Corgis Not Included.(Helen Mirren )(Brief article)
Byline: Steven Daly
Dame Helen Mirren received a 2006 Emmy nomination for her performance in the title role of HBO's Elizabeth I, a part that's been played by countless distinguished actresses over the years, but when it came to playing Queen Elizabeth II in Stephen Frears's highly anticipated new film, The Queen, Mirren found herself in terra incognita. "I was very, very trepidatious going into this proj-ect," says Mirren. "From an acting point of view, you're trying to become someone who is so incredibly familiar to us all, yet at the same time completely unknown."
Although she describes Frears as "a bit of a lefty," Mirren felt confident that his film wouldn't be a "cruel and unnecessary" attack on the House of Windsor. "I have respect for the royal family as people," she says, "but I'm ambivalent about the institution."
