description: Helen Mirren is one of the best-loved, most highly respected actresses working today, winning acclaim for her remarkable range and richly layered performances. Although she originally made her mark on the stage, it was her role as DCI Tennison, the gritty lead in Prime Suspect, that really launched her career and won her a string of awards. She went on to a series of challenging roles in films like Caligula, The Comfort of Strangers, The Madness of King George, and Gosford Park, for which she received an Oscar nomination. In this new biography, Sunday Times journalist Ivan Waterman charts her life and her struggle to the top, her relationships with fellow actors, including Liam Neeson, and her marriage to film director Taylor Hackford.
