Dame Helen Mirren has played her fair share of real people over the course of her six-decade career. But her latest historical figure, Israel's first female head of government Golda Meir, sees the actress delivering her most startling and challenging - transformation yet!
Golda, which co-stars Liev Schreiber, recounts the politician's leadership during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Helen, 78, admits she didn't "really know a lot" about Golda when she signed on to the film, so enjoyed delving into her research.
"All I knew is when she came to power [in 1969 it was an incredibly important moment for me as a woman to realise that women could be prime ministers," Helen tells New Idea in an exclusive interview.
Here, she sheds more light on inhabiting such an "incredible person".
