Tremendous acting in that film. Peter Sellers. James Mason. Brilliant. Rosemary Clooney played her role well also. Very funny and controversial movie. That's all I got.

James Mason was a lucky actor. His character was married to Ursula Andress' in "the Blue Max". He got to watch and sketch a very young Helen Mirren swim naked around his boat in another film back in the 60's. Then, of course, he got to lust after Sue Lyon in Lolita.

Age of Consent is the Helen Mirren movie, 1969ish I believe. Sony Movie Channel had in on last year, one night only.

They must have been glorious to see in person because they were glorious on film...she couldn't have been more than 21 back then. Very shapely hipped woman, not the toothpicks you see nowadays, the classic hourglass 60's idea of a female movie star. Not as facially beautiful as Andress (who was ungodly hot when she was young)...but better built up top for certain.

I always though his character's name in Lolita...Humbert Humbert...was awesome.

She was actually 24 when "Age of Consent" came out, so she was probably 22 or 23 when the film was shot. her character looked about 16 to 18. Hard to believe she's 70 now.
 
Are there really no photos in this thread?

Helen Mirren was one of the FINEST women to ever bare all on screen. That gif is hands down, (my pants) my favorite gif on here ever.
