Dame Helen Mirren has been wowing with her sex appeal since her career began in the mid sixties.

From The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover in 1989 to 2003′s Calendar Girls, the actress has never been afraid to bare all on screen.

And yet the award-winning actress has not allowed herself to be objectified, playing powerful women, from hard-as-nails police detective Jane Tennison in hit TV drama Prime Suspect, to Her Majesty The Queen on both stage and screen.
