Charlize Theron and five other stars who were lucky enough to play Queens

Become Queen of the screen – the shortest path to “Oscar”!

Every time the producers start casting on
the role of any Queen wishing to try on the crown at least on film
the site is more than enough. After all, besides the fact that it’s fun and
flattered vanity, the actress who played monarchs seldom remain at least without
nominations for prestigious awards. And some especially distinguished themselves in such
roles like Helen Mirren, cate Blanchett or Judy Dench — get even higher
Academy awards. In addition, of course, if you don’t consider it random
by coincidence, Elizabeth II is the present Queen of great Britain, often favor
Actresses playing monarchs, the honorary title of “Court lady”. What
it is considered analogous to knight’s title for women. In
least, all three often play Queens actress — Mirren, Dench, and
Helena Bonham-Carter were awarded this honor…

Judi Dench

During his 57-year career, Judy had time to play Queens three times: in the series “Age of kings”, the film about Victoria is “Mrs brown” and “Enamoured Shakespeare”. And all three times have been more than successful. In “Shakespeare” she played so brilliantly that her tiny role, with a length of only 8 minutes of screen time, the Academy has awarded Dench an Oscar. Coming on stage to receive their well-deserved award, Judy joked: “of course, I’m flattered. But, it seems to me that in just a few minutes on the screen I, in justice, deserved only a piece of the statue!”

Actually, it would seem quite a small role was given to Judy easy. The fact that the costume is made for middle-aged Actresses unbearable heaviness dress. Moreover, it turned out to be such a complicated construction that it was impossible to dress without the help of three assistants. Besides, this outfit was very tall and stiff collar. However, as Judy said, it only helped the actress to get used to the image of Elizabeth I. Indeed, in this outfit it was just impossible to keep your head a king. But that’s not all: head Dench was decorated with a huge wig, and the face imposes such a thick layer of white that he had bound the facial expressions of the actress. Moreover, because Judy is very petite (height 155 cm), built shoes with sky-high height heels. And Judy in tagelangem uncomfortable dress bravely teetered in her unstable shoes on the set. And the Director, looking at her and laughed. He called Dench “Peppercorn Tudor times”, alluding to the fact that she has heels as high as what was loved in his time a member of the group “Spice Girls”.

However, Dench heroically overcame all difficulties and played well
which, looking at it, it is impossible not to believe in exactly this and was a Queen
Elizabeth I. In the end, Judy has earned the love and respect of the audience. A few years ago she took first place in the ranking of the most
adored women of Britain. And once she trusted to read it into memory
victims of the tragedy of September 11, 2011 — instead of the Queen Elizabeth
II!
