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.

Sure, we can drool over the young stuff. But in my 70’s, a well preserved 65 year old looks pretty good also. I saw 70 year old Raquel Welch on TV over the weekend. She still looks doable.
Due to “sagging” issues, it’s the first centerfold that opens top to bottom rather than side to side....
She looks amazing...I’m jealous!
>>> Wasnt she in Caligula (which, as I understand it, was a movie in which unsimulated sex acts occurred)?
Yes but not with her. The producer brought in professional porn actors for more authentic Roman orgy scenes. The “name” actors such as Helen, John Gielgud and Peter O’Toole didn’t sign up for that. I don’t recall Helen’s particular response to that but I do know some of the regular cast were angered they had been tricked into a semi-porno movie. However the editing was beyond their control.
>>> Any pics of her 50 years ago?
The earliest movie I became aware of Helen was as Arthur’s evil sister Morgana in “Excalibur”. Quite a lovely lady.

ROFL
Same with me, I loved her in that!
