Thank you for your candor, Helen. It is very refreshing in this day and age.

Big deal - not sure why Helen Mirren felt the need to get so personal though. But she is of that generation that tried drugs - she is hardly unique. And APOCALYP - get a life. How judgemental - after all she is just few years older than George Bush, correct? Like I said, people of that generation......

Gee, I have always been an admirer of Helen Mirren but this comment about her professed reason for quitting cocaine amounts to a phony claim for virtue on her part. I guess it did not cause her conscience any pangs as long as the psychopathic murderers who have always made up the drug cartels were furnishing her with product, but if an ex-Nazi gets a share of the profit, then she 86's that habit. What a bunch of crap!

To Mdwrecker6: So she was doing drugs with other crackheads and got raped, boo-hoo, cry me a river. What did she expect? to be treated like a Queen with white gloves among other drug addicts? Oh and let's not forget this happened on more than one occasion? That's not coincidence, she was looking to get high and in exchange gave up her body. I would call that prostitution. So I think you're the imbecil for having such poor deductive reasoning skills. Go smoke a meat pole .

So if someone other than Klaus/ or another Nazi would not have been the seller that would've made the her use of cocaine ok, and she would've continued using this illegal drug? I've heard of lame excuses but this one takes it all. It would be like me saying that I will quit watching Rugby because I hate the English. True, I don't care for them much, but I still watch Rugby.

She was date-raped "a couple of times"? really, I wonder how that woul've happened. Sounds more like she was looking for that and being high. Didn't matter who was banging her, as long as she had a high and was getting c0ck, she was good to go. What the last guy said, what a lady.

Evidently the first "date rape" was so good she kept going back for more. What a Lady.
