Helen Lydia Mironoff

Helen Mirren is a famous British and Hollywood actress, Oscar winner and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Helen Mirren has played many great roles. But, it seems, the actress looked most organically in the images of the august persons. Over the years, the actress performed the roles of the English queens Charlotte, Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II.

Probably, there is a certain pattern in this, because the blood of aristocrats really flows in Helen's veins. True, not English, but Russian.

Helen was born in July 1945 in the suburbs of London. At birth, the actress received the name Elena Vasilievna Mironova, because the father of the artist Vasily Mironov is Russian. Helen Mirren's grandfather, a staunch monarchist, did not accept the revolution and fled to England. He was a military engineer by training. His wife was the great-granddaughter of Count and Field Marshal Mikhail Fedorovich Kamensky.

The actress's mother - British - did not have an aristocratic origin. But the woman's father, Helen Mirren's grandfather, was the court butcher of Queen Victoria herself.

After the death of his father, Vasily Mironov decided to stay abroad and assimilate in Great Britain. The man changed his name to Basil Mirren. The daughter Elena also received a new name. Now the girl's name sounded like Helen Mirren.

The parents wanted the girl to become a teacher. But Helen became more and more interested in theater. The girl participated in amateur school performances. And later, after entering the teacher training college, she made the final decision to become an artist. The girl was transferred to the theater school. And when Mirren turned 18, the girl auditioned and was accepted into the National Youth Theater.

For the first 2 years, Helen Mirren was entrusted only with small roles in the theater. But soon the girl shone in the image of Cleopatra on the stage of "Old Vic". Here the actress was noticed by agents and invited to the Royal Shakespeare Theater. On this stage, the star played more than one major role: in the performances of "The Tragedy of the Avenger", "Richard III", "Much Ado About Nothing", "Hamlet" and "Two of Verona".

The popularity came to the actress only after her appearance on the screen.

The cinematic biography of Helen Mirren is a little over 40 films. The artist felt her first success after the release of the epic drama Caligula by Tinto Brass. The film turned out to be at the peak of popularity, both thanks to a high-quality anti-totalitarian plot, and thanks to the scandals that unfolded around the film.

The film was sponsored by the erotic entertainment magazine Penthouse, so the bed scenes and scenes of cruelty in this picture came out uncensored and naturalistic, and there were many such scenes, because the action of the picture unfolded in the era of the unprecedentedly cruel and even sadistic rule of Emperor Caligula.

Moralists called the film disgusting trash, and screenwriter Gore Vidal even removed his own name from the credits, but this only fueled the popularity of the film. Helen Mirren played the role of Empress Caesonia here, which began a series of her aristocratic roles.

Recently, viewers have become accustomed to regularly seeing a woman, if not in an aristocratic role, then in the form of a fine lady. In the military drama "The All-Seeing Eye", the actress played the role of Colonel of the British Armed Forces Catherine Powell, who is in charge of a secret operation to capture a terrorist group.
