Helen Mirren should be a James Bond Girl: Yes or No?

Come on Hollywood - give the ol' ladies a chance. Do something different for a change, especially when some actresses get hotter as they age.

Does anyone else think that Helen Mirren should get a role in a James Bond film, as either the femme fatale or the good Bond girl? I want to see Helen Mirren in an action movie in which she ain't doing the Judi Dench role.







I don't think Daniel Craig will have any problem shagging an ol' lady since he's done it in THE MOTHER:

Yeah, if I had to have sex with a 63 year old woman Helen Mirren would definitely be it.

noirfan,
why does it have to be an ultimatum issue - "if I had to have sex with a 63 year old"? If it's normal for a 63 year old man to have sex with a 22 year old girl, why not the other way around, especially if the 63 year old woman is hot?

Would you rather have sex with Julia Roberts or Helen Mirren? Julia Roberts is younger and she isn't "ugly", but Helen Mirren is ten times hotter and more attractive than Julia Roberts...

Nice! I wonder how recent that one is? Is that just one pic or is part of a set? For (*ahem*) academic reasons, I'd like to see more...

I have fucking ADORED Helen Mirren since her incredibly hot performance as Morgana in EXCALIBUR. I'd kill or die for a shot at her now!









So yeah, color me IN.

I have said this since seeing Excalibur back in 1981.

Helen was hot then and that she has aged and has still stayed deliciously sexy blows my mind. To me she's still very appealing.

She has some great nudes and non-nudes pics in her autobiography In the Frame: My life in Words and Pictures.

Thanks all for the Excalibur recommendation. I've always sort of wanted to see this film, now I'm definitely going to pick up this dvd (selling for about 10 bucks at stores) since I never realized Helen Mirren was in this film.

Did Helen Mirren evolve like Jennifer Connelly? Meaning, doing sexy roles at start of career and then "got serious" and "covering up"? Does anyone recommend any other of her earlier movies where she is hot?

uh... 'Caligula'

she'd be great as another agent or even a villaness in a Bond film.

Was her early movie "Age of Consent" released on DVD anywhere in the world? I know that there is a Tartan widescreen PAL VHS tape of this film...

I don't think so. She's done some fairly recent nude/sex scenes. Also, Craig Ferguson had her on and he said that back in the UK, Helen was always known for her nude scenes going back to the 60's(?) and 70's.

Heck yeah...but maybe more of a villain than a traditional "Bond Girl."

Her villain name could be "The Cougar."

it's bond "girl", not bond "old lady" despite how good she looks.
