Helen Mirren celebrated in cement in LA

Helen Mirren has been immortalised in cement at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in LA.

The Oscar-winning actress left her hand and foot prints outside the Hollywood landmark during a ceremony on Monday.

She was introduced to the crowd by her Arthur co-star Russell Brand, who described her as an "empress, deity and God's representative here on earth".

"There have been three real moments of triumph in my life," said Mirren. "The first was being made a Dame of the British Empire, of which I'm enormously proud; the second was winning an Oscar; and the third is having my hands and feet in front of Grauman's Chinese."

She went on to joke: "Yes, I am a Dame of the British Empire, but now I'm very proud to say that I'm one of the many dames on Hollywood Boulevard."

Mirren, who kept her high heels on when she stepped into the cement, was accompanied to the ceremony by her family.

Arthur opens April 8 in the US and April 22 in the UK, while Mirren can also be seen hosting Saturday Night Live on April 9 at 11.30/10.30c on NBC.
