Helen Mirren, who had a Lacroix gown custom-made for her, admit to Oprah that she didn't have to and really didn't wear underwear at the Oscars;
Dame Helen Mirren didn't have underwear on at the Oscars.
The actress has revealed she went 'commando' when she collected her Best
Actress award for playing Queen Elizabeth II in 'The Queen' on Sunday
(25.02.07).
Helen, who was speaking about her customised Christian Lacroix gown, told US
chat show host Oprah Winfrey: "It was all made for me so I didn't have to
have any underwear."
Grasping her breasts to illustrate her point, she added: "It fitted me like
two angel's hands. I cried when I put it on, it is a work of art."
Helen, 61, arrived back in Britain yesterday (27.02.07) and fellow
passengers gave her a standing ovation.
Clutching her statuette at Heathrow Airport, she spent 20 minutes posing for
photographs and signing autographs.
She said: "I have had the most incredible welcome to my country. It's very,
very sweet."
Meanwhile, Helen insists she would be too nervous to meet the real Queen
Elizabeth.
It was reported Buckingham Palace were keen to organise a meeting between
the pair, but the actress has refused the offer.
Helen told Britain's Hello magazine: "I have thought about that. What would
I do? I don't think I could handle that. I mean, what do you say?"
