EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1965, where a young and ambitious Helen Mirren graces us with her presence. At just 20 years old, she had already made waves in the theater world as Cleopatra at the renowned Old Vic. Despite numerous film offers knocking on her door, Helen chose to prioritize her studies at drama school for another year – a testament to her unwavering dedication.
