When Dame Helen Mirren returned to the ancestral home of her father in western Russia, the Oscar-winning actress might have reasonably expected a welcome as warm as the weather was cold. Instead, she was greeted by Kalashnikov-wielding bodyguards and a “gangster-like” oligarch apparently convinced she had returned to reclaim the family estate. The encounter took place as Dame Helen - who was born Ilynea Vasilievna Mironov before her exiled aristocrat father gave her a more English-sounding name - returned to her roots before starting work on The Last Station, a biopic of the last years of Leo Tolstoy’s life. * Dame Helen Mirren.

Dame Helen Mirren has never wanted children. 'The Queen' actress confessed that although she does not mind looking after youngsters every once in a while, she is always pleased when they are collected by their mother and father. She told the Sunday Times Magazine: "I've never been hugely maternal, but I've always loved children as an aunt, a naughty aunt. I'm very happy to be able to give children back to their parents...
