The 73-year-old actress embodies the Empress in an array of extraordinary designs, set to transport viewers back to the 18th century.

I remember the gorgeous Julia Ormond played a young Catherine the Great.

Sneak peek: Another still shows a suit specially made for the Empress to enjoy at the transvestite ball, one of her favourite events Yes. Eighteenth century Russian transvestites ARE important in any discussion of Catharine the Great. (/rolls eyes)

She has an interesting film career. We saw her in Calendar Girls and I thought something was going on there. It was the first film I ever saw her in. So I did a search of her filmography.
When you see her earlier works (e.g. Age of Consent) you’ll get a feeling for the full picture of her acting career.

I remember her from “Excalibur”. She co-starred with her ex-bf who played Merlin so the on screen tension between the two was real.

Which is a real compliment to her personal trainer.

I was rather shocked by Age of Consent. That was produced at a time when it was incredibly rare.
Then again, I suppose Susan Sarandon would love to take back her role in Joe.
To: C19fan
Helen went through a really hot phase, but I have to say here she looks like Frederick the Great.

Dame Helen is one of my all time favorites. Plus I appreciate that I have no idea what her political opinions are and she probably still looks great naked.
