It has taken a while for “Woman in Gold” to premiere in Italy, but Helen – alongside director Simon Curtis and his wife/co-star/Countess of Grantham Elizabeth McGovern have attended a promotional photocall and premiere for the October 15 release. Pictures from both functions have been added to the photo gallery.

The photo gallery has been updated with all public appearances from 2008. This has been another quiet year with an appearance at the Academy Awards to present Best Actor, christening a ship in Southampton and promoting her autobiography “In the Frame”. The next public appearances update will take a bit longer, as 2007 included a full schedule with “The Queen” promotion and an even fuller awards season. To view any of the new added albums, click any of the previews below.

The updates of Helen’s past public appearances continues with events from 2009. This was a rather quiet year, compared to 2010 and 2011 with a dozen films in release. But 2009 had “State of Play”, one of my favorite Helen films, and the early promtion for “The Last Station”, which would win her an Academy Award nomination.

According to Variety, The 2015 Gotham Awards have lined up Robert Redford and Helen Mirren to receive the Gothams’ annual actor tributes, with producer and Anonymous Content founder Steve Golin set to take home the industry award. Both Redford and Mirren will likely have roles to play in the film industry’s upcoming awards season. Redford appears in the Dan Rather Memogate tale “Truth,” which just opened in Toronto, as well as in recent release “A Walk in the Woods,” while Mirren, who starred earlier this year in “Woman in Gold,” appears in upcoming bio “Trumbo,” and then next year in warfare drone drama “Eye in the Sky.” Redford, Mirren and Golin will each receive a tribute award at the Gothams during the 2015 ceremony, as will the previously announced Todd Haynes (“Carol”). The annual event, one of the fall season’s earliest barometers of awards-season buzz, also includes the announcement of winners in eight competitive categories, including feature, documentary, actor and screenplay, among others. Presented every year by New York’s Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), the 2015 Gotham Independent Film Awards are set for Nov. 30 at Cipriani Wall Street.

Lots of additional pictures from the Toronto International Film Festival, as well as two recent events, have been added to the photo gallery. In New York, Helen was a guest at Badgley & Mischka’s front row for Spring 2016. And the SAG Foundation has helt a conversation with Dame Helen Mirren. Pictures from all events can be found in the photo gallery.

Yesterday, Helen Mirren attended the Toronto International Film Festival for the world-premiere of Gavin Hood’s “Eye in the Sky”. The film opened to fantastic reviews, which makes on hope for a theatrical release soon. Pictures from the premiere and a photoshoot have been added to the photo gallery. Edit: Pictures from the “Trumbo” premiere have been added as well.

It has taken a while to continue updating the public appearances, since 2010 has been such a heck of a year for Helen. Over 4.000 pictures have been added, including a busy awards season for “The Last Station”, promotional tours for “Love Ranch”, “Brighton Rock”, “The Tempest” and “The Door” and visits to Russia, Germany and Italy.

They are the finest actors of their generation, dominating stage and screen for fans of a certain age. BBC Four is to harness the artistic might of Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Michael Caine, and Dame Maggie Smith for a new season starring Britain’s “theatrical knights and dames”. The BBC will delve into its own archives for the best bits of Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ralph Richardson, Dame Diana Rigg and Dame Judi Dench, featuring interviews and performances from their heyday. The programme will go out over two one-hour episodes, to showcase the best of British drama. It is expected to include clips from stage, film and television, as well as the most candid interviews of their careers. A spokesman for the channel said: “Recognised by royal decree for their extraordinary achievements on the stage, many of our finest acting Knights and Dames have displayed their talents regularly on BBC Television throughout their careers and have helped earn Britain an enviable reputation as a superpower in the theatrical world.”

Here are two things Hollywood really likes: movies about charismatic individuals triumphing over political oppression, and movies about Hollywood. Luckily, Bryan Cranston’s new film, Trumbo, is about both: Cranston plays screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted by the industry in 1947 after refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Trumbo was perhaps the most successful of the “Hollywood Ten”; he wrote under pseudonyms throughout the ’50s, and even won Oscars for his work on The Brave One and Roman Holiday. Cranston, deploying the full range of that booming, stentorian voice, looks pretty crackerjack in the role, and he’s accompanied by a murderer’s row of talent: Helen Mirren, Diane Lane, John Goodman, and Louis C.K. all have supporting parts. Trumbo is out in November.
