[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 296115, member: 1991"] I've always admired helen Mirren - a bit outrageous at times when it wasn't done, but a brilliant actress who took on daring roles with a point. I first saw her in "Age of Consent" when I was 15. She played a 15 year old girl who posed nude for an artsist (loosely based on Norman Lindsay who wrote the book) and I loved the film. I was too innocent to see naything dirty in te relationship between artist & model - and of course, there was nothing in the relationship. But in the film, others saw what wasn't there and caused problems. The film was beautiful, filmed oon Great Barrier Reef and had James Mason as the artist (doing a very good Aussie accent). Ever since then I've like everything I've seen of Helen Mirren. "Calendar Girls" was wonderful. Also on my list - Pauline Collins especially in "Shirley Valentine". Filmed in the Greek islands, about a woman who learns more about herself than she has been able to for years. I do love those Julia Child quotes. There are some wonderful quotes by strong women. I make a point of learning them all and freely plagiarise! Marg [/QUOTE]
