Ladies and Gentlemen, Dame Helen Mirren


Here to brighten up what is, at least in Our Nation's Capital, a gray and dreary day, one of the United Kingdom's most distinguished thespians.  And I bet you thought her appearance in Caligula was as far a cry as one could imagine from The Queen.

  1. Helen Mirren, freaky sex kitten. It just seems wrong.

  2. Well then, may I have that slinky snakeskin parasol with two knobs that she so thoughtlessly discarded?

    1. I find the whole idea of a two-knobbed parasol - of any kind of tanned material - profoundly unnerving.

  3. She rather flaunts it all in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.

    1. If ever there were a film that would in fact feature a slinky snakeskin parasol with two knobs, that film would be it.

  4. But if you want to see just about all there is to see of Dame Helen, try Ken Russell's "The Savage Messiah." It is posted on YouTube. Young Helen takes quite a memorable stroll.

  5. Giving Tim Curry a run for his money.

    She's fabulous at any age. Cheeky gal.
