Most recently, a very colorful and unusual film about love "Ghost Beauty" appeared on the screens. It played a lot of great actors, and one of them was Helen Mirren, who inherited the role of Death.
To depict Death is not very difficult
71-year-old actress Mirren accepted the invitation from the glossy HELLO! and shared with the publication of her impressions of the shooting. First of all, Helen touched on the script, which she immediately liked. Here is what the actress said about him:
"The plot of the film is very stunning. I immediately realized this, as soon as I began to read the script. All events unfold around the main character - a young man named Howard. He had to endure a personal loss and he, in order to somehow come to his senses, began to write letters. But these are not just messages to some people, but letters to abstract concepts: Love, Death, etc. More can not say, because then the intrigue of the film will be lost. In addition to the plot, I was attracted by the desire to work with Will Smith, who played in the same picture Howard. I can say that Will is a wonderful person and an amazing actor. "
After that, Mirren decided to tell a little about who such a Death, the heroine, who portrayed the actress on the screen:
"I adore my Death, although her image was not given to me for long. In my head immediately popped up some pictures of women in black clothes, but the specifics of the film did not fit this image. He was very grim. When I talked to the director, he told me: "It is necessary that Death first appeared from around the corner." And then we turned our heads and saw a woman with pink hair come out. Then I exclaimed: "I will be with pink hair!". After that I went to the dresser and tried on a bright wig. However, the pink did not go to me. This color seemed to "score" me. Then there were a few more attempts to find the image of Death, but all of them were unsuccessful. I do not know how much we would have suffered if I had accidentally stumbled upon an article on the Internet saying that the bluebird bird in some religions personifies death. It is this fact that we have taken as the basis. The costume was picked up by the beautiful clothes of a noble blue color. "
Then the interviewer asked how difficult it was to play Death. Helen so answered this question:
"You know, actors have to portray different, and a couple of very strange characters. In my practice it was such that I represented a sheet of lettuce, and my colleague Michael Gambon - a brush from dust. So playing Death is not the most difficult part of my life. "Read also

According to the plot of the picture "Ghost Beauty", all the actions take place in New York on Christmas Eve, however, the shooting took place in the spring. About how the film's director David Frankel struggled with nature, Helen also told the magazine HELLO !:
"David prayed to God that it would snow. Every day he peered into the sky and said: "Well, come on. Let it snow! ". It was very funny to watch. However, the heavens did not hear it, and a miracle did not happen. The director had to make an artificial winter and Christmas New York. I can assure you, I fell in love with him. New York on Christmas Eve - it's very beautiful. "
