This blog is dedicated to the wonderful Helen Mirren!
“I’m a Dame of the British Empire, and when you get that you go to Buckingham Palace, everyone is all dressed up, it’s all very formal, you learn how to curtsy. And then, I win the Oscar, and I’m standing on a stage, in front of all those movie stars, and they’re all applauding, it’s like this incredible dream come true. And now I have my hands and feet down at Hollywood Boulevard, and they’re going to be there forever, and THIS is what you have to do!”
Helen Mirren winning Best Actress for The Queen, in 2007 (79th Academy Award)
“For fifty years and more, Elizabeth Windsor has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty and her hair style. She’s had her feet planted firmly on the ground, her hat on her head, her handbag on her arm and she’s weathered many, many storms. And I salute her courage and consistency.”
