HELEN MIRREN – AGE 75

Helen Mirren was born in 1945 and raised in post-World War II England. She started acting at a young age, performing in school productions during her childhood. Mirren was a full-time theatre actress by the age of 20, entering the Royal Shakespeare Company and staying there for the majority of the 1960s and 1970s. She remained involved in theater until the late 1970s, when she began to concentrate more on film, with roles in Caligula, Hamlet, and Excalibur. Despite her preference for films, Mirren returned to the twenty-first-century stage with her final significant role as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crowd. She earned critical acclaim and a Tony Award for Best Actress.

Even as she entered her seventies, Mirren has continued to work in exciting roles, starting the decade with a role opposite Russell Brand in the Arthur remake and gaining further acclaim for her performance in the drama Trumbo. She made a cameo in the Fast and Furious franchise in 2017 with an uncredited appearance in Hobbs & Shaw. With plans to feature in Fast & Furious 9, it seems like she will continue to add to her long list of acting credits.
