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.

I Mirren-Rolled ya.
No Beaver Way road? Bummer!
I don’t have a problem with the appearance of people in their 60s. I think some are very nice to look at. I just have a problem with immodesty, and I am sadder when older people do it, because we look to them for life cues.
Just bring up her name in a room full of British actors and sit back. The stories go on for hours. I love her, but I don’t remember ever hearing her name and the words “shame”, “modest” or “shy” in same sentence.
Helen Mirren about 45 years ago
Helen Mirren last year.
Wish most women at 35 looked as good as Mirren at 65.
>”Is that a gang tat at the base of her left thumb?”
From the article ...
“the small, black Native American tattoo on her left hand (the result, she says, of a wild, drunken night in Minnesota)”
Geesh. Why does everything wierd always come back to this Liberal State?
Seeing some of the pics, I think the tat actually carries her “Tribal Name”, Knee-Knocker.
This thread is worthless without pictures.
Not guilty!

LMAO!
Check out PanzerKardinal’s pic posts.
She’s a decent actress-if that. However, her opinion of waiting for marriage to have sex isn’t puritanical. It makes perfect sense to many women who don’t have Hollywood careers or the big bucks that go with it.
Holy Cats! NOT GUILTY in those “last year” pics.
>> Why does everything wierd always come back to this Liberal State?
Swedish and Norwegian DNA?
You too will be old one day, if you are lucky.
Helen looks great to an old fossil like myself.
I'm tell'n ya. May also have something to do with not getting all the lye out of the Lutefisk.
I'd spend my Social Security check on her in a heartbeat.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Cheers!
