TINSELTOWN TIDBITS . . . HELEN MIRREN WINS BERLIN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 2020 Dame Helen Mirren accepted the Lifetime Achievement Golden Bear Award at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival and took time for a discussion of her extraordinary career. She shared how her ground-breaking English detective Jane Pettison, the first woman to lead an all-male department in the “Prime Suspect” series, led to her Oscar-winning role Elizabeth II in “The Queen.” “On the last ‘Prime Suspect,’ I always tried to get there first and welcome the cast and make people feel ‘We’re on this together’ because it can be so intimidating. “Andy Harries, who produced ‘Prime Suspect,’ was looking at me and thought, ‘They’re all treating her like the queen.’ And then he thought, ‘Oh, she looks a bit like the queen’ — there is a physical similarity. Then he thought, ‘I’m going to get Peter Morgan to write it and have Helen play the queen’ – and he did.” Mirren is an inspiration to all women and especially those in the entertainment professtion. The world rejoices in this honor given for her great talent and the fine work she has done throughout her career. Brava Dame Helen! _____________________________________________
