Helen Mirren Wants to Return to Broadway!

Oscar winner and stage veteran Helen Mirren recently shared with the New York Post that she is eager to return to the Great White Way. Mirren revealed: "I very much want to do Broadway. Soon. Quite soon. I'm hoping something will jell."

Mirren has won international recognition for performances spanning four decades. For her role as Queen Elizabeth II in Miramax's "The Queen," Mirren won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA and Critic's Choice Award. In addition, she was named Best Actress by every critic's organization from Los Angeles to London. At the Venice Film Festival she won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress and received a five-minute standing ovation for her performance after the film's premiere.

Mirren has also received significant recognition for two other performances she filmed in the same year as "The Queen." For HBO, she portrayed Queen Elizabeth I in the miniseries "Elizabeth I." She won an Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award for that role. The two-part series explored the queen's public and private life late in her reign.

Mirren also reprised her long-running character Detective Jane Tennison in "Prime Suspect: The Final Act," the last installment in the PBS series. The performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination, however she lost to herself - she was nominated twice in the same category. The character previously won her an Emmy and three BAFTA Awards.
