"Afraid not to be as good as Golda Meir, and then went for me": To be Helen Mirren | Israel today

2022-03-02T05:36:51.149Z


She is one of the greatest actresses of our time, and just before she plays the character of Golda Meir, she is impressive in the film "The Duke" which is now coming to cinemas


Today (Wednesday) the film "The Duke" will star in theaters starring Oscar-winning British actor duo Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent.

The plot of the film is based on an affair that took place in England in 1961, when a taxi driver named Kampton in Anton, a man in his 60s, stole from the National Gallery in London the original portrait of Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington.

It is an expensive work of art painted by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya in 1814.

Benton, played by Broadbent ("Iris and John," "Mulan Rouge") passed a ransom demand to authorities that the painting be returned, provided the government stopped abandoning the elderly population in England.

Benton's wife, Dorothy, is played by Helen Mirren in the film.

Miran (76) is considered one of the greatest actresses of our time and is one of 21 actors who have won the title of "Triple Crown" with wins in all three leading acting awards: the Oscars, the Emmys and the Tony.

She won an Oscar for her role as Queen Elizabeth II of England in the 2007 film The Queen. She also won four Emmy Awards, including for the British drama series The Immediate Suspect.

She picked up the Tony Award for the play, "The Audience," which premiered on Broadway in 2015. Earlier this week, Miran was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hollywood Actors Guild Awards.

During the promotion of the film "The Duke" Miran said that "it's a story I was quite surprised to discover. Something I would not easily be convinced to believe would have happened if I did not know otherwise. Of the couple. This is what usually happens when it comes to the role of the wife as the one who holds the whole family. Her husband is a dreamy type, but full of courage and dedication in his own way. I think you can take something from each of them. And meet the other commitments in life. "

Miran's resume includes films such as "Gosford Park", an American adaptation of the Israeli film "The Debt" by Assaf Bernstein and Ido Rosenblum, and in recent years she has even joined the "Fast and Furious" film series.

Last month, she made headlines when her casting for the Oscar-winning film "Golda" by Israeli director Guy Nativ was released.

Miran will play former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

There were those who criticized the decision to cast Miran for the position, claiming that she was not Jewish.

"This is a question I was definitely wondering about before I agreed to the job," Miran said in an interview with the British Daily Mail three weeks ago.

"I said to Guy, 'I'm not Jewish, and if you want to think about it and go in a different direction - I will not hold a grudge and I will completely understand.' My only real fear is that I will not be good as Golda, and then it went on for me. "
