In Pictures

Posing at the Academy Awards’ press room with Best Actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis. At a New York book signing of her autobiography “In the Frame: My Life in Words and Pictures”. On the set of “Inkheart”, Mirren’s second venture into family adventure after the 2007 release of “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”.

In a rather quiet year compared to the whirlwind events of 2006 and 2007, Helen Mirren had one film in 2007 – a well-done big screen adaptation of Cornelia Funke’s “Inkheart”. And she also had a book to promote – releasing her autobiography “Helen Mirren: My Life in Words and Pictures”, in which she gives a delightful insight in her upbringing, her training as an actress and the ups and downs in her professional career. She also narrated “Kiran Bedi: Yes Madam, Sir”, a David and Goliath story profiling Asia Nobel Prize-winner Kiran Bedi, India’s first woman police officer and most controversial revolutionary.
