On Friday’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert invited a typically delightful Helen Mirren —sorry, that’s Dame Helen Mirren, Commander of the Order of the British Empire to you—to talk about her newest movie and dish about some of the legendary British actors she’s worked with. Naturally, being Helen Mirren, her reminiscences about former theatrical and film partners like Peter O’Toole, Ben Kingsley, Mark Rylance, and Patrick Stewart were both classy and a little saucy, delighting Colbert and, no doubt, everyone else. Jokingly balking at Colbert’s loose-lipped talk of her being a leading lady “since the 196os,” Mirren nonetheless has a strikingly long and varied theatrical and cinematic résumé from which to draw stories.
