most lauded, critically acclaimed and celebrated British actresses of the last century, her fans and peers alike remain fascinated and in awe of her five-decade long career spanning film, theatre and television.
This was evident just recently at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild awards in February, at which Mirren was given the Life Achievement Award - voted for by her fellow actors - presented to her by Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet.
Mirren was inspired to become an actress after watching a local production of Hamlet as a teenager. "I'm sure the production was terrible, but Shakespeare, the story of Hamlet... it was a thriller to me," she tells us. "I went back home and we had this huge book of Shakespeare. I went through it looking for characters I responded to. That was what led me into wanting to become an actress."

She is.❤❤❤
She is a role model for women aging¡¡¡¡ The importance of accepting yourself as you are, age is wisdome, and she looks beautiful and gorgeous because she has let her experience, intelligence and capacty flows higher than her beauty. An example for all women in arts and in any other field of life...
Helen is wonderful . love her
Helen Mirren is a very classy woman. I remember Prime Suspect and loved her in it.
She seems so not her usual very confident smiling self. She even seems a little trembly and even vulnerable. Thos is unusual.
Completely agree.with her- she's an actress, not an actor. Calling a female an actor is absolute nonsense.
In the beginning she says she likes to use the term actress but straight after has this odd hesitation about both of the terms. I wonder if she actually uses the term herself.
You know the current generation is on the wrong path when it needs to have explained to it that _men_ and _women_ are _not_ the same, ergo the existence of the words “actor” _and_ “actress.”
No mention, by Dame Helen Mirren, about her role as Morgana in "Excalibur"?
