Helen Mirren was born on July 26, 1945, in Hammersmith, London, England to Russian father Vasily Petrovich Mironoff and English mother Kathleen Alexandrina Eva Matilda. She went to Westcliff-on-Sea’s Hamlet Court Primary School, where she played the lead in a school production of “Hansel and Gretel.” She went on to attend St. Bernard’s High School for Girls in Southend-on-Sea, where she also performed in school plays. Mirren then attended the New College of Speech and Drama in London, a teaching college. Helen Mirren auditioned for the National Youth Theatre at the age of 18 and was accepted. When she was 20, she played Cleopatra in the Old Vic’s production of “Antony and Cleopatra,” a role she credits with launching her career. Mirren’s work with the New York Times led to her signing with agent Al Parker and being invited to join the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1960s. Mirren appeared in nearly a dozen major theater productions between 1966 and 1971. In September 1975, she played Maggie, a rock star, in the West End’s Royal Court Theater production of “Teeth ‘n’ Smiles.” Later that year, she played Nina in “The Bed Before Yesterday,” another West End production. She received critical acclaim in 1981 for her performance as “The Duchess of Malfi,” a production of Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre that was later transferred to The Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, London. She co-starred with Bob Peck in “Two Way Mirror” at the Young Vic in London in 1989.

Mirren made her Broadway debut in 1994 and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress twice: once for “A Month in the Country” in 1995 and again in 2002 for “Dance of Death,” in which she co-starred with Sir Ian McKellen. Their tense rehearsal period for the show coincided with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City. She finally won a Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play in June 2015, for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in “The Audience,” which also earned her a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress.
