Today, Helen Mirren turns 70. This is not only a landmark in her life, but it also marks the 50th anniversary of her career. In 1965, Helen made a splash with the lead role in the National Youth Theatre’s production of “Antony and Cleopatra”, which led to a decade-long involvement with the Royal Shakespeare. Today, 50 years later, Helen is just as in demand as she was those years ago. She is one of the very few women in Hollywood capable to successfully open a film on her name (“Woman in Gold”), not to mention a successful Broadway play. The year brought her one of the industries’ biggest honors, the Tony Award. And there’s no slowing down with two projects to be released later in the year. What’s more to simply say: Happy Birthday, Helen Mirren!
