| Actress Helen Mirren to receive European film award Posted: 25 Sep 2012 07:44 AM PDT  Helen Mirren at a news conference during the premiere of the film "The Door" in Budapest, March 7, 2012. — Reuters file pic The 67-year-old, best known for her Oscar-winning portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in "The Queen", will attend the awards ceremony held on December 1 in Malta. "It was discovering the immense diversity of European film making that gave me an enduring love and respect for the art form," Mirren said in response to the announcement of the European Achievement in World Cinema honour. "This award is therefore a very meaningful honour," she added in a statement. "I would be proud to be counted as an actor in the European tradition." Mirren began her film career in the late 1960s, with titles including Michael Powell's "Age of Consent", and established her reputation in 1980 with gangster movie "The Long Good Friday" also starring Bob Hoskins. She became a well-known figure in Britain for her work on the police television series "Prime Suspect", which won her a slew of prizes. In "The Madness of King George" (1994) she played Queen Charlotte, but it was 14 years later, in the part of another queen, Elizabeth II, that she established herself at the very top of her profession. Her portrayal of the current British monarch won her a best actress Academy Award, and she was nominated for the same award again for "The Last Station". Mirren will portray the queen on stage in a play written by the script writer of "The Queen", Peter Morgan. "The Audience" opens in London in 2013. — Reuters |
| Posted: 25 Sep 2012 05:58 AM PDT LOS ANGELES, Sept 25 — Following last week's announcement that Georgia May Jagger will appear worldwide as the face of the brand new Just Cavalli fragrance, we take a look at the Rolling Stones front man's prodigious brood.  Georgia May Jagger was signed last week as the face of the new Just Cavalli fragrance. ©Coty Prestige Jade Jagger — Mick's second child, Jade Jagger was born in Paris but raised in New York City by her mother, the Nicaraguan model Bianca Jagger. A jewellery designer, model and socialite, as well as a mother of two, Jade spent seven years as creative director of Asprey & Garrard, the oldest luxury brand in the world. Like her younger half-sister Georgia May, Jade has also been involved with the perfume industry, redesigning the bottle for Guerlain's Shalimar Eau de Parfum in 2010. Lizzy Jagger — The eldest child from Mick's marriage to Texan supermodel Jerry Hall. Lizzie has modelled for Mango, Lancôme and Marks and Spencer. She is currently the face of Parisian brand Eleven. James Jagger — Famously telling journalists that the Jagger name "is more of a curse" than a blessing, James has modelled for Tommy Hilfiger and Burberry, but his true passion lies on the stage. Mick's eldest son also plies his father's trade as a musician in the band Turbogeist. Georgia May Jagger — Mick and Jerry's third child, Georgia May has already stepped out of her parents' considerable shadows, bagging a modelling deal for Hudson Jeans back in 2009 when she was a tender 17 years old. Her signature gap-toothed style has seen her compared with Dutch supermodel Lara Stone and pick up a variety of advertising contracts including campaigns with Rimmel London and H&M. Mick's two youngest sons have not yet flown the nest, but clearly much is expected from Gabriel Jagger (Mick's youngest child with Jerry Hall), and Lucas Jagger (born to a Brazillian model mother, Luciana Giminez Morad). — AFP/Relaxnews |
