Early-life:
Born Ilyena Lydia Mironoff on July 26, 1945, in Chiswick, London. She has an older sister and a younger brother. Her father was a member of an aristocratic Russian military family forced to move to the UK by the 1917 Revolution.

Her most famous TV role is Jane Tennison in police drama Prime Suspect. Her first movie was Herostratus in 1967. More famous parts came in Caligula, The Long Good Friday, Excalibur, The Mosquito Coast, Calendar Girls and Elizabeth I. In 2003 she was made a Dame and three years later won an Oscar for The Queen. She's also been nominated for The Madness of King George, Gosford Park and Hitchcock. Other big-screen outings include State of Play, The Last Station, The Tempest, Brighton Rock, Red and the remake of Arthur.
Quote:
"Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be. I can't stand it when they behave like solicitors from Penge."
Trivia:
Mirren claims to love camping, and even went on a trip with her ex-boyfriend, Liam Neeson, while they were still an item.
