Dame Helen Mirren revealed on GMTV this morning the real story behind that famous bikini photo - and why fame can drive you crazy.
Questioned if she was pleased by the flattering bikini photo, the actress said:
“I was very pleased, as you can imagine, that it happened to be a flattering shot. Because it could so easily have not have been. And I’m amazed because we were sunbathing and swimming somewhere where there was absolutely nothing. There wasn’t even a beach, it was just rocks – it was impossible to get into the water. There were cactuses, brambles, rocks, and, you know, really difficult to get to. And just as my husband was taking a photo of me – and I was posing nicely for my husband – I saw immediately behind him the flash of a camera. And I dropped – he said it was very funny – I dropped flat on the rock, out of his shot. “God tell him – there’s a paparazzi up there!” And he turned round and said there’s nothing – because the guy had ducked away. And he said, “No there’s not – you’re paranoid, don’t be ridiculous.” So obviously just as Taylor took the shot, the guy took the shot. And so, on an incredibly, incredibly long lens – that was why I saw it, because it was such a big lens. So I thought it was my paranoia – and then three days later I realised it wasn’t.”
Paul Newman, the legendary movie star and irreverent cultural icon who created a model philanthropy fueled by profits from a salad dressing that became nearly as famous as he was, has died. He was 83.
Newman died Friday at his home near Westport, Conn., after a long battle with cancer, publicist Jeff Sanderson said.
