| Helena Bonham Carter |
|
"I could play 5,000 drug addicts and I'd still be known as Mrs. Corset Queen."
| Date of Birth: May 26, 1966 |
| Birthplace: London |
| |
|
 |
| Helena has charmed audiences in dozens of acclaimed films, television features, plays, and radio pieces. Renowned and much loved in England, she has recently achieved American blockbuster status with Fight Club and Planet of the Apes. |
 |
| She is equally convincing as a 19th century "corset queen" as she is as a 20th century American drug addict. And she's gorgeous. |

Helena Bonham Carter was born in London on May 26, 1966, to a banker father and a psychotherapist mother. Her young life was rough: When she was five, her mother suffered a nervous breakdown (later to recover), and when she was around 13, her father became paralyzed after complications arose during brain surgery. While her father was still in the hospital, she won a poetry contest and used the money to get her picture in a casting catalog. Not long after, she hired an agent who helped her get her marvelous career underway.
Despite the hardship, she comes from the finest stock: Her great-grandfather, H.H. Asquith, was prime minister of England from 1908 to 1916; her great-uncle was the famous director Anthony Asquith; and her grandmother was a famous socialite/orator/politician. It is thus no surprise that much of her acclaimed career has seen her playing a British aristocrat. |
