Dame Helen Mirren (born Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov), DBE is an English stage, film and television actress. She has won an Oscar, four SAG Awards, four BAFTAs, three Golden Globes and four Emmy Awards during her career.

Reviewing for The Stage, John Thaxter wrote: "Sumptuously illustrated, at first sight it looks like another of those photo albums of the stars. But between the pictures there are almost 200 pages of densely printed text, an unusually frank story of her private and professional life, mainly in the theatre, the words clearly Mirren's own, delivered with forthright candour." ...more

Thanks for the memories: HMAS closing

It is with sadness that we announce the closing of The Helen Mirren Appreciation Society and this website. The HMAS has had a 13 year history, filled with wonderful experiences, fun meetings with Helen, lively discussion and good friendships. We are shutting our doors, effective later this summer, and by mutual agreement transferring the domains over to Helen's management.

Quotes by Helen Mirren (?)

“It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It’s then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult – but you are not ready.”
― Helen Mirren, In the Frame

“The hardest period in life is one’s twenties. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous, and you’re physically in peak condition. But it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening.”
― Helen Mirren

“Fresh from a costume fitting, where I had been posing in front of the mirror assuming what I thought was a strong position - arms folded, butch-looking...you know - I met with the woman in charge of Holloway police station. She gave me the most invaluable advice: never let them see you cry, and never cross your arms. When I asked why, she said 'because it is a defensive action and therefore weak.”
