  1. So nice to admire an actor without the afterthought: “I wonder if they hate Jews.” Too many do.

    I have been a fan of Helen Mirren since the underrated “The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover” was released in 1991.

  2. I say, old man, but the the lady’s proper form of address is “Dame Helen,” not “Dame Mirren.” One might also refer to her as “Dame Helen Mirren,” but should never address her that way.

    Harumph!
