Reel Access

I thought since we are in the mist of the countdown to Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland", I read this article from Showbizspy.com in which Helen Bonham Carter talks about hating roles that portrays her as sex symbol. I thought it was cool and funny because she is a unique actress that I so happen to love. She mentions that her acting was improved due her aging. I thought that is pretty cool and brave to admit that age which is sensitive topic to middle aged woman played a part of her craft. She goes on to saying she doesn't like being the sex symbol, but prefers playing the grandma in films. Helen is so damn awesome for things like that. I find her quite honest and refreshing in all her movies that I have seen. 

I feel that a lot of young actors, who probably lost their way in the profession can learn from Ms. Bonham Carter. We constantly see actors, who abuse their talents and do retarded things and sadly lose their creditability. She seems to be in a much healthy and positive state of mind that actors should really be in. You can definitely tell who are actors and who are truly performers.To check out that article go to this link : http://www.showbizspy.com/article/200099/helena-bonham-carter-hates-playing-the-sex-symbol.html
