Biography
About Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter has spent over four decades in film and television, moving from period dramas to blockbusters with equal ease. She first gained notice as Lucy Honeychurch in A Room with a View (1985), a role that set the pattern for her early career, where she was often typecast as a virginal 'English rose', a label she disliked. Her performance in The Wings of the Dove (1997) earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, and she won a BAFTA for her supporting role as Queen Elizabeth in The King's Speech (2010), along with another Oscar nomination.
Beyond her acclaimed dramatic roles, she is known for her eccentric fashion and dark aesthetic, often playing quirky characters. She portrayed Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series, the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland, and Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd. Her long collaboration with Tim Burton, her former partner, produced several memorable films. She has also appeared in Fight Club, Les Misérables, Cinderella, Ocean's 8, and Enola Holmes, showing her range across genres. More recently, she played Princess Margaret in The Crown, earning two Emmy nominations.
Born in Golders Green, London, she is British and has been active since 1983. At 60 years old, she stands 5'2" with an average build, brown hair, and brown eyes. Her measurements are 33-25-33, with a B cup. She has appeared topless in some roles, which is noted on her profile. Her career includes both film and television, with awards including an International Emmy for her portrayal of Enid Blyton. She was married to Kenneth Branagh and later to Tim Burton, and she continues to work in the industry.
