Magnificent. Sophisticated, sexy, comfortable, confident, intelligent, warm, giving, smart, knowlegable, infused with wisdom, unpretentious, and every other glorious adjective one knows..... That's HELEN MIRREN.
You truly speak for us all Charlie! lol: Charlie really WAS flirting kinda hard with Helen, wasn't he?? I wonder what Taylor thinks...
It must have been astonishing to see those wedding pictures for the first time. How funny, her family flees Russian communism only to become British socialists. I have a feeling that Charlie already knows what I have always suspected - that Helen is a real live wire. I hope she gets a chance to show more of Mrs Tingle in future. Maybe this next film will give her the chance...
Certainly was a double helping of pixie dust sprinkled over that interview, eh Charlie? Giddy as a school boy...I think you and Morley Safer should get out the duelling pistols and just have at it. The lady is a dazzler.
Of course, Charlie, you adore her. We all adore her. She is a goddess.
I agree with Pam Gladstone, what a lovely interview. I love all your interviews, Charlie, what a great way for this 79 yr.old, living in the wilds of Vermont, to stay in touch with the world. Just wish I could convey to Helen Mirren how much I appreciated her love of Queen Elizabeth. When 12 yrs. old I was given a book about the Queen which ignited my interest in and love of her. I always recognized the dedication to her duties, shaped during WWII, which she followed unwaveringly and felt it shocking that in the bruhaha over Princess Diana the British people seemed not to recognize this. Hopefully Dame Mirren's portrayal will have gone a long way to correct this. Thanks, again, Charlie. You always brighten my day.
I wish I was Helen Mirren...
A beautiful and tender conversation between two exceptional people. Helen Mirren's love and respect for Elizabeth II and Charlie's similar sentiments for Mirren, made this a joyous television event.
Thanks for confirming it Charlie. I suspected just as much by the way you deftly reached for her hand to check out her tattoo. You adore the Lady. The other give-away was the number of times you incommodiously interrupted her or completed her thoughts for her - virtually none, if one and only by invitation. [Contrast that with your conversation with Soros, where your impatient intelligence could hardly be restrained.\ It is a treat for your viewers to see this vulnerable, tender, aching, unrequited longing and love at a distance play out on TV. That Mirren charm, dangerous thing that. Pure love dust.
