She joined the National Youth Theatre at 18 and has been killing the game ever since. Out of all her movies, she said her fave role was playing the sadistic history teacher in Teaching Mrs. Tingle.

She tied the knot with Taylor Hackford in December 1997 and has been low-key about her personal life since then. You might also remember her from Gosford Park, where she shared the screen with Maggie Smith.

Helen Mirren is all about keeping it real, even when it comes to her favorite roles. She’s a legend in the game and has been rewriting history with her iconic performances.
