I love Helen Mirren and think that she’s a great actress. And as a guy and sexist pig that I am, I also just like looking at her naked, nude and naughty.

If you liked her nude in “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover”,.....you’ll like her in “The Age Of Consent” too, a silly, cliched portrait of the so called typical “Bohemian” artist making bad paintings of beautiful nude young girls in and out of wet dresses.

She’s still very smart and sexy despite her thoughts about America and Americans. I’ll give her a pass.

[I still care]

I’ll watch her movies, because she is a good actress. But I won’t give her a pass.

I can’t imagine running down your country (that gave her a title) AND the country she’s making good money in for being “savage”. She should get on her hands and knees and thank the US that we have developed a system that gives her the handsome paycheck she is used to.

In my book, that makes her an ingrate and an hypocritical snob.

She’s still very smart and sexy despite her thoughts about America and Americans. I’ll give her a pass.
If she chooses to rail against the cultural decline as being primarily due to "American" influences, I'll have to question how smart she truly is.  The cultural decline throughout the West is due almost exclusively to the cancer of the Left, not due to the core values that America was built upon, and the values that Conservatives want to uphold and guide America's return to.  Most people in America would not consider Hollywood 'values' to be representative of America at all, and in fact consider them to be entirely anti-American.  Dame Mirren is apparently so insulated from the real America, as so much of the Hollywood elite are, that she either cannot, or does not wish to, distinquish the two.
This sort of attitude is very common among people who have either never visited America or who have only gone to the hard-Left big cities and have never ventured into what most of us consider to be the 'real' America.  For most in the world this can be excused because, unfortunately, America's image is broadcast directly from the belly of the cancerous Beast, Hollywood and L.A. , and most people simply don't have the opportunity to learn how very wrong this is as a vision of America.
A spectacularly wealthy, supposedly well-traveled woman such as Dame Mirren, however, 'should' know better and the fact that she doesn't is a sad testament to the highly insular and intellecutally-corrupting environment of Hollywood.
And let's not forget that the BBC and the UK film industry is not exactly devoid of Leftists, who gleefully use their 'megaphone' for their own agenda just as the American Left does in Hollywood.

As far as her sexiness is concerned, that of course is perhaps the most subjective judgement possible and I won't quarrel with anyone else's vision of Beauty.  For myself, when I consider sexiness I also need to be able to respect the person who is the object of my adoration.  A woman could be an absolute stunner but if she's anti-American then I'll have no use for her.  "Hanoi Jane" Fonda comes to mind as perhaps the most offensive example, but there are plenty of beautiful Hollywood women who have similar sentiments of America being the 'enemy'.

Acting skill aside, no discussion of beautiful older women would be complete without mentioning Raquel Welch who very intelligently doesn't engage in a lot of divisive public political discussion but who has made a considerable effort to entertain our Military overseas and she has also made some comments against radical militant feminism, which I hold to her eternal credit and esteem.
