Dame Helen Mirren didn’t slow down after scooping up an Academy Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the docudrama The Queen, and its beloved star, 81, is now portraying another public figure: novelist Patricia Highsmith.
While out promoting A Talent for Murder, now playing in theaters, Mirren recently opened up about her career and what she wishes she could change — specifically, her age of all things.
“I’m so pissed off that I wasn’t born 30 years later, not because I want to be 30 years younger, but I would love to be 40 now because of the availability of [the] kind of work that’s available now that just wasn’t there,” Mirren told AARP Movies for Grownups in an interview article published this week.
The MobLand star continued, “I always used to say 30 years ago… look at the roles for women in real life and work on changing those because as night follows day, the roles will change for women in drama. And this is absolutely true… Women have stepped more and more into the public space, into the professional space. And when that happens, their roles in drama become more and more proactive, central to the story.”
Fans who have seen the A Talent for Murder trailer may not have even recognized Mirren at first, given that she trades her polished appearance for a severe wig, rumpled clothes and little makeup.
“It’s liberating in the sense you obviously have to let go of any sense of vanity or looking good on screen,” she told AARP in the Thursday, October 22 article.
