The 64-year-old actress, who won an Oscar for The Queen, took part in the Juergen Teller shoot to publicise her latest role as a brothel madam in Love Ranch. "I'm still the good girl who wants to be a bad girl," she said in the accompanying interview for New York magazine.
Why shouldn't women try to have it all if that's what they want?"But I'll never make it as a bad girl... I'm not a prude or a moralist and I never have been, but I'm too fearful, too much of a wimp, really."
Dame Helen said she learned early in her career to use her sexuality to her advantage, appearing in the notorious 1979 film Caligula.
"A lot of it is plain, old-fashioned practicality. I wanted to work. When I did Caligula, for example, I hadn't really done movies," she explained.
"But I was kind of a trailblazer because I demanded to do it my own way. I'd say, 'I'm not having it put on me by someone else'. I didn't want to be the sort of puritanical good girl with a little white collar who says, 'Don't ---- until you get married'."
Love Ranch is directed by Dame Helen's husband, Taylor Hackford, and is based on the real-life story of the couple who owned the Mustang Ranch, the first legalised brothel in the US. Joe Pesci plays her husband.

You know, as I pass through middle age this kind of thing offends me less and less. We as men seem so occupied with the young trophy girls that we to often turn our backs on the REAL women in our lives.
BWAHAA! I had to look that up. I occasionally go to Sag Harbor, and don’t want to see sexagenarians topless.

Is this surprising? Wasn’t she in Caligula (which, as I understand it, was a movie in which unsimulated sex acts occurred)?
SnakeDoc
Any pics of her 50 years ago? But thanks anyway.
Heh heh! I've never been to Sag Harbor, but if there are any of those walking around, I don't want to!
Its actually a very pretty town usually overrun by tourists in the summertime (it was formerly a major whaling port). More families than topless old ladies, thankfully.

The culture war continues to churn.
I googled her tat. Apparently I’m not the only curious one; it’s quite adequately covered on The Source Of All (Secular) Knowledge.
She got it during a drunk many years ago.
Now she finds it disgusting — not because it’s an ugly but very visible tat, but because getting ugly but very visible tats is now MAINSTREAM, and gosh darn it, Helly wants to be DIFFERENT from the hoi polloi.
Just the kind of gal you’d want your daughter to marry, eh?
She’s a great actress, the other stuff, not so much.
She’s a skank.
>”“My girls: Miley, Scarlett, Lady Gaga. My team … Yes.”
And if this Skank feels she needs to include herself with THIS GANG? LMAO! You be da Queen Skank at da ‘Ho Ball.
(Of course, it’s simply my very humble opinion)
What can’t you do in terms of pic posting?
Too much sun on face effect plus she is lilly white fair.
Not bad though for her age!
I guess at her age she wants to prove she is more than long in the tooth! Hopefully this will not be a 3D movie.
Anyone ping laz yet?
It’s not like she’s paid to think. All actresses are the same, no matter how they might gloss over their antics.
Oh no~
Joe Pesci! My god, where’s he been? I love that guy!
