Helen Mirren didn’t think “it was a big deal” to pose naked

By Roger Friedman

HollywoodNews.com: Oscar winner Helen Mirren posed semi-naked in a bathtub shot last week in New York Magazine. Immediately, there was a big brouahaha.

Last night, Helen–who stars in the excellent “Love Ranch,” opening today in limited release–told me at the film’s premiere: “I didn’t think it was such a big deal. I couldn’t believe the reaction. I didn’t show very much.”

A friend reminded her: “This is America, Helen. Everything is a big deal.”

Mirren responded, after thinking about it: “No one in Europe or Britain would have cared.”
