Stories about Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren Was A Good Girl Who Did Drugs

While it may sound like an oxymoron, Helen Mirren insists you can have your cake and eat it too. She says she was the good girl who did drugs.

"I was always a good girl. I always showed up on time. I was never ever late. I never got drunk. I did drugs but only on my own time, not when I was working."

I guess no one is going to fault her even if she does admit to having a bit of a wild past with the kind of track record she's got going for her...Oscar, SAG Awards, Golden Globes, Emmys...she must have a giant trophy room! :)

"I love second-hand shops. Or I make my own clothes because I’ve never found the kinds of things I liked."

-- Helen Mirren

I know so many people that have great luck in second hand stores. Have you ever purchased a great find?

Helen Mirren Said No To An Oscar Botox Session

Helen Mirren was offered a treatment of Botox to help her look her best for the Oscars. She turned it down because she is afraid of needles (and because she DOESN'T NEED IT).

'I'm very vain, which initially made playing Elizabeth Windsor in all those tweeds pretty daunting,' she said. 'But I'm not fond of all those needles and scalpels. I'll try to get away with make-up, jewelery and a nice frock.' (source)

The most interesting part of this story is she admitted that those that attended the award show got a goodie bag filled with vouchers for cosmetic surgery procedures. WOW! That is some gift bag! I wonder who took them up on their offer...
