Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren began her career on stage and worked in theater with the Royal Shakespeare Company. This made the transition into performing Shakespearean plays adapted for film easy, and once she started appearing on screen, people took notice of her immediately allowing her to land roles in hits like Hitchcock, and more recently The Queen. Helen Mirren is also one of a pretty elite ‘club’ of people who have won the “triple crown of acting”, meaning she has won an Oscar, a Tony and a Grammy! Now that is impressive!
