Rene Russo

Rene Russo is one of the most well-known models of the 1970s, when she appeared on covers of magazines such as Vogue and Cosmopolitan. Russo turned her hand to acting in the ‘80s, and in the ‘90s she really gained international recognition for her work in films such as Lethal Weapon 3 and 4, Get Shorty, and The Thomas Crown Affair, and many more after that. Russo is still rocking it in movies today at 67!

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren is seen as quite a national treasure in the United Kingdom, gaining the ultimate recognition as such when she was appointed Dame for her services to drama in 2003. When Mirren was just 18 she auditioned for the National Youth Theater and was accepted, a move which would lead to her being signed to an agent, and was soon invited to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. The theater was surely Mirren’s greatest love, but she also began doing film simultaneously in the late 1960s, with her real on-screen breakthrough in 1980 with The Long Good Friday. Since then Mirren has built up a seriously impressive acting career, being the only person to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting in both the US and the UK.
