Helen Mirren is amazing, no doubt. One of the great actresses of our time!!

[@انت-صلي-عالنبي-بس]

Who could believe that 25 years have literally passed since this episode was shot ? 😅💚

[@johntravis3500]

Still breathtaking at 75. God! What a beautiful woman.

[@drewa6891]

Pure class

[@olivermitchell2312]

Wish talk show’s would have conversations like this and not the empty promotional nonsense that happens now. Though after covid 19 we may see a shift back to conversation!

[@c0mputer]

I want to go back to interesting talks on talk shows.

[@FreyaF...]

The first time I saw Helen Mirren perform was in the 1980's movie EXCALIBUR. My God she was great in that!!

[@mooseyman74]

Ride the dragons breath! 😄

[@brucer9572]

My goodness! I just got an education. Thank you, Mr. Cavett and Helen Mirren.

[@larryc8348]

The relief in Dick Cavett's voice at 03:46 when he finds out Helen Mirren doesn't smoke in real life is genuinely touching. Really.

[@rr7firefly]

I know Helen Mirren best from the last episode of the "Prime Suspect" series (title: "The Final Act") She was stunning in her role of Jane Tennison who is at her wits end at the end of her long career. She was so convincing that it is a little strange to see her as her normal self.

[@XPRT10R]

Instead of playing Queen Elizabeth, she ought to have played Princess Margaret. Very similar structure and eyes

[@thewatchmen4920]

Her personality, charms, intelligent and body makes her so beautiful. Age doesn't matter. She's a classy lady 🇺🇲

[@mirrenfan2]

Thanks for posting!

[@vaclav_fejt]

In this interview she reminds me of Theresa May...except the fact it's nice to hear her.

[@johnhaug9612]

Another addiction not known in the mid-nineties is binge watching. Like the tobacco fix I chain viewed through Prime Suspect now on HULU. My only criticism is they offered no CC.

[@gregmattson2238]

would love to see the whole thing.

[@scottcharney1091]

Tobacco executives would say that smoking was "habit-forming," and that it might be hard to break said habit. That's still denial, but it's a clever use of "weasel words."

[@nautika1]

I love Helen Mirren so much

[@Gannooch]

i have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? How about any Honeymooners actors that were a part of the main cast?

[@michaelperkins3003]

Smart, well-spoken, great actress, and less we forget she is beautiful and sexy!

[@garrybaldy327]

I can't believe she says she's a non-smoker. After Prime Suspect, I just thought she was a chain smoker in real life

[@stevenmorley1639]

As an actor , Helen has a great sense of perception and observation within her personality, that comes through in her performances. #essexfinest

[@kenbranaugh8251]

How old?

[@ajs41]

She was 49 here.

[@greasyflight6609]

Lovely women

[@jackclements2163]

I've always felt she has a spectre that follows her about, her vanity and insecurities regarding her beauty. If you see her in varying interviews as the decades rolled by, she really does seem to have a sadness about her and a struggle to maintain her own level of what she herself accepts as her own personal beauty, as though she's fighting to maintain that natural beauty from youth. It must be awful for her to carry that, she's no real need at all but I guess it's all part and parcel of what can happen to stars as they age.

[@matthewgantry9998]

That's just british.

[@acchaladka]

That's just an actress.

[@ajs41]

No surprise that she has never smoked in real life, she wouldn't look so good if she did.

[@12348477]

Has she just left Southampton Row police station?

[@Spiderman7Bob7]

When was this clip recorded ? Dick Cavett has put on a few years since his reguler TV series. He certainly forgot how to introduce a guest judging by this clip. He seems to stumble and almost stutters.

[@ajs41]

March 1995.

[@c0mputer]

Yeah I can see that.

[@nataliedelagrandiere4022]

I preferred Dick Cavett in the early 70's.

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

I preferred life in the 70's

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

I am sorry I do not trust Her. Something honest doesn't click. Something malicious, crafty, yesthat projects.

[@franciscoamayanaranjo2213]

That is your fucking problem

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

"Isn't it amazing how people can lie under oath" not anymore Helen. Trump as made lying an art.

[@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415]

like polosi and newson,,,,,, champagne socialist

[@scottcharney1091]

@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415 *Pelosi, *Newsom. "Limousine liberals," sure, but "champagne socialists?" The Democratic Party is a neoliberal capitalist party. There's nothing socialist there.

actors are bloody crazy and she is no different,,, also the casting couch
