Helen Mirren makes impression in Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - March 29, 2011

Mirren joins a long list of celebrity hand and foot prints in the courtyard of the famed Hollywood tourist spot.

At her hand- and footprint ceremony, Mirren said "there have been three moments of triumph" in her life: being made a Dame by the British Empire; winning an Oscar and having her hands and feet in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater.

Mirren said "Yes I am a Dame of the British empire but now I am very proud to say that I am one of the many dames on Hollywood Boulevard."

She ended that comment with a hearty laugh.

The ceremony comes less than two weeks before the release of her latest movie, "Arthur."

She plays the nanny to the irresponsible billionaire played by Russell Brand.

Mirren won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 film "The Queen."

She also got Oscar nominations for her roles in "The Madness of King George," "Gosford Park" and "The Last Station."
