The Bikini that shook the world

Jaws dropped all over the world as a photograph of Helen Mirren in a red bikini, first published in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper last week, was reprinted in newspapers and on websites everywhere. Mirren turns 63 on Saturday.

"The dazzling sight of Helen Mirren frolicking in her red bikini in this week’s papers gave an awful lot of women an awful lot to think about. I imagine for the most part, their thoughts were like mine - one-tenth admiring and nine-tenths green with envy and self-digust"


HMAS member Barrie Smith, 61, from South Carolina was contacted by a producer for BBC Live Five to participate in a segment where a panel of various cultural "experts" discussed the idea of people finding a 60-something woman attractive in a bikini. "I firmly believe that Helen Mirren has caused a paradigm shift" says Barrie. "There are an awful lot of women who need an example, a role model" - and Helen seems to set the bar for beauty, irrespective of age.

No wonder she is the sexiest woman over 60.. Helen looks great, and she deserves it. She is a living proof of the fact that you can look great, no matter how old you are!

She is really beautiful but this is not her main attribute. Being the most talented actress of all times is!

I agree with you all. That´s the way I wanna look when I turn 60! Hopefully the picture works as an inspiration for women, not jealousy. But I´m a big admirer of her as an actress...that means more than her looks. :-D

People today are too pre-occupied with image. Helen just looks after herself. Their is more to Helen than her looks. Just listen to what she has to say...Her Art/being an Actress is all consumming, as it should be. To stay ahead of the game one must work very hard in many areas of her life. I admire her. She is inspirational to women, young and old. She IS beautiful, body and SOUL! H.Ranger from Australia.
