Helen Mirren can be considered one of the best actors out there right now if not of all time. In her decades-long career, she s taken on roles across every acting medium: film, television and theatre. All the while, she s gained a multitude of nominations in each, including several wins.
Although she had been appearing in movies since the late 60s, Mirren rose to her modern level of prominence as the lead in Prime Suspect, a police procedural drama that ran for 7 seasons. By the time Prime Suspect began airing in 1991, Mirren had begun gathering momentum with other roles, most notably 1995 s The Madness of King George, for which she earned her first Academy Award nomination.
